HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT SLOW COOKER
1. There are three temperature settings. LOW is recommended for slow ”all-day”
1
cooking. 1 hour on HIGH equals about 2 to 2 ⁄
2
hours on LOW. WARM is for
keeping food warm only. DO NOT cook on WARM setting.
2. Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a recipe.
However, do not cook frozen meats (such as roasts or chickens) unless you first
add at least 1 cup of warm liquid. The liquid will act as a “cushion” to prevent
sudden changes in temperature. Cook recipes containing frozen meats an
additional 4 to 6 hours on LOW, or 2 hours on HIGH.
3. Always cook with the lid on.
4. Follow recommended cooking times.
5. Do not use slow cooker stoneware for storage of food.
®
6. Do not reheat foods in your Crock-Pot slow cooker.
7. Do not set heated unit filled with food on a finished wood table.
8. Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
9. Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use stoneware
on gas or electric burners or under broiler. The lid is not microwave proof.
PREPARE AHEAD CONVENIENCE!
Fill bowl and refreigerate. When ready to cook, set in electrical base and turn to
LOW or HIGH. Do not preheat electrical base.
®
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CROCK-POT SLOW COOKER
Unplug unit. CAUTION: Never submerge heating unit in water or other liquid.
REMOVABLE STONEWARE
• The removable stoneware goes safely into the dishwasher, or may be washed in
hot soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds – a cloth, a sponge or
rubber spatula will usually remove the residue. To remove water spots and other
®
stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner (such as Bon-Ami Polishing Cleaner) or vinegar.
• The outside case may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water.
Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CARE OF STONEWARE
• The stoneware may be washed in hot soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning
compounds – a cloth, a sponge or rubber spatula will usually remove the residue.
To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner (such as Bon-
®
Ami Polishing Cleanser) or vinegar.
• The outside case may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water.
Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware bowl will not withstand the shock of sudden
temperature changes.
• If the stoneware has been preheated or is hot to the touch, do not put in cold
-3-
®
foods. Do not preheat Crock-Pot slow cooker before using unless specified in the
recipe. The stoneware should be at room temperature before adding hot foods.
• To wash your stoneware right after cooking, use hot water. Do not pour in cold
water if the stoneware is hot.
HINTS
• Trim fats and wipe meats well to remove residue. (If meats contain fats, brown in a
separate skillet or broiler and drain well before adding to cooker.) Season with salt
and pepper. Place meat in cooker on top of vegetables.
• For roasts and stews, pour liquid over meat. Use no more liquid than specified in
the recipe. More juices in meats and vegetables are retained in slow cooking than in
conventional cooking.
• Most vegetables should be thinly sliced or placed near the sides or bottom of the
stoneware. Meats generally cook faster than most vegetables in a slow cooker.
• Use whole leaf herbs and spices for best and truest flavor for all-day cooking. If
ground herbs and spices are used, they should be stirred in during the last hour of
cooking.
• Because there is no direct heat at the bottom, always fill the stoneware at least half
full to conform to recommended times. Small quantities may be prepared, but
cooking time will be affected.
• A specific liquid called for in a recipe may be varied if an equal quantity is substituted.

(Such as substituting a 10 ⁄
4
ounce can of soup plus 4 ounces of water for a 14 ⁄
2
1
1
ounce can of tomatoes OR ⁄
2
cup beef or chicken broth for ⁄ cup of wine, etc.)
2
• Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/or acid foods
(NOTE: Sugar and acid have a hardening effect on beans and will prevent
softening). Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding
to a recipe. Cover the beans with 3 times their volume of unsalted water and bring
1
to a boil. Boil 10 minutes, reduce heat, cover and allow to simmer 1 ⁄
2
hours or until
beans are tender. Soaking in water, if desired, should be completed before boiling.
Discard water after soaking or boiling.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q
“What if the food isn’t done after 8 hours…when the recipe says
8 to 10 hours?”
A
This is due to voltage variations which are commonplace everywhere; altitude; or
even extreme humidity. The slight fluctuations in power do not have a noticeable
effect on most appliances; however, it can slightly alter the cooking times. Allow
plenty of time, and remember, it is practically impossible to overcook. You will
learn through experience whether to decrease or increase cooking times.
-4-
®
Q
A
“Must the Crock-Pot slow cooker be covered? Is it necessary to stir?”
Cook with the cover on. The slow cooker will not recover heat losses quickly
when cooking on LOW setting. Significant amounts of heat escape whenever the
lid is removed; therefore the cooking time must be extended. Avoid frequent
removal of the cover for checking cooking progress or stirring. Never remove
cover during the first 2 hours when baking breads or cakes.
It is not necessary to stir while cooking on LOW heat. While using HIGH heat for
short periods, occasional stirring improves the distribution of flavors.
Q
A
“How about thickening the juices or making gravy?”
Add some quick-cooking tapioca to any recipe when you want to make a thick
gravy. Add the tapioca at the beginning and it will thicken as it cooks! Or you
may remove the solid foods, leaving the juices. Prepare a smooth paste of
1
1
approximately ⁄
2
cup flour or cornstarch to ⁄ cup water or 4 tablespoons melted
2
butter. Pour mixture into liquid in stoneware and stir well. Turn to HIGH and
when it comes to a boil (about 15 minutes) it’s ready.
Q
A
“Can I cook a roast without adding water?”
Yes – if cooked on LOW. We recommend a small amount because the gravies are
especially tasty. The more fat or “marbling” the meat has, the less liquid you
need. The liquid is needed to properly soften and cook vegetables.
GUIDE TO ADAPTING RECIPES
®
This guide is designed to help you adapt recipes to the Crock-Pot slow cooker — your
own favorites and prized recipes collected from friends, food companies, newspapers
and magazines. Our aim is to save preparation time with fewer steps and dishes…and
to keep cooking simple. In most cases, all ingredients can go into your slow cooker in
the beginning and can cook all day. Many preparatory steps are unnecessary when
®
using the Crock-Pot slow cooker. A few hints:
• Allow sufficient cooking time.
• Cook with cover on.
• Do not add as much water as some recipes indicate.
• Remember — liquids don’t “boil away” as in conventional cooking. Usually you’ll
have more liquid at the end of cooking instead of less.
• It’s “one-step” cooking: many steps in recipes may be deleted. Add ingredients to
the stoneware at one time and cook 8 to 12 hours (add any liquid last).
• Vegetables do not overcook as they do when boiled in your oven or on your range.
®
Therefore, everything can go into the Crock-Pot slow cooker at one time.

EXCEPTION: milk, sour cream or cream should be added during last hour of
cooking.
TIME GUIDE
IF RECIPE SAYS:
15 to 30 minutes
COOK ON LOW:
OR COOK ON HIGH:
1
4 to 6 hours
1 ⁄
2
to 2 hours
35 to 45 minutes
50 minutes to 3 hours
6 to 10 hours
8 to 18 hours
3 to 4 hours
4 to 6 hours
Most uncooked meat and vegetable combinations will require at least 8 hours on LOW.
PASTA AND RICE
If recipe calls for cooking noodles, macaroni, etc., cook on rangetop before adding to
slow cooker. Don’t overcook — just until slightly tender. If cooked rice is called for, stir
1
1
4
4
in with other ingredients; add ⁄ cup extra liquid per ⁄ cup of raw rice. Use long grain
converted rice for best results in all-day cooking.
LIQUIDS
Use less in slow cooking — usually about half the recommended amount. One cup of
liquid is enough for any recipe unless it contains rice or pasta.
SAUTEING VEGETABLES
Generally not necessary! Stir in chopped or sliced vegetables with other ingredients.
ONLY EXCEPTION: eggplant should be parboiled or sauteed, due to strong flavor.
Since vegetables develop their full flavor potential with slow cooking, expect delicious
results even when you reduce quantities. Because vegetables take longer to cook than
meat, slice or chop them when possible.
HERBS AND SPICES
Leaf or whole herbs and spices are preferred, but their flavor power may increase —
use half the recommended amount. If you use ground herbs and spices, add during
last hour of cooking.
MILK
Milk, cream and sour cream tend to break down during extended cooking. When
possible add during last hour of cooking. Condensed soups may be substituted for
milk, etc., and can cook for extended times.
SOUPS
Some soup recipes call for 2 to 3 quarts of water. Add other soup ingredients to
®
Crock-Pot slow cooker; then add water only to cover. If thinner soup is desired, add more
liquid at serving time. If milk-based recipes have no other liquid for initial cooking, add 1
or 2 cups water. Then during last hour of cooking, stir in milk or cream as called for.
