Using your Crock-Pot® slow cooker 1. Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your ingredients to the stoneware, and cover with the lid (See Fig. 1). 2. Plug in your Crock-Pot® slow cooker and select the temperature setting. Refer to your specific recipe for precise cook times. NOTE: Some models feature a WARM setting. WARM is ONLY for keeping already cooked food warm. DO NOT cook on the WARM setting. We do not recommend using the WARM setting for more than 4 hours. 3.
cooking hints and tips • • • • • • • Trim fats and wipe meats well to remove residue. (If meats contain fats, brown in a separate skillet or pan and drain well before adding to the cooking pot). Season with salt and pepper. Place the meat in the cooking pot on top of vegetables. For pot roasts and stews, pour liquid over the meat. Use no more liquid than specified in the recipe. More juices are retained in meat and vegetables during slow cooking than in conventional cooking.
PASTA AND RICE If a recipe calls for cooking noodles, pasta or macaroni etc., cook on the hob in a saucepan before adding to the Slow Cooker. Do not overcook - just until slightly tender. If rice is required, stir in with other ingredients. Add 60ml (4tbsp) cup of extra liquid per 60ml (4tbsp) cup of raw rice. Use long grain rice for best results. LIQUIDS Use less in Slow Cooking - usually about half the recommended amount. 250ml (8 fl.oz) of liquid is usually enough, unless it contains rice or pasta.
Q A “Can I cook a roast without adding water”. Yes - if cooked on LOW. We recommend a small amount of water because the gravies are especially tasty. The more fat or “marbelling” the meat has, the less liquid you need. The liquid is needed to properly soften and cook the vegetables.

Add back into Crock-Pot® slow cooker and coat with sauce. 4. Serve pulled pork on hamburger buns or hard rolls.
