Cooking Modes
No matter what you plan to cook, the Set ‘N Forget®Slow Cooker
has three cooking modes to make it easy. Here’s how to choose
the one that’s right for your lifestyle and the food you’re cooking.
Will you be away when your food is finished cooking?
Use PROGRAM Mode. Input preferred amount of cooking time
and the slow cooker automatically shifts to Warm at the end of
the selected cooking time. Food won’t overcook!
Do you want to cook the traditional way without setting a time?
— OR —
Do you want to heat previously cooked food?
Use MANUAL Mode. Lets you select traditional High or Low settings.
Areyoucookingalargecutofmeatorusingarecipethatrequiresfood
to reach a certain temperature?
Use PROBE Mode. For many foods, especially large cuts of meat
like roasts, chicken, turkey and pork, internal food temperature is
the best test for doneness. The temperature probe with this
slow cooker takes the guesswork out of slow cooking. Select the
desired internal food temperature and the slow cooker will
automatically shift to Warm once the temperature is reached.
By using the Cooking Guide for Probe chart, you can estimate
the amount of time the food will need to cook.
Visit foodsafety.gov for more information about cooking times
and proper internal temperature settings.
Do you want to keep previously cooked food warm?
(For instance, moving slow cooker from kitchen to buffet table.)
Use the PROBE Mode. Once food reaches desired temperature,
you can select the Warm setting to monitor food temperature.
Use the MANUAL Mode. Lets you select Warm setting.
Use the PROGRAM Mode. Lets you select Warm setting.
The slow cooker will shut off after desired time.
