• Use a sponge and warm, soapy water to wash the lid and cooking pot. The lid is dishwasher
safe. The cooking pot is NOT dishwasher safe. Do NOT use abrasive cleaning agents or
scouring pads.
• Dry thoroughly.
• Gently wipe down exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel. Warning: Never immerse the
Slow Cooker’s housing or plug in water or any other liquids.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE HELPFUL TIPS
• Never heat the cooking pot without any contents.
• Always heat the cooking pot with some oil, butter or other cooking fat, or with
liquid and/or other ingredients.
• If using the cooking pot on a stove top, always heat the cooking pot slowly and
gently over medium heat.
• Avoid drastic temperature changes such as adding cold water to the hot
cooking pot.
• Always use protective mitts when handling the hot cooking pot.
• When browning or sautéing, add food in batches. Do NOT crowd the cooking
pot.
• When browning or sautéing, some foods produce a lot of grease. Use a slotted
spoon to remove food. Use protective mitts to handle cooking pot and dispose
of excess grease. This will help promote browning.
• Wine, or another acid such as lemon juice, may be used to deglaze the cooking
pot after browning meat. (This will add flavor and depth to the finished dish.)
Add the acid and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the excess bits that have
cooked onto the bottom of the cooking pot. Allow 1-2 minutes for the liquid to
evaporate before adding subsequent ingredients.
• Do NOT use metal utensils or tongs. Use long-stemmed, heat resistant serving
utensils or silicone-tipped tongs.
• Do not fill cooking pot more than 2/3 full.
• Do not fill cooking pot less than 1/2 full.
• If using a traditional recipe, reduce liquid amount by approximately 1/3. (Liquid
does not evaporate during slow cooking like it does when cooking on a
stovetop or in an oven.)
• Before slow cooking, add enough liquid to just cover ingredients.
• Try not to remove lid to check food during cooking. Removing the lid will cause
the temperature to drop.
• Most recipes can be slow cooked on Low or High temperatures. Choose a
temperature based on your allotted cooking.
• Low usually requires 8-10 hours of cooking while High usually requires 4-6 hours
of cooking.
