Tips for Slow Cooking
• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing the glass
lid results in major heat loss and the cooking time may need to
be extended. However, if cooking on HIGH, you may want to stir
occasionally.
• Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule
doesn't allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the night before. Place
all ingredients in removable crock, cover with lid, and refrigerate
overnight. In the morning, simply place the removable crock in the
slow cooker.
• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a slow cooker.
Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added
2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are
perfect for slow cooking.

Electrical Shock Hazard.
w WARNING
Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug,
or base in any liquid.
4. The crock and lid can be washed in hot, soapy water or in the
dishwasher. DO NOT use the "SANI" setting when washing in
the dishwasher. "SANI" cycle temperatures could damage your
product. To prevent lingering food smells, found in most plastic
containers, clean rubber lid gasket with hot, soapy water after each
use. Store with lid ajar.
• Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your
favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in original
recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later.
• If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid
in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of the removable
crock.
• Reduce the amount of ingredients in a recipe calling for a larger
slow cooker to accommodate the 3.5-quart crock.
• Flavors of fresh herbs and dried spices can lessen over cooking
time. Add fresh herbs towards the end of the cooking time for the
best flavor.
