GETTING STARTED

This appliance is intended for household use only.

• Remove all packing material, stickers, and plastic bands around the power plug.
• Go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your product.
• Wash all removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING. Place the clean, dry stoneware pot in the cooking base
• Select a location where the slow cooker is to be used. Place the unit on a stable, heat-resistant surface, free from cloth, liquids, and any other flammable materials. Place the unit with ample space all the way around it, and far enough away from the wall, to allow heat to flow without damage to cabinets and walls.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BLACK+DECKER SLOW COOKER

• The stoneware pot gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders when touching any outer or inner surface of the appliance

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

General Tips:

• The stoneware pot should always be filled from ½ to 3⁄4 full, to avoid over and under-cooking.
  • When only half full, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours before recommended cooking time.
  • To avoid spillovers, do not fill the slow cooker more than 3⁄4 full.
  • Always slow cook with the lid on.
• Do not open the lid during the first 2 hours of cooking; this allows heat to rise efficiently.
  • Open the lid as little as possible to assure even cooking. Every time the lid is removed, the cooking time increases by 15–20 minutes.
• Most recipes can be cooked on either HIGH or LOW. Many recipes will give the time for both.
  • Low: Often used for longer cooking times, 8–10 hours, or less tender cuts of meat.
  • High: Cooking on a high setting is similar to a covered pot on the stovetop. Foods will cook on high in about half the time required for low cooking. Additional liquid may be required as foods can boil on high.
  • Warm: Only use to keep cooked foods at a food-safe serving temperature and should not be used to cook foods. It is not recommended to use “Warm” for more than 4 hours.
• Many standard recipes can be converted to slow cooker recipes with a few simple tips:
  • Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips, and beats require longer cooking times than most meats. Always place them on the bottom of the stoneware pot and cover them with liquids.
  • If adding fresh milk, yogurt, or cheese it should be done during the last 2 hours of cooking. Evaporated milk may be added at the start of cooking. If possible, substitute condensed soups for fresh milk or yogurt.
  • Rice and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods. Cook them separately and then add them to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes.
  • Liquids do not boil away in a slow cooker like they do in conventional cooking. Reduce the amount of liquid in any recipe not designed for a slow cooker. The only exception would be soups.
• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole such as roast or poultry
• Removed excess fat before serving with a slice of bread, or a spoon to skim it off the top.
• To save time, fill the stoneware pot the night before and refrigerate. You may need to add some extra cooking time because the food and stoneware pot are cold.

Ingredient Tips

DAIRY

• Milk products, especially those low in fat, tend to curdle if cooked too long; add them toward the end of the cooking time.
• Evaporated milk and condensed soups are great substitutes for milk and cream.

SOUPS AND STEWS

• Because there is little evaporation, soups, and stews require less liquid than usual.
• If too thick, add additional liquid in the last ½ hour of cooking or at serving time.
• Condensed soups and dry soup mixes add great flavor and body to sauces and gravies.

MEATS

• The higher the fat content, the less liquid is needed. Also, place thickly sliced onions under fattier meat to keep it above the drippings.
• Browning before cooking in the slow cooker is not necessary; however, browning meats, lightly coated in flour gives more body and flavor to sauces. This works for ground meat as well.
• Make sure the top of the meat does not touch the lid.
• Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the meat, the bones, and the cut. Meat with bone-in will take longer to cook. Lean meats and poultry will cook faster.
• Meats slow-cooked in liquids develop great flavor with a minimum of effort.
• Use HIGH for more tender cuts of meat; use LOW for tougher cuts.
• Always thoroughly thaw meats before cooking them in the slow cooker.

VEGETABLES

• Place vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips, and beet at the very bottom of the stoneware pot and always cover them with liquids. They usually take longer to cook than most meat.
• Vegetables cook well; they develop better flavor and don’t break down as they would in your oven.

FISH

• Fish cooks quickly; add it for the last 15 minutes.

SEASONINGS

• Fresh herbs should be added at the end of the cooking cycle. If cooked too long they lose their color and flavor.
• Dried herbs work well in the slow cooker and can be added at the beginning. They can become stronger on longer cooking; begin with less and add at the end, if needed.
•  Some spices and dried herbs, such as cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, and whole peppercorns can become quite intense with long cooking, so use sparingly.
• If using bay leaves, remember to remove them before serving.
• Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• The power may have been interrupted.

• The lid may have been improperly placed on the stoneware pot.

• The power in your home may be slightly different.

• Lid has been removed too many times during operation.

| • Make sure you use the correct setting for the recipe.

• If the power was interrupted and you don’t know for how long; discard the food.

• Make sure the lid is placed evenly on top of the stoneware pot.

• Keep the lid closed. Every time the lid is removed it adds

15–20 minutes to the cooking time.

Food is overcooked while slow cooking| • There may be a difference between your favorite recipe and the operation of the slow cooker.

• Not all slow cookers cook exactly the same; the settings could be cooking slightly different than slow cookers that have been used previously.

| • As you use the slow cooker settings, make note of any changes in time on your favorite recipes.
The meat was done but the vegetables were under-cooked while slow cooking| • The foods may have been improperly placed in the slow cooker.| • Place the vegetables on the bottom

and sides of the stoneware pot.

• Place the meat on top of the vegetables and in the center of the stoneware pot.

FAQ’s

What is the slow cooker principle?

As the food cooks, it releases steam, which the lid traps. The condensation creates a vacuum seal between the lid and the rim of the crock, which adds moisture to the food while helping the cooking process — the lid is integral to the cooking process. The slow cooker typically has three settings: low, high, and off.

What do you put under a slow cooker?

No worries! The next best option is to place your slow cooker on a baking sheet, a silicone baking mat, or a large wooden cutting board. All of these heat-resistant surfaces can also withstand moisture to prevent damage to your countertops.

Does the slow cooker need water?

A Crock-Pot might need liquid – it depends on the food you’re cooking. Because Crock-Pots use natural moisture and fat in the food, some foods won’t need a large amount of added water or broth, if any. You will need to add liquid when cooking drier foods, though.

Does a slow cooker use a lot of electricity?

According to the Energy Saving Trust, a slow cooker is one of the most energy- efficient kitchen appliances. On average, a slow cooker draws about the same amount of energy as a standard electric light bulb. This means that despite being on for a longer period of time, a slow cooker actually uses very little energy.

How long does a slow cooker take to heat up?

Preheat. To minimize the risk of food becoming unsafe by remaining in the temperature danger zone for too long, preheat your empty slow cooker on the highest setting for approximately 1 hour.

What are the two main benefits of a slow cooker?

As a result of the long, low-temperature cooking, slow cookers help tenderize less-expensive cuts of meat. A slow cooker brings out the flavor in foods. A wide variety of foods can be cooked in a slow cooker, including one-pot meals, soups, stews, and casseroles. A slow cooker uses less electricity than an oven.

What are the features of a slow cooker?

Slow cookers have both high- and low-temperature cooking settings, but some also come with a warming function, which holds foods warm at a lower temperature. They can also be tied into built-in timers so that once the timer goes off, the slow cooker automatically switches to the warm setting.

Why is it called a slow cooker?

Crock-Pot (1971), the brand name of the slow cooker by The Rival Company, from Crock +‎ pot. Coined by duplication and assonance.

What are the 3 settings on a slow cooker?

Most machines have a low, high, and warm setting. The slow cooker temperature range is between 175°F to 215°F. The low and high settings will peak at 215ºF. However, the low setting cycles on and off that temperature more frequently.

What are the modes of a slow cooker?

Most slow cookers have two temperature settings. The ‘Low’ cook setting reaches temperatures between 164-182°F (reaching a peak of around 205°F after 4 hours). Wondering what temperature is ‘High’ on a Crockpot slow cooker? The ‘High’ cook setting tops off at around 205°F after cooking for 4 hours.

Can I leave my slow cooker on all night?

Slow cookers are designed to be left to cook for long periods of time, so the truth is that it’s entirely safe to leave your slow cooker on overnight, if you’re out of the house or if you’re at work all day, as long as you follow all the directions and the manufacturer’s instructions.

What is the best use of a slow cooker?

Because of this low-and-slow method, slow cookers are great for breaking down and tenderizing large pieces of meat like pot roasts or beef stews. But that’s not all they can do. Slow cookers are also a home cook’s go-to choice for soups and ribs, plus dips, drinks, and bread.
