Lid Vent Hole NOTE:The purpose of the Lid Vent Hole is to vent steam. Cooking time is not affected. Do not remove silicone gasket from hole. 840175900 ENnv12.qxd:Layout 1 11/24/08 9:29 AM Page 45 How to Sear in Stovetop-Safe Cookware

Add oil to stovetop-safe cookware. Heat oil on stovetop over medium to high heat. NOTICE: Do not heat stovetop- safe cookware when empty as cooking surface and/or stovetop- safe cookware may be damaged. Place food to be seared into stovetop-safe cookware.

When finished searing, follow recipe or carefully place stovetop- safe cookware in base. Proceed to How to Slow Cook section. Before First Use: Wash lid and stovetop-safe cookware in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. NOTE: Do not use metal utensils when placing food in and removing food from stovetop-safe cookware. 840175900 ENnv12.qxd:Layout 1 11/24/08 9:29 AM Page 56 How to Slow Cook

Before First Use: Wash lid and stovetop-safe cookware in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. NOTE: Do not use metal utensils when placing food in and removing food from stovetop-safe cookware.

When cooking is finished, turn OFF or select Keep Warm. Select Low or High. Do not cook on Keep Warm.

Food Safety Hazard. Food must be hot enough to prevent bacterial growth before using Keep Warm setting. The Keep Warm setting should only be used after a recipe has been thoroughly cooked. Do not reheat food on Keep Warm setting. If food has been cooked and then refrigerated, reheat it on Low or High; then switch to Keep Warm. Visit foodsafety.gov for more information. w WARNING NOTE: Lid vent hole will not affect cooking time. 840175900 ENnv12.qxd:Layout 1 11/24/08 9:29 AM Page 67 Cleaning and Care

Remove stovetop-safe cookware and let cool. Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or base in any liquid. w WARNING 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.

• 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.

The food isn’t done after cooking the amount of time recommended in my recipe. My meal was overcooked. Why? PROBABLE CAUSE

• 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?

• 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.

• 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.
