General Tips:
• The stoneware pot should always be filled from ½ to 3⁄ 4 full, to avoid over and
under cooking .
- When only half full, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours before recommended
cooking time .
-To avoid spillovers, do not fill slow cooker more than 3⁄ 4 full .
• Always slow cook with the lid on .
- Do not open lid during first 2 hours of cooking; this allows heat to rise efficiently .
- Open the lid as little as possible to assure even cooking . Every time the lid is
removed, the cooking time increases by 15–20 minutes .
• Most recipes can be cooked on either HIGH or LOW . Many recipes will give the
time for both .
- Low: Often used for longer cooking times, 8–10 hours, or less tender cuts
of meat .
