slow cooker has three heat settings: LOW, HIGH and WARM. Use the recommended guidelines oered in the
recipe being used to determine cooking time and heating position. Dishes can be prepared well in advance

HINTS FOR SLOW COOKING
• Meats will not brown during the cooking process. If you desire browning, heat a small
amount of oil in a skillet and brown meats prior to placing into the stoneware liner.
• Whole herbs and spices avor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.
• When cooking in a Slow Cooker, remember that liquids do not boil away like they do in conventional
cooking. Reduce the amount of liquid in any recipe that is not designed for a Slow Cooker. The exceptions
to this rule would be rice and soups. Remember, liquids can always be added at a later time if necessary. If
a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the glass lid and turn the control
dial to HIGH. After about 30-45 minutes the amount of liquid will be reduced.
• Most recipes that call for uncooked meat and vegetables require about 6-8 hours on LOW temperature.
