GLASS LID AND STOVETOP-SAFE COOKWARE: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
• Please handle lid and stovetop-safe cookware carefully
to ensure long life.
• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes to the lid.
For example, do not place a hot lid into cold water or onto
a wet surface.
• Avoid hitting lid against faucet or other hard surfaces.
• Do not use lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
• The stovetop-safe cookware is ovenproof. The lid is not ovenproof.
• Never heat stovetop-safe cookware when empty.
• Never place lid or stovetop-safe cookware in microwave oven or
toaster oven.
• Never place lid directly on a burner or stovetop.
• Never use lid or stovetop-safe cookware under a broiler.
REMOVING GLASS LID AND STOVETOP-SAFE COOKWARE
When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you to avoid
being burned by steam. The lid handles, base, and stovetop-safe cookware, as well as the sides of slow cooker base, all become very warm during cooking.
Always use oven mitts when handling ANY part of the slow cooker
during cooking.
OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This product is intended for household use only.
This product is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and
serving of foods. This product is not intended for use with any
non-food materials or products.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug
fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using
an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance 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 appliance. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.

Tips for Slow Cooking
• The stovetop-safe cookware should be at least half-filled for best
results. If only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier
than recipe time.
• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing glass lid
results in major heat loss and the cooking time may need to be
extended. However, if cooking on HIGH, you may want to stir
occasionally.
• If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5-cm) space between
the top of the stovetop-safe cookware 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 stovetop-safe cookware, cover with lid, and
refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place stovetop-safe
cookware in slow cooker.
• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a slow cooker.
Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2
hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are
perfect for slow cooking.
• The higher the fat content of meat, the less liquid is needed. If
cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices
underneath so meat will not sit on (and cook in) fat.
• Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your
favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in original
recipe. If too thick, liquid 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 stovetop-safe
cookware.
• If cooking a recipe with root vegetables, place root vegetables in
the bottom of the stovetop-safe cookware.
Food Safety Tips
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any
meat or poultry before slow cooking.
• Visit www.foodsafety.gov for more information on safe internal
cooking temperatures.
• To store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place the stovetop-safe
cookware in the refrigerator since contents will take too long to
cool. Instead, divide leftovers into smaller containers and place into
refrigerator.
• Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at room temperature
in the slow cooker. Once meat is placed into the stovetop-safe cook-
ware, it should be cooked immediately (unless prepping slow cooker
the night before, where stovetop-safe cookware should be placed
into the refrigerator).
IF YOU LIVE IN A HIGH-ALTITUDE AREA:
The Extension service will have detailed information about cooking
for your area. To locate the Cooperative Extension service in your
county, please visit: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/. 9
