HELPFUL HINTS IN USING THE SLOW COOKER
• The cover of the slow cooker does not form a tight t on the cooking pot but should be centered
on the pot for best results. Do not remove the cover unnecessarily – this will result in a major
heat loss.
• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. However, if cooking on HIGH, stirring occasion-
ally will help to distribute avors throughout the recipe.
• For best results, the slow cooker should be at least half-lled.
• If cooking soups or stews, allow a 2-inch space between the food and the top of the cooking
pot, so ingredients can come to s simmer. When cooking on HIGH, keep checking progress,
as some soups may come to boil.
