Important Safeguards
MyTime_Full book_MECH.indd 1 8/16/12 11:03 AM

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY
BE USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING
SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE
SLOW COOKER. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over
the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some countertop and table surfaces are not
designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain
appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We
recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your slow cooker to
prevent possible damage to the surface.
NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or
odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and
will not recur after a few uses.
NOTE: Please use caution when placing your stoneware on a ceramic or
smooth glass cook top stove, countertop, table, or other surface. Due to
the nature of the stoneware, the rough bottom surface may scratch some
surfaces if caution is not used. Always place protective padding under
stoneware before setting on table or countertop.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not
use that outlet.

Using Your Slow Cooker
MyTime_Full book_MECH.indd 9 8/16/12 11:03 AM

• To avoid over- or under-cooking, always ll the stoneware ½ to ¾ full to
conform to recommended cook times (with the exception of certain cakes
and custards, and as guided otherwise in our slow cooker recipes).
• Do not overll stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not ll stoneware higher
than ¾ full.
• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove
the lid during the first two hours of cooking, to allow the heat to build up
efficiently.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
• Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use
removable stoneware on gas or electric burner or under broiler. Refer to
chart below:
How to Clean
• ALWAYS turn your slow cooker off, unplug it from the electrical outlet,
and allow it to cool before cleaning.
• The lid and stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher or with hot, soapy
water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring pads. A cloth,
sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove residue. To remove water
spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.
• As with any ne ceramic, the stoneware and lid will not withstand sudden
temperature changes. Do not wash the stoneware or lid with cold water
when they are hot.

Using Your Slow Cooker
MyTime_Full book_MECH.indd 11 8/16/12 11:03 AM

MyTimeTM Slow Cooker
1. Recipes with recommended cooking times of less than 4-6 hours should be
prepared in manual mode.
a. Common Examples: Desserts, Dips, and side dishes.
2. Recipes with long cook times (10+ hours) that are shortened to 6 Hours will
be fully cooked, but results in texture could vary.
a. Common Example: Pulled pork recipes normally call for 10+ hours.
If prepared in 6 the pork roast will be fully cooked and ready to eat,
but not ready to be pulled.
3. Battery life expectancy is up to 3 years. The clock uses a UL Recognized
Lithium cell battery type (#CR2025, 3V), and the instruction book section
contains images and instructions on how to change the battery.
Pasta and Rice
• For best rice results, use long grain converted rice or a specialty rice as the
recipe suggests. If the rice is not cooked completely after the suggested time,
add an extra 1 to 1½ cups of liquid per cup of cooked rice and continue
cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.
• For best pasta results, rst partially cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water
until just tender. Add the pasta to your Crock-Pot® slow cooker during the
last 30 minutes of cook time.
Beans
• Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/
or acidic foods. Sugar and acid have a hardening effect on beans and will
prevent softening.
• Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding to
a recipe.
• Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.
Vegetables
• Many vegetables benet from slow cooking and are able to develop their full
flavor. They tend not to overcook in your slow cooker as they might in your
oven or on your stovetop.
12
Hints and Tips
MyTime_Full book_MECH.indd 12 8/16/12 11:03 AM

Vegetables (continued)
• When cooking recipes with vegetables and meat, place vegetables in
slow cooker before meat. Vegetables usually cook slower than meat
in the slow cooker.
• Place vegetables near the sides or bottom of the stoneware to
facilitate cooking.
Herbs and Spices
• Fresh herbs add avor and color, but should be added at the end of the
cooking cycle as the flavor will dissipate over long cook times.
• Ground and/or dried herbs and spices work well in slow cooking and may
be added at the beginning.
• The avor power of all herbs and spices can vary greatly depending on their
particular strength and shelf life. Use herbs sparingly, taste at end of cook
cycle and adjust seasonings just before serving.
Milk
• Milk, cream, and sour cream break down during extended cooking.
When possible, add during the last 15 to 30 minutes of cooking.
• Condensed soups may be substituted for milk and can cook for
extended times.
Soups
• Some soup recipes call for large amounts of water. Add other soup
ingredients to the slow cooker first then add water only to cover.
If thinner soup is desired, add more liquid at serving time.
Meats
• Trim fat, rinse well, and pat meat dry with paper towels.
• Browning meat in a separate skillet or broiler allows fat to be drained off
before slow cooking and also adds greater depth of flavor.
13
Hints and Tips
MyTime_Full book_MECH.indd 13 8/16/12 11:03 AM

Visit the Crock-Pot® slow cooker website at
www.crockpot.com for additional hints, tips and recipes
or call 1-800-323-9519.
Meats (continued)
• Meat should be positioned so that it rests in the stoneware without touching
the lid.
• For smaller or larger cuts of meat, alter the amount of vegetables or potatoes
so that the stoneware is always ½ to ¾ full.
• The size of the meat and the recommended cook times are just estimates
and can vary depending upon the specific cut, type, and bone structure.
Lean meats such as chicken or pork tenderloin tend to cook faster than
meats with more connective tissue and fat such as beef chuck or pork
shoulder. Cooking meat on the bone versus boneless will increase required
cook times.
• Cut meat into smaller pieces when cooking with precooked foods such as
beans or fruit, or light vegetables such as mushrooms, diced onion, eggplant,
or finely minced vegetables. This enables all food to cook at the same rate.
• When cooking frozen meats, at least 1 cup of warm liquid must rst be
added. The liquid will act as a “cushion” to prevent sudden temperature
changes. An additional 4 hours on LOW or 2 hours on HIGH is typically
required. For larger cuts of frozen meat, it may take much longer to defrost
and tenderize.
Fish
• Fish cooks quickly and should be added at the end of the cooking cycle
during last fifteen minutes to hour of cooking.
Liquid
• For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning, always ensure
an adequate amount of liquid is used in the recipe.
• Ensure the stoneware is always lled a minimum of ½ full and a maximum
of ¾ full, and conform to recommended cook times.
