Before using for the first time, wash the cover and the ceramic pot in hot,
soapy water.
3 1/2
3
quarts apple cider
cinnamon sticks
•
•
•
•
Do not immerse metal housing in water or any other liquid.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Plug cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.
Always cook with the cover on and the ceramic pot in position. Remember that
frequent lifting of the cover delays the cooking time.
When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the meat in the
bottom of the ceramic pot.
Unplug the slow cooker when cooking is complete. Before cleaning, allow
to cool completely.
4.5 oz. orange flavored gelatin
4.5 oz. cranberry flavored gelatin

Mix together the apple cider and cinnamon sticks in the Slow cooker. Heat on
High for 3 hours. Stir in cranberry & orange flavored gelatin. Keep on High 1 more
hour and allow gelatin to dissolve. Turn to Low to keep warm. Serve directly from
the Slow cooker。
•
•
The ceramic pot cannot withstand the shock of sudden temperature
changes.
Do not use frozen meat or poultry in a slow cooker. Thaw any meat or
poultry before slow cooking..
Hot Cheese Dip
Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter
•
2
1
1
stalks celery, thinly sliced
medium onion, chopped
4 oz can sliced mushrooms, drained
CAUTION: Be careful when adding additional liquids to ceramic pot -
Never add cold liquids as this might cause the ceramic pot to
crack. Always warm the liquids before adding.
3 Tbsp flour
1
1
1
10 1/2 oz can cream of celery soup
5 to 6 oz garlic cheese roll, cut up
10 oz package chopped broccoli
Setting the Temperature
Directions:
In a small skillet, melt the butter and saute the celery, onion and mushrooms. Stir
in the flour. Turn into a lightly greased slow cooker; stir in remaining ingredients.
Cover; cook on High, stirring about every 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Turn to Low for about 2 to 4 hours or until ready to serve. Serve with corn chips,
cauliflower, broccoli, carrot strips, celery and radishes.
The slow cooker has been developed with a wrap-around side element concealed in
the unit. This element provides the low, even temperature that makes lengthy
cooking times possible. As a result of the wrap-around element, food will not stick to
the base of the ceramic pot despite the long cooking time and the need to stir food is
almost unnecessary. As food cooks just below boiling point, very little steam is given
off and there is next to no evaporation, all of which provides flavorful, tender and
moist results, even with budget cuts of meat.
Spinach Artichoke Dip
LOW: The low heat setting gently simmers food for an extended period of time
without overcooking or burning. No stirring is required when using this setting. Ideal
for vegetable dishes and re-heating.
Ingredients:
1
8 oz. packages of softened cream cheese
1/4 cup light cream
HI: The high heat setting is used when baking or cooking dried beans and will cook
food in half the time required for the low setting. as food will boil when cooked on the
high setting. Occasional stirring of stews and casseroles will improve the flavor
distribution, food should be monitored when using the high setting, just like cooking in
a pot with the lid on.

8 oz. box frozen cut leaf spinach, thawed and well drained

garlic powder until smooth and creamy. Add the spinach and process until
thoroughly mixed. Add the artichokes and process until coarsely chopped. Spoon

Guide to Slow Cooking
Tips for Slow Cooking
Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook. It is almost impossible to
overcook food in the slow cooker, particularly when using the low or keep warm
settings. Most of the recipes contained within this book can be cooked on any
one of the temperature settings, however the cooking times will vary
accordingly. Each recipe in this book will give specific instructions indicating the
appropriate temperature setting as well as the suggested cooking times to use.
•
The cover of the slow cooker does not form a tight fit on the ceramic pot
but should be centered on the ceramic pot for best results. Do not
remove the glass cover unnecessarily - this will result in major heat
loss. Do not cook without the glass cover in place.
Stirring is not necessary when using a slow cooker. However, if cooking
on high, you may want to stir occasionally.
Slow cooking retains most of the moisture in foods. If a recipe results in
too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove glass cover, turn
the control knob to high, and reduce the liquid by simmering. This will
take 30-45 minutes.
The slow cooker should be at least half-filled for best results.
If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch space between the top of the
ceramic pot and the food so that the recipe can come to a simmer.
Many recipes call for cooking all day. You can also prepare the recipe the
night before by placing all ingredients in the ceramic pot, cover and
refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place the ceramic pot in the
slow cooker and select the temperature setting.
Meat & Poultry require at least 7 to 8 hours on LOW. Do not use frozen
meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.
Trim all visible fat from meat or poultry.
Cook dried beans 1-2 hours on high setting, then add remaining
ingredients, cook on low for the remaining time.
When cooking curries and casseroles, richer, more intensive flavors will
develop when the first stage is prepared by traditional methods, i.e. brown
the onions, meat and spices first in a non-stick pan.
•
•
Adapting Cooking Times
Your favorite traditional recipes can be adapted easily by halving the amount of
liquid and increasing the cooking time considerably. See the guide below for
suggested cooking times and settings when adjusting your favorite recipes.
•
•
Traditional Recipe Time
15-30 minutes
Slow Cooker Recipe Time
4-6 hours on LOW
•
60 minutes
1-3 hours
6-8 hours on LOW
8-12 hours on LOW
•
Note: These times are approximate. Times can vary depending on ingredients
and quantities in recipes.
•
•
All food should be cooked with the glass lid in place. Each time the lid is lifted,
both the heat and moisture in the food are lost. Cooking times should thus be
extended by approximately 30 minutes.
•
Liquid Amounts
When food is cooking in your slow cooker, very little moisture boils away. To
compensate this, it is advisable to halve the liquid content of traditional recipes.
However, if after cooking, the liquid content is excessive, remove the lid and
operate the slow cooker on the high setting for 30-45 minutes or until the liquid
reduces by the desirable amount.
DO’s
•
•
•
Handle the ceramic pot and glass lid with care.
Use oven mitts when lifting the ceramic pot containing hot foods.
Avoid extreme temperature changes in the ceramic pot or glass lid. For
example, do not place into or under cold water while still hot.
Stirring Food
Little or no stirring is required when using the low or keep warm setting. when
using the high setting, stirring ensures even flavor distribution.
DO NOT’s
•
•
•
•
•
Use the ceramic pot if chipped or cracked.
Operate the slow cooker without the ceramic pot in place.
Place the hot ceramic pot onto a wet surface.
Use frozen meats or foods in slow cooker. Always defrost them first.
Place the glass lid in oven or microwave.
