Introduction to Programmable Slow Cooking
Finally! A one pot solution to slow cooking
• Brown, sear, slow cook, serve and travel in one easy-to-clean, dishwasher safe aluminum pot.
• Remove the aluminum pot from the slow cooker body and sear meats on the stovetop!
• The 6.5 quart aluminum pot offers a large ceramic coated cooking surface area to caramelize all surfaces
of the meat. It is ideal for cooking family size meals and large cuts of meat.
• Take the guesswork out of slow cooking! Built in programs for beef, pork, poultry and soup/stew offer
auto-programmed cooking times and temperatures.
• Slow cook food safely on LOW all day or night, up to 20 hours; your Programmable Slow Cooker
automatically shifts to WARM for 4 hours before shutting itself OFF.
• An illuminated, blue back-lit digital display ensures easy viewing of the cooking temperature and
remaining cook time.
• The front and back locked lid seals tightly for spill-proof travel.

Operating Instructions
IMPORTANT: The programmable Slow Cooker can be programmed in half hour (30 minutes) increments from
00:30 (30 minutes) to 20:00 (20 hours). Press the TIME button followed by the UP or DOWN arrows to adjust
target cook time at any time while the Slow Cooker is cooking.
Add depth of avor and rich color to your slow cooked dishes by browning and searing your food in the
aluminum pot before slow cooking.
For best results: Remove meat from the refrigerator and set it out at room temperature for at least 20 minutes
before searing.
Browning & Searing in the Aluminum Pot
1. For a avorful, seared crust, generously season meat or poultry with your favorite spice rub
before searing.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable or peanut oil to the aluminum pot. (Do not use butter or olive oil as they
tend to burn at high temperatures.)
NOTE: The amount of additional fat needed depends on the fattiness in the meat.
3. Press the lid lock button and lift the lid. Remove the aluminum pot from the slow cooker body, and place it
directly on the stovetop.
4. Turn burner heat to HIGH.
5. When the oil is shimmering hot, add meats to the aluminum pot, fat-side down; place poultry pieces
skin-side down. Sear meat for a few minutes until brown, then turn food until all surfaces are browned.
WARNING: Use caution while searing. Use protective oven mitts. Keep hands and face away from the
aluminum pan’s opening. Avoid contact with hot oil as it may sputter and spit.
CAUTION: Use protective oven mitts when removing aluminum pot from stovetop to bring back to slow
cooker body.
6. After all food is browned, it may be necessary to de-fat the cooking liquid. Use a slice of bread, a spoon,
or a straining spoon to skim off excess fat prior to slow cooking.
For best results, always add recipe cooking liquid to the aluminum pot rst. To ensure a avorful cooking
liquid and to prevent future burning, use a plastic or wood spoon to loosen browned avorful bits and
deglaze the aluminum pot.
WARNING: To avoid scratching the non-stick ceramic coating, never use sharp utensils when stirring foods
in the aluminum pot.
7. Prepare ingredients according to recipe instructions. Place food into the aluminum pot. DO NOT FILL
THE POT TO THE TOP WITH FOOD. For best results, the aluminum pot should be at least half-lled.
When cooking soups or stews, allow a 2-inch space between the food and the top of the cooking pot, so
ingredients can come to a simmer.

NOTE: When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in the bottom of the
aluminum pot rst. Then add the browned meat and other ingredients.
NOTE: When cooking on HIGH, check cooking progress, as some recipes may come to boil and may
require additional water.
8. Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking delays the slow cooking time.
Using Auto-Program
Most recipes can be prepared effortlessly using the preset times. However, keep in mind that factors such
as size/quantity of the meat, specic cut, meat on the bone versus boneless, may cause actual cook times to
vary. Leaner meats such as boneless-skinless chicken or pork tenderloin, or meat cut into smaller chunks, may
require less cook time than tougher meats such as beef chuck or pork shoulder. Your Programmable Slow
Cooker allows you the exibility to easily adjust times as you cook.
1. The chart below: Auto-Program Foods, Temps, & Times, lists all auto-programmed foods, temperatures
and corresponding default cooking times.

Hints for Slow Cooking
• Less tender, cheaper cuts of meat are better candidates for slow cooking than more expensive varieties.
• Always brown fatty meats to reduce the amount of fat and to help preserve color while adding rich avor.
Remove the aluminum pot from the slow cooker body and place directly onto the stovetop. Heat a small
amount of oil in the aluminum pot and brown meats over high heat. Use a slice of bread, a spoon, or a
straining spoon to skim off excess fat prior to slow cooking.
• Whole herbs and spices avor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.
• When cooking in a Slow Cooker, remember that liquids do not boil away like they do in conventional
cooking. Reduce the amount of liquid in any recipe that is not designed for a Slow Cooker. The exceptions
to this rule would be rice and soups. Remember, liquids can always be added at a later time if necessary.
• If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the aluminum pot from the
slow cooker body. Skim any excess fat and boil the sauce on the stovetop until it thickens and the desired
consistency is achieved.
• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole such as
roast or poultry.
• Always use a meat thermometer to determine if meats have been cooked to proper temperature.
• Root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips and beets require longer cooking time than many
meats. Place them on the bottom of the Slow Cooker and cover with liquid. Check to see they are fork-
tender when meat temperature is reached. Remove meat and continue cooking vegetables if necessary.
• Add fresh dairy products (milk, sour cream or yogurt) prior to serving. Evaporated milk or condensed
creamed soups may be added at the start of cooking.
• Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods. Cook and serve separately or add
to the Slow Cooker during the nal 30 minutes of cooking.
