Operating Instructions (cont'd) HOW TO SEAR BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash lid and insert in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. 1. Add oil to stoneware insert. 2. Heat oil on stovetop over medium to high heat. NOTICE: Do not use stoneware when empty since cooking surface and/or stoneware may be damaged. 3. Place food to be seared into stoneware. 4. When finished searing, carefully place stoneware in base. Proceed to ”How to Slow Cook” section.
Operating Instructions (cont'd) 3. Insert the plug into the wall outlet. 4. Turn the temperature control knob to desired heat setting to cook. Do not cook on the ”WARM” setting. Slow cooking is perfect for foods that require long, slow simmering, such as soups, stocks, stews, and dried beans. Slow cooking is also ideal for tougher and less expensive cuts of meat like shoulder and pot roast. The ”LOW” setting is usually used for recipes that cook longer.
Operating Instructions (cont'd) USAGE NOTES • If you suspect that the power has gone out during the day, 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. • To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾ full to conform to recommended cook times. • 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.
Helpful Tips BROWN/SAUTÉ • For even browning, it is important not to crowd the pot. Foods should be cooked in an even layer. Cook larger portions in batches when necessary. • When browning and sautéing foods before slow cooking, some items may produce a lot of grease. To remove excess, use pot holders to carefully remove the pot from the base; pour off the grease from the edge of the pot. Return the cooking pot to the base and finish cooking.
Helpful Tips • Removing the lid when slow cooking lets heat escape, requiring extra cooking time. Each time the lid is removed, add about 10 minutes of cooking time. • A fat mop can be used to remove separated fat from slow-cooked food by brushing it over the top. Alternatively, the food may be refrigerated and the congealed fat can then be lifted off and discarded before reheating and serving.
Cleaning • 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.
