HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER
CROCK-POT SLOW COOKER COMPONENTS
1. Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your ingredients to the
stoneware, and cover with the lid.
2. Plug in your Crock-Pot slow cooker. You will have to reduce the cooking
time of the recipe if the stoneware is less than three quarters full.
Fig. 1
®
3. The unit will be off until the POWER button is
pressed. Press the SELECT button to cycle
between time settings. Cook time options
include 4 or 6 hours on HIGH, or 8 or 10 hours
on LOW. The corresponding light illuminates,
the slow cooker heats, and the internal timer
starts counting down the time.
Removable Lid
Stoneware
4. When the cooking time has completed, the slow
cooker automatically shifts to the WARM setting
and the WARM light illuminates. The timer will
count up and the timer window will display the
amount of time the unit has been on warm.

5. The unit will automatically shut off after six hours on warm. When you
are done using the unit, press the POWER button.

USAGE NOTES:
• If there is a power outage while cooking, when the power is restored
the unit will be off. All slow cooker settings have been cleared and must
be reset. However, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of
how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the food.
• For recipes that require a range of times, select the time closest to the
setting on your slow cooker. For instance, to cook a recipe calling for a
cooking time of 7 to 9 hours on LOW, set your slow cooker to 8 hours.
®
PREPARING YOUR CROCK-POT SLOW COOKER FOR USE
Before you use your slow cooker, remove all packaging components and
wash the lid and stoneware with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
ASSEMBLY
• To avoid over- or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾ full
to conform to recommended cook times (with the exception of certain
cakes and custards, and as guided otherwise in our slow cooker recipes).
1.Place stoneware into the heating base.
2.Lower the lid horizontally down onto the stoneware (see Figure 1).
• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware
higher than ¾ full.

HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER (CONT.)
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER
• Always cook, with the lid on, for the recommended time. Do not
remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking, to allow the heat
to build up efficiently.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
• Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use
removable stoneware on gas or electric burner or under broiler. Refer to
chart below.
• ALWAYS turn your slow cooker off, unplug it from the electrical outlet,
and allow it to cool before cleaning.
• The lid and stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher or with hot,
soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring
pads. A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove residue. To
remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or
vinegar.
• As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware and lid will not withstand
sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the stoneware or lid with
cold water when they are hot.
• The outside of the heating base may be cleaned with a soft cloth and
warm, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base in water or other liquid.
• No other servicing should be performed.

HINTS AND TIPS
HINTS AND TIPS (CONT.)
PASTA AND RICE
• The flavor power of all herbs and spices can vary greatly depending on
their particular strength and shelf life. Use herbs sparingly, taste at end
of cook cycle and adjust seasonings just before serving.
• For best rice results, use long grain converted rice or a specialty rice as
the recipe suggests. If the rice is not cooked completely after the
suggested time, add an extra 1 to 1½ cups of liquid per cup of cooked
rice and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.
MILK
• Milk, cream, and sour cream break down during extended cooking.
When possible, add during the last 15 to 30 minutes of cooking.
• Condensed soups may be substituted for milk and can cook for
extended times.
• For best pasta results, first partially cook the pasta in a pot of boiling
®
water until just tender. Add the pasta to the Crock-Pot slow cooker
during the last 30 minutes of cook time.
BEANS
SOUPS
• Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/or
acidic foods. 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.
• Some soup recipes call for large amounts of water. Add other soup
ingredients to the slow cooker first then add water only to cover. If
thinner soup is desired, add more liquid at serving time.
MEATS
• Trim fat, rinse well, and pat meat dry with paper towels.
• Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.
• Browning meat in a separate skillet or broiler allows fat to be drained
off before slow cooking and also adds greater depth of flavor.
• Meat should be positioned so that it rests in the stoneware without
touching the lid.
• For smaller or larger cuts of meat, alter the amount of vegetables or
potatoes so that the stoneware is always ½ to ¾ full.
• The size of the meat and the recommended cook times are just
estimates and can vary depending upon the specific cut, type, and
bone structure. Lean meats such as chicken or pork tenderloin tend to
cook faster than meats with more connective tissue and fat such as beef
chuck or pork shoulder. Cooking meat on the bone versus boneless will
increase required cook times.
• Cut meat into smaller pieces when cooking with precooked foods such
as beans or fruit, or light vegetables such as mushrooms, diced onion,
eggplant, or finely minced vegetables. This enables all food to cook at
the same rate.
VEGETABLES
• Many vegetables benefit from slow cooking and are able to develop
their full flavor. They tend not to overcook in your slow cooker as they
might in your oven or on your stovetop.
• When cooking recipes with vegetables and meat, place vegetables in
slow cooker before meat. Vegetables usually cook slower than meat in
the slow cooker.
• Place vegetables near the sides or bottom of the stoneware to facilitate
cooking.
HERBS AND SPICES
• Fresh herbs add flavor and color, but should be added at the end of the
cooking cycle as the flavor will dissipate over long cook times.
• Ground and/or dried herbs and spices work well in slow cooking and
may be added at the beginning.

HINTS AND TIPS (CONT.)
RECIPES
• When cooking frozen meats, at least 1 cup of warm liquid must first be
BABY BACK RIBS
added. The liquid will act as a “cushion” to prevent sudden
temperature changes. An additional 4 hours on LOW or 2 hours on
HIGH is typically required. For larger cuts of frozen meat, it may take
much longer to defrost and tenderize.
Serves 6–10
2–4 racks of baby back ribs,
cut into 3–4 pieces each
2–4 cups barbecue sauce
2–3 onions, chopped
®
FISH
1. Place ribs in Crock-Pot slow cooker. Top with onion and barbecue
sauce.
• Fish cooks quickly and should be added at the end of the cooking cycle
during last fifteen minutes to hour of cooking.
2. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 4 hours, or until
meat is tender.
LIQUID
3. To serve, cut ribs between bones and coat with extra sauce as
desired.
• For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning, always
ensure an adequate amount of liquid is used in the recipe.
• Ensure the stoneware is always filled a minimum of ½ full and a
maximum of ¾ full, and conform to recommended cook times.
BBQ PULLED PORK
Serves 6–8
2½–5 pound pork loin,
trimmed of fat
2–4 cups barbecue sauce
2–3 onions, chopped
6–8 hamburger buns
or hard rolls
®
1. Place pork loin in Crock-Pot slow cooker. Top with onion and
barbecue sauce.
2. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 4 hours, or until
meat is tender.
®
3. Remove pork from Crock-Pot slow cooker and shred with a fork.
