HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT SLOW COOKER (CONT.)
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CROCK-POT SLOW COOKER
• For recipes that require a range of times, select the time closest to the
setting on your Crock-Pot® slow cooker. 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.
• 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).
•
•
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.
• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware
•
•
•
higher than
¾
full.
• 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.
CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base in water or other liquid.
No other servicing should be performed.
• Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use
removable stoneware on gas or electric burner or under broiler. Refer to
chart below.

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 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 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
• For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning,
always ensure an adequate amount of liquid is used in the recipe.
BBQ PULLED PORK
Serves 6-8
• 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 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. Add pork back into Crock-Pot slow cooker and coat with
sauce.
4. Serve BBQ pulled pork on hamburger buns or hard rolls.
