   • Note:

   • All vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and washed before stewing. Thin, leafy vegetables such as cabbage do not require as much water as root vegetables, such as carrots.
   • Do not remove Tempered Glass Lid during stewing, as steam will escape and the cooking time will be extended.
   • Food can be placed directly on the grilled surface of the Removable Nonstick Cooking Pan for stewing.
