USDA Cooking Guidelines
PLEASE NOTE: The USDA recommends that meats such as beef and lamb, etc. should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C. Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F/71°C and poultry products should be cooked to an internal temperature of 170°F/77°C – 180°F/82°C to be sure any harmful bacteria have  been killed. When reheating meat/poultry products, they should also be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C.

Beautiful Hints For Slow Cooking

• Less tender, cheaper cuts of meat are better candidates for slow cooking than more expensive varieties.

• Meats will not brown during the cooking process. Browning fatty meats will reduce the amount of fat and help to preserve color while adding richer flavor. Heat a small  amount of oil in a skillet and brown meats prior to putting into the ceramic insert.

• Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.

• When cooking in a Programmable Slow Cooker, remember that liquids do not boil away like they do in conventional cooking. Reduce the amount of liquid in any recipe  that is not designed for a Programmable Slow Cooker. The exceptions to this rule would be rice and soups. Remember, liquids can always be added at a later time if  necessary. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the cover and re-program the Programmable Slow Cooker to continue to cook HIGH for 1 hour. Check every 15 minutes. After about 30 to 45 minutes the amount of liquid will be reduced.

• When cooking soups or stews, allow a 2-inch space between the food and the top of the ceramic insert, to allow ingredients to simmer.

• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole such as roast or poultry.

• Root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips and beets require longer cooking time than many meats. Be sure to place them on the bottom of the Programmable  Slow Cooker and cover them with liquid.

• Add fresh dairy products (milk, sour cream or yogurt) prior to serving.
  Evaporated milk or condensed creamed soups may be added at the start of cooking.

• Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods.
  Cook them separately and then add to the Programmable Slow Cooker during the last 30 minutes.

• KEEP GLASS LID AWAY FROM broiler, microwave oven, hot stovetop burners, in a heated oven, oven heat vents. If glass lid has been utilized in any of these locations,  do not use it again, even if there are no signs of damage.

• IF GLASS LID BECOMES CHIPPED, CRACKED OR SCRATCHED, DO NOT USE IT. Discard it.

• ALWAYS LET GLASS LID COOL on a dry, heat-resistant surface before handling. Do not place it on cold or wet surfaces, as this may cause it to crack or shatter.

• ALWAYS USE POTHOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS when removing the hot glass lid.
  To avoid burns from escaping steam, always tilt lid away from hands and face.

• USE THE LID REST when serving food from the base unit.

Cleaning Instructions
