HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER COOKING: Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of the table surface. Do not use on the floor. Place food and other ingredients into the ceramic pot, and place the pot into the base. Cover with the glass lid. If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior to slow cooking, this must be done in a pan. Do not try to brown or pre-cook food in the slow cooker. Plug cord into a 120V AC outlet.
Even when turned off and unplugged, the slow cooker remains hot for some time after using; set aside and allow unit to cool before cleaning or storing. KEEP WARM FUNCTION: Food can be kept warm in the slow cooker for up to 4 hours. Past 4 hours and food contents may start to become dry or the flavor may alter. Food cooked in other appliances can be transferred to the slow cooker to keep warm as well.
All food should be covered with a liquid, gravy or sauce. In a separate pan or jug prepare your liquid, gravy or sauce and completely cover the food in the slow cooker. Suitable Foods for Slow Cooking & Preparation Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods; however there are a few guidelines that need to be followed. Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take longer to cook than meat. They should be gently sautéed for 2-3 minutes before slow cooking.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Always make sure the slow cooker is unplugged and in the OFF position before storing away or cleaning. Make sure the unit has cooled down completely before cleaning. - The ceramic insert is dishwasher safe or can also be cleaned with warm soapy water. To remove any foods that have been cooked onto the bottom of the pot, simply soak overnight in soapy water and rinse the next day. Do not place a hot or warm ceramic insert into a cold environment or it may result in cracking.
