Crock Capacity How much does your slow cooker hold? The capacity of your slow cooker refers to the amount the crock can hold if it is filled to the rim. However, we DO NOT recommend filling to the rim. As a rule, you should select recipes that yield 1 quart less than the listed capacity of your crock. For example, if your slow cooker is labeled as a 6-quart slow cooker, your best results will be achieved using recipes that yield 5 quarts or less. 3 840085800 ENv03 7/27/01 9:12 AM Page 4 Control Knob and Temperature Settings The Control Knob on the slow cooker offers Low and High temperature settings for cooking. The Keep Warm setting is for holding the prepared recipe at a perfect serving temperature. The Keep Warm setting should only be used after a recipe has been thoroughly cooked. Food should not be reheated on the Keep Warm setting. If food has been cooked and then refrigerated it must be reheated on Low or High and then switched to Keep Warm. CAUTION: The Keep Warm setting should only be used after completely cooking the recipe according to the instructions. The food must be hot enough to prevent bacterial growth before using the Keep Warm setting. Do not use the Keep Warm setting to reheat any food that has been refrigerated or frozen.

The sides of the base of the slow cooker get very warm because the heating elements are located here. Use the handles on the base if necessary. Use hot mitts to remove the crock. 4 840085800 ENv03 7/27/01 9:12 AM Page 5 Tips for Slow Cooking The cover of the slow cooker does not form a tight fit on the crock but should be centered on the crock for best results. Do not remove the cover unnecessarily— this results in major heat loss. Do not cook without cover in place. Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. However, if cooking on High, you may want to stir occasionally. Slow cooking retains most of the moisture in foods. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the cover, turn the Control Knob to High, and reduce the liquid by simmering. This will take 30 to 45 minutes. The slow cooker should be at least half-filled for best results. If only half- filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe time. If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch space between the top of the crock and the food so that the recipe can come to a simmer. Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the night before. Place all ingredients in the crock, cover, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place crock in the slow cooker and select the temperature setting. Meat and poultry require at least 7 to 8 hours on Low. Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.
