• Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking will allow
heat to escape, thereby increase the required cooking time.
• When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the
vegetables at the bottom of the stoneware liner first, and then add
the meat and other ingredients.
• Meat will not brown when slow cooking. If you wish to brown the
meat, do so in a separate cooking pan before putting in the slow
cooker.
• Whole herbs and spices have a better flavor than if crushed or
ground.
• Remember that liquids do not boil away in a slow cooker like they
would do in a normal pan. Reduce the amount of liquids if following
a recipe not specifically written for slow cooking. Exceptions to this
rule are soups and rice. If a recipe results in too much liquid, remove
the cover and turn the appliance to the HIGH setting.
• Most recipes that call for uncooked meat or vegetables will require
about 6-8 hours slow cooking time on the LOW setting.
• Meat with a high fat content will result in dishes with fewer flavors.
Pre-cooking or browning these meats will help reduce the amount of
fat. The higher the fat content, the smaller the amount of water is
needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, cook on a bed of
thick onion slices so that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat. If
necessary, skim off the excess fat from the top of the food, using a
spoon, before serving.
• Food cut in small (or medium) uniform pieces will cook more evenly
and faster than if left whole (poultry, roasts)
• Rice, noodles, pasta, and creams are not recommended to cook for
extended periods of time. Please cook separately and add to the
preparation 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
• DO NOT SWITCH THE COOKER ON WHEN THE CERAMIC POT IS EMPTY
OR OUT OF THE BASE!
• Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.
• Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.
• The slow cooker must be at least half full for best results.
• Many recipes demand all day cooking. If you do not have time to
prepare food in the morning, prepare it the night before and store
the food in a covered container in the refrigerator. Transfer the food
to the crock pot and add liquid/gravy. Select the required setting.
