Congratulations on receiving your new Crockpot® Express XL Cooking Pot &
Steamer Basket!
To keep you as happy and informed about your Crockpot® Express accessories, we have added some
additional helpful hints & tips below to guide you through the cooking process. Note: The non-stick Cooking
Pot is compatible with Crockpot Express XL (7.6L) models only.
A NOTE BEFORE USING THE STEAMER BASKET
STEAMING GUIDE
1. Always have minimum 1 1/2 cups (approx. 350ml) of liquid - Pressure cookers generate steam in order to
build pressure. Liquid is needed to create steam. So in order for your Crockpot® Express to build enough
pressure to cook your meal, there needs to be enough liquid in the pot to boil and generate steam. 1 ½
cups of water is usually enough liquid to successfully build pressure, however, refer to the food chart
below for more accuracy based on meal type. TIP: You can add stock to help marinate your food.
2. Capacity - Do not over fill your steamer basket, otherwise things will not cook through properly . Ensure
the water sits under the steamer basket so that food is not touching water.
3. Not all meals are equal and you will find that even though you can cook broccoli for 1 minute, carrots for
example are thicker and need much longer. Please see the food guide below.
4. Steaming a whole meal, place the hardest to cook items at the bottom of the steamer basket and then
lay the rest on top. An example would be hard carrots on the bottom to thin strips of chicken on top.
1. Place the appropriate amount of liquid in the bottom of your Crockpot® Express cooking pot.
2. Insert your steamer basket, folding down the handle.
3. Add the ingredients you wish to steam into the basket.
4. Place the pressure cooker lid on and lock by rotating counterclockwise to the LOCKED position.
5. Ensure the easy steam release dial is in the SEALED position.
6. Press the STEAM function and adjust timer to your desired cook time. Press START/STOP.
7. Once cooking is complete, release pressure via the easy steam release dial.
8. Using a kitchen glove mitt or tea-towel, carefully remove the steamer basket by lifting the handle, remove
the steamed food and serve.
CAUTION: During cooking, steam will build up in the cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or
mitt to remove the steamer basket.
