FOOD SAFETY TIPS:

• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow
cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow
cooking.
• Visit www.foodsafety.gov for more information
on safe internal cooking temperatures.
• To store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place
the entire crock in the refrigerator since contents
will take too long to cool. Instead, divide
leftovers into smaller containers and place into
refrigerator.

• Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at
room temperature in the slow cooker. Once meat
is placed into the crock, it should be cooked
immediately (unless prepping slow cooker the
night before, where crock should be placed into
the refrigerator).
