Frequently Asked Questions - Premiere 33351 HAMILTON BEACH

How to use the slow cooker for the first time?

Wash the lid and removable pot with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. Do not immerse the base. To sear meats, add oil to the pot and heat on the stovetop over medium-high heat before placing the food.

Can I sear food in the removable pot on the stovetop?

Yes, the aluminum die-cast pot is designed for use on a cooktop. Do not heat it empty to avoid damaging the surface.

What is the recommended fill level for the pot?

For best results, fill the pot to half capacity or within 2.5 cm (1 inch) of the rim. Do not overfill to allow for simmering.

How to clean the removable pot and lid?

Let cool, remove the pot and wash with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher (hand washing recommended to preserve non-stick). The lid is hand wash only. Never immerse the base.

Can I put the pot in the oven or microwave?

The pot and glass lid can go in a conventional oven, but never in a microwave, toaster oven, under the broiler, or directly on a burner.

What if the food is not cooking enough?

Check that you are using the correct setting (Low or High) and not the Keep Warm mode. Ensure the lid is properly seated. In case of power outage, cooking time may be extended. Adjust time accordingly.

How to safely use the Keep Warm setting?

The Keep Warm setting should only be used after food has been fully cooked to a temperature sufficient to prevent bacterial growth. Do not reheat already cooked and refrigerated food with this setting; use Low or High first.

Can the glass lid be placed in the oven?

Yes, the glass lid can go in a conventional oven, but avoid extreme temperature changes (do not plunge hot lid into cold water). Do not use it in the microwave.

What to do in case of power outage during cooking?

If food has not reached a safe temperature, discard it for food safety reasons. When in doubt, use a food thermometer. Cooking time may be extended after power returns.

This product is intended for household use only.

This product is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and serving of foods. This product is not intended for use with any non-food materials or products.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter-top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

Wash lid in hot, soapy water.

Stovetop-safe cookware may be washed in dishwasher. However, to maintain nonstick and aluminum finishes, it is recommended to wash stovetop-safe cookware in hot, soapy water.

NOTICE: Do not use metal utensils or abrasive cleansers when cleaning stovetop-safe cookware's nonstick surface.

Tips for Slow Cooking

• The stovetop-safe cookware 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. Removing 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 (5 cm) space between the top of the stovetop-safe cookware 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 stovetop-safe cookware, cover with lid, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place stovetop-safe cookware in slow cooker.

• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in slow cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before searing or slow cooking.

• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a slow cooker. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are perfect for slow cooking.

• The higher the fat content of meat, the less liquid is needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices underneath so meat will not sit on (and cook in) fat.
• Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in 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 stovetop-safe cookware.
• Lid vent hole will not affect cooking time. The vent hole may be used with a temperature probe to test food doneness. Visit foodsafety.gov for safe cooking temperature information.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	PROBABLE CAUSE
Food is undercooked.	Was food cooked on the Keep Warm setting? Do not cook on Keep Warm; always cook on Low or High heat settings.Was power interrupted?Did you select the Low heat setting but use a cooking time based on the High heat setting?Did you have the lid placed correctly on the slow cooker?
The food isn't done after cooking the amount of time recommended in my recipe.	This can be due to voltage variations (which are commonplace everywhere) or altitude. The slight fluctuations in power do not have a noticeable effect on most appliances; however, they can alter the cooking times in the slow cooker by extending the cooking times. Allow sufficient time and select the appropriate heat setting. You will learn through experience if a shorter or longer time is needed.NOTE: Lid vent hole will not affect cooking time.
My meal was overcooked. Why?	Was the stovetop-safe cookware at least half-full? The slow cooker has been designed to thoroughly cook food in a filled stovetop-safe cookware. If the stovetop-safe cookware is only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe time.Did you select correct number of hours based on cooking temperature (Low or High)?Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached.Was the stovetop-safe cookware used to brown foods on the stovetop and placed in base while still hot? If so, cooking time may be shortened. Check for doneness 30 minutes to 1 hour earlier than recipe time.
