Tips for Slow Cooking

•  Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired 

temperature has been reached.

•  The Crock should be at least half-filled for best results. 

If only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier 
than recipe.

•  Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking and removing 

the glass lid results in major heat loss and the cooking time 
may need to be extended. However, if cooking on High, you 
may want to stir occasionally. 

•  If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch space between the 

top of the Crock and the food so that the recipe can come to 
a simmer.

•  Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule 

doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the night before. 
Place all ingredients in the Crock, cover and refrigerate over-
night. In the morning, simply place the Crock in the slow 
cooker.

•  Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. 

Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.

•  Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in the slow 

cooker. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be 
added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed 
soups are perfect for the slow cooker.

•  The higher the fat content of the meat, the less liquid is needed. 

If cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices 
underneath so the meat will not sit on (and cook in) the fat.

•  Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your 

favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce the liquid called for in 
the original recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later.

•  If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be 

liquid in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of the 
crock.

•   To keep previously cooked food warm (food that is already 

at the desired temperature), select the Warm setting in any 
of the three cooking modes: Program, Manual or Probe. 

•   The cooking time is not affected or slowed down by steam 

or heat escaping from Probe Hole when probe is not in use.
