HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT SLOW COOKER  
HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT SLOW COOKER (CONT.)  
1. Add your ingredients to the stoneware and cover with the lid.  
2. Plug in your Crock-Pot 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.  
®
3. Select temperature setting (HIGH or LOW).  
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.  
NOTE: WARM is ONLY for keeping already cooked food at the  
perfect serving temperature. DO NOT cook on the WARM setting.  
4. Press the "Time" arrows to scroll through the timed cooking options.  
The time can be set in increments of 30 minutes up to 20 hours. Select  
the time based on the length of time indicated in the recipe. The time  
will begin to count down in one minute increments.

6. To turn the Crock-Pot slow cooker off, press the OFF button and

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER  
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 the  
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.  
USAGE NOTES:  
If there is a power outage, the display and lights blink when the power  
is restored. All slow cooker settings have been cleared and must be  
reset. As a result, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of  
how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the food inside.  
For recipes that require a range of times, select the time in the middle of  
the range. For instance, to cook a recipe calling for a cooking time of 7 to  
®
9 hours on LOW, set your Crock-Pot slow cooker to 8 hours.  
If desired, you can manually switch to WARM when your recipe is done  
cooking.  
To avoid over or undercooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾ full and  
conform to the recommended cook times (unless guided otherwise in our  
slow cooker recipes).  
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.  
Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware  
No other servicing should be performed.

HINTS AND TIPS  
HINTS AND TIPS (CONT.)  
PASTA AND RICE  
• Ground and/or dried herbs and spices work well in slow cooking  
and may be added at the beginning.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
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.  
BEANS  
• 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.  
SOUPS  
• 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.  
• Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried  
beans.  
MEATS  
• Trim fat, rinse well, and pat meat dry with paper towels.  
• 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.  
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.

HINTS AND TIPS (CONT.)  
RECIPES  
• Cut meat into smaller pieces when cooking with precooked foods  
such as beans or fruit, or light vegetables such as mushrooms,  
BABY BACK RIBS  
Serves 6-10  
diced onion, eggplant, or finely minced vegetables. This enables  
all food to cook at the same rate.  
2-4 racks of baby back ribs,  
cut into 3-4 pieces each  
2-4 cups barbecue sauce  
2-3 onions, chopped  
• When cooking frozen meats, at least 1 cup of warm liquid must  
first be 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.  
®
1. Place ribs in Crock-Pot slow cooker. Top with onion and  
barbecue sauce.  
2. Cover and cook on Low for 7-9 hours or on High for 4-5 hours,  
or until meat is tender.  
FISH  
3. To serve, cut ribs between bones and coat with extra sauce as  
desired.  
• Fish cooks quickly and should be added at the end of the cooking  
cycle during last fifteen minutes to hour of cooking.  
LIQUID  
BBQ PULLED PORK  
Serves 6-8  
• 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.  
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 7-9 hours or on High for 4-5 hours,  
or until meat is tender.  
®
3. Remove pork from Crock-Pot slow cooker and shred with a

fork. Add pork back into Crock-Pot slow cooker and coat with  
sauce.
