Double Dish™Slow Cooker
840086500 Ev04 6/22/01 4:29 PM Page 1

This product is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not
use a high wattage appliance on the same
circuit with the slow cooker.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Slow Cooker Safety
When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be
observed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock do not
immerse cord, plug, or base in water or
other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our
toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or
adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause fire, electric
shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter, or touch hot surfaces,
including stove.
10. Do not place on or near hot gas or an
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when
using an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect slow cooker, turn control
knob to Off; remove plug from outlet.
13. Caution: To prevent damage or shock
hazard do not cook in base. Cook only
in removable liner.
14. Avoid sudden temperature changes,
such as adding refrigerated foods into
a heated crock.
15. Do not operate appliance in any way
other than intended use.
Consumer Safety Information
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance was selected to reduce the hazards
of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating
of the slow cooker. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children or acciden-
tally tripped over.
Do not cook in the Double Dish Bowls
unless water is in the crock.
Do not use the slow cooker with only half
of the Double Dish; both must be used.

Crock Capacity
How much does your
slow cooker hold?
The capacity of your slow cooker
refers to the amount the crock can
hold if it is filled to the rim. However,
we DO NOT recommend filling to the
rim. As a rule, you should select
recipes that yield 1 quart less than
the listed capacity of your crock.
For example, if your slow cooker is
labeled as a 6-quart slow cooker,
your best results will be achieved
using recipes that yield 5 quarts or
less.
The Control Knob on the slow cooker
offers Low and High temperature
settings for cooking. The Keep Warm
setting is for holding the prepared
recipe at a perfect serving temperature.
The Keep Warm setting should only
be used after a recipe has been thor-
oughly cooked. Food should not be
reheated on the Keep Warm setting. If
food has been cooked and then refrig-
erated it must be reheated on Low or
High, then switched to Keep Warm.
Control Knob and Temperature Settings
CAUTION: The Keep Warm setting should only be used after completely cooking
the recipe according to the instructions. The food must be hot enough to prevent
bacterial growth before using the Keep Warm setting. Do not use the Keep Warm
setting to reheat any food that has been refrigerated or frozen.

Basic Cooking Chart/Hours Required
When removing the cover, tilt so that
the opening faces away from you to
avoid being burned by steam.
The sides of the base of the slow
cooker get very warm because
the heating elements are located
here. Use the handles on the base
if necessary. Use oven mitts to remove
the bowls and the crock.
Removing Cover, Bowls, and Crock
The Double Dish Bowls offer two different cooking methods: the conventional
slow cook method or the faster, “bowls in the crock” method, as well as letting
you cook two different recipes at the same time
Using the Double Dish Bowls with water in the crock works like a conventional
slow cooker. However, cooking with the Double Dish Bowls in the base is very
different. This is a much faster cooking method and nothing like the conventional
slow cooker. This faster method should be used when time is a factor or with
recipes such as soups or stews.

To Use the Double Dish Bowls in the Base
Before First Use: Wash bowls in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
1. Prepare recipe according to
instructions. Place food in bowls.
2. Place both bowls into the slow
cooker base. Cover and set control
knob to desired setting.
3. When done, turn control knob to
Off and unplug slow cooker. Using
oven mitts, carefully remove the
cover and then the bowls.
4. Remove the food from the bowls.
Let the cover cool slightly before
washing.
NOTE: When using the bowls in the
crock, water must be used in the
crock. Otherwise the crock may
overheat and crack.
1. Pour one quart of water into the
crock. Prepare recipe according to
instructions. Place food in the
bowls.
2. Place both bowls into crock. Cover
and set the control knob to desired
setting.
3. When done, turn control knob to
Off and unplug slow cooker. Using
over mitts, carefully remove the
cover and then the bowls.
4. Remove food from the bowls. Let
the crock and cover cool slightly
before washing.
To Use the Double Dish Bowls in the Crock
Before First Use: Wash bowls in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.

• The cover of the slow cooker does
not form a tight fit on the crock but
should be centered on the crock for
best results. Do not remove the
cover unnecessarily—this results in
major heat loss. Do not cook without
cover in place.
• Stirring is not necessary when slow
cooking. 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 the cover, turn
the control knob to High, and reduce
the liquid by simmering. This will take
30 to 45 minutes.
Tips for Slow Cooking
• 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
crock 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 the crock, cover and refrigerate
overnight. In the morning, simply
place crock in the slow cooker and
select the temperature setting.
• Meat and 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.
You are probably ready to develop new
recipes for use in your slow cooker. If
the recipe was originally cooked in a
saucepan on the stovetop, or slow
roasted in the oven, adapting the recipe
should be easy.
If You’ve Used a Slow Cooker Before
Cooking in a slow cooker is easy but
different from conventional methods.
Take a few minutes and read “How to
Use” and “Tips for Slow Cooking.”
You’ll soon be convinced that a slow
cooker is a necessity. There are also
many slow cooker recipe books avail-
able in the library or book store. If you
have any questions, call our toll-free
customer service number. We’ll be glad
to help.
Our slow cooker heats from the sides.
The base slowly raises the temperature
of the crock. Whether cooked on Low
or High, the final temperature of the
food is the same, about 200°F. The
only difference is the amount of time
the cooking process takes.
If You’ve NEVER Used a Slow Cooker

• Please handle the crock and cover
carefully to ensure long life.
• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature
changes. For example, do not place a
hot cover or crock into cold water, or
onto a wet surface.
• Avoid hitting the crock and cover
against the faucet or other hard
surfaces.
• Do not use crock or cover if chipped,
cracked, or severely scratched.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or
metal scouring pads.
Adapting Recipes
Some ingredients are not suited for
extended cooking in the slow cooker.
Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour
cream should be added 2 hours before
serving. Evaporated milk or condensed
soups are perfect for the slow cooker.
Many things can affect how quickly a
recipe will cook. The water and fat
content of a food, the temperature of
the food, and the size of the food will
all affect the cooking time. Food cut
into pieces will cook faster than whole
roasts or poultry.
Most meat and vegetable combinations
require at least 7 hours on Low.
The higher the fat content of the meat,
the less liquid is needed. If cooking
meat with a high fat content, place
thick onion slices underneath, so the
meat will not sit and cook in the fat.
Some recipes call for browning the
meat before slow cooking. This is only
to remove excess fat or for color; it is
not necessary for successful cooking.
Slow cookers have very little evapora-
tion. If making your favorite soup, stew,
or sauce, reduce the liquid or water
called for in the original recipe. If too
thick, liquids 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 the crock.
Cleaning
1. Turn the control knob to Off. Unplug
cord from outlet.
2. Remove bowls, crock and cover from
base and let cool.
3. Wash the bowls, crock and cover in
hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. The
bowls, crock and cover may also be
washed in the dishwasher.
4. Wipe the base with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, do not immerse
base in water.
Crock and Glass Cover Precautions and
Information
• The bottom of the crock is very rough
and can damage the countertop. Use
caution.
• The crock and the cover can become
very hot. Use caution. Do not place
directly on any unprotected surface or
countertop.
• The crock is microwave safe and
oven proof, but never heat the crock
when empty. Never place the crock
on a burner or stove top. Do not place
the cover in a microwave oven,
conventional oven, or on the stove top.

Optional Features on Selected Models
The Lid Latch secures the cover while moving,
transporting, or storing the slow cooker. To use
Lid Latch, place the white band into the groove
located under one of the handles. Stretch the
band to the other side of the slow cooker and
secure it in the groove under the other handle.
Once the band is attached, it can also be crossed
over the knob to further secure the lid.
The Carrying Case can be used when you need
to transport the slow cooker to another location.
First attach the Lid Latch. Secure the electric cord
of the slow cooker with a rubber band or twist tie.
Then set the slow cooker in the Carrying Case with
the cord under the slow cooker. Fit the handles of
the slow cooker through the openings in the case.
Zip the case and use caution when carrying any
hot foods. The Carrying Case can be cleaned by wiping with a damp sponge.
For bigger spills, hand wash the case in cold water and mild detergent.
DO NOT PLUG IN AND TURN ON WHEN THE SLOW COOKER IS STILL IN
THE CARRYING CASE.
The recipes are divided into three different cooking categories:
• Using the traditional crock
• Using the Double Dish bowls with the water in the crock
• Using the Double Dish bowls in the base
NOTES:
• For best results, be sure to note the category because each cooking category
requires different cooking times.
• The traditional crock recipes give two different recipe amounts. One column
of ingredients is for the 5-quart crock and the other column is for the 6 or
7-quart crock.
• The recipe amounts for the Double Dish bowls will work in all sizes of the
Double Dish bowls.
