HINTS AND TIPS

• It is recommended to always preheat the appliance, cook defrosted food and cook from a refrigerated temperature to shorten the cooking time. Keep raw meat / poultry separate from cooked foods.
• Use separate utensils for handling raw meat / poultry and cooked food or wash them thoroughly between uses.
• Always wash hands after handling raw meat / poultry and before handling any cooked foods.
• Wipe and disinfect surfaces that have been in contact with raw meat / poultry.
• It is recommended to only use nylon, heat-proof plastic or wooden cooking utensils. Metal utensils may become hot and damage the non-stick surface. Always remove utensils from the appliance. Do not leave them in the appliance during use.
• When using the HIGH setting, stir foods occasionally to reduce sticking to the sides of the pot.
• Foods will be brought to a simmer at all cooking settings.
• Smaller food normally requires less cooking time than larger food.
• If the cooking pots are fi lled less than half full, suggested cooking times should be reduced.
• During slow cooking, liquids do not boil away. Begin with a small amount of liquid and add more during the cooking process when needed. If there is too much liquid at the end of the cooking process, set the cooking program to HIGH. Cook on this setting to reduce the amount of liquid.
• Slow cookers cook food at much lower temperatures than conventional cooking methods. Always ensure that cooking times are adjusted for raw and chilled foods such as meat and poultry to ensure they are cooked until hot throughout.
• Some vegetables require a longer cooking time. Place vegetables like potatoes, carrots or beets on the bottom of the pot. Cover with liquid.
• You may fill the cooking pots with food the night before cooking and refrigerate. When ready, place cooking pots into the heating base and cook. The gradual warming will not harm the cooking pots. Do not preheat the appliance.
• Milk, sour cream and natural cheese break down during long hours of cooking. Add these ingredients just before serving or substitute with undiluted condensed creamed canned soups or evaporated milk. Processed cheese tends to give better results than naturally aged cheese.
• Rice and pasta may be added uncooked during the last hour of cooking time. If added uncooked, make sure there are at least two cups of liquid in the cooking pots. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
• Insert a meat thermometer into roast, hams or whole chickens to ensure they are cooked to recommended temperature. Fresh or thawed fish and seafood fall apart during long hours of cooking. Add these ingredients an hour before serving.
• It is recommended to clean all accessories used after each use.
