Tips for Slow Cooking
• The crock 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 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 crock, cover with lid, and refrigerate
overnight. In the morning, simply place crock 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 crock.
• If cooking a recipe with root vegetables, place root vegetables in
the bottom of the crock.
Food Safety Tips
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any
meat or poultry before slow cooking.
• To store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place the entire crock 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 crock, it should be
cooked immediately (unless prepping slow cooker the night before,
where crock should be placed into the refrigerator).

PROBLEM
Food is undercooked.
The food isn’t done after
cooking the amount of time
recommended in my recipe.
My meal was overcooked.
Why?
Lid gasket collapsed.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Was food cooked on the Warm setting? Do not cook on Warm; always cook on Low or High heat
settings.
• Was power interrupted?
• Did you select the Low heat setting, but use a cooking time based on the High heat setting?
• Did you have the lid placed correctly on the slow cooker?
• This can be due to voltage variations (which are commonplace everywhere) or altitude. The slight
fluctuations in power do not have a noticeable effect on most appliances. However, it can alter the
cooking times in the slow cooker by extending the cooking times. Allow sufficient time and select the
appropriate heat setting. You will learn through experience if a shorter or longer time is needed.
• Was the crock at least half full? The slow cooker has been designed to thoroughly cook food in a filled
crock. If the crock is only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe states.
• Did you select correct number of hours based on cooking temperature (Low or High)?
• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached.
• To help maintain shape of gasket, do not cook with clip latched and do not store empty unit with
clip latched.

如何使用您的慢炖锅
警告 食品安全危害：
在使用保温档时，
食物应当彻底热透以防细菌滋生。只有在食材被彻底烹饪后方
能使用保温档。请勿使用保温档再次加热食物。如果食物已经
被煮熟或者冷藏过，请用高／低两档重新加热后再使用保温档。
第一次使用前： 请用热肥皂水清洗内胆，清洗后弄干。
为补偿气孔散失的热量，功率已作
调整。
接通电源后，将旋钮拧至高（ＨＩＧＨ）
档或者低（ＬＯＷ）档进行烹饪。请勿
使用保温（ＫＥＥＰ ＷＡＲＭ）档烹饪。
玻璃盖应当紧密扣合在内胆上，以实现均匀加热和减少热量散失。在烹
饪过程中盖子可以用扳扣扣紧。
＊ 烹饪时间：
高（ＨＩＧＨ）档：６小时左右。
低（ＬＯＷ）档：１２小时左右。

妥善放置及清理
警告 电击危险。
在清理前请断开电源。请勿将电源线、插头或底座浸入任何液体中。
用隔热手套取出内胆并让其自然冷
却。
内胆和玻璃盖可机洗
在洗碗机中清洗内胆时，请勿使用
＂ＳＡＮＩ＂档，此档位的循环温度可能
会损坏本产品。
大多数塑料容器都会残留食物的气
味，为防止此种情形出现，请在每
次使用后用热肥皂水清洗玻璃盖橡
胶垫圈，并在存放慢炖锅时将玻璃
盖半开。
玻璃盖和内胆可在热肥皂水中清洗。

.
慢炖贴士
＊ 内胆中至少要装满一半食物方能达到最佳烹饪效果。当内胆中只装
满一半时，请按照食谱时间提前１至２小时检查食物煮熟程度。
＊ 慢炖食物时不需要搅拌，打开玻璃盖会造成大量热量损失，因此可
能会导致烹饪时间加长。尽管如此，当在高（Ｈｉｇｈ）档烹饪时，可以
适当偶尔搅拌食物。
＊ 在烹饪汤或者炖菜时，请在内胆顶部与食材之间留出５厘米的空间
以便能够徐沸食材。
＊ 许多食谱需要烹饪一整天。如果你早上无瑕准备食谱，可在前夜准
备。将所有食材放入内胆盖上盖子整夜冷藏，第二天早上只需将内
胆放入慢炖锅中烹饪即可。
＊ 有些食物不适宜在慢炖锅中长时间烹饪。意大利面、海鲜、牛奶、
奶油或者酸奶油应在上菜前２小时加入慢炖锅。脱水牛奶或者浓缩
汤最适合慢炖锅烹饪。
＊ 肉类的脂肪含量越高，慢炖时需要的水越少。若慢炖的肉脂肪含量
很高，可在底部放些厚洋葱片，这样可防止油煎。
＊ 慢炖锅基本没有蒸发效果。若烹饪汤、炖菜或酱类食物，可根据原
始食谱规定的液量稍作减少。若液量较大，可稍后添加。
＊ 若烹饪蔬菜类砂锅，食谱中应包含液体以避免内胆侧烧焦食材。
＊ 若食材内包含根茎类蔬菜，请将其放在内胆底部。
食物安全提示
＊ 请勿在慢炖锅中放入冷冻或未煮过的肉。任何肉类和禽类都需在慢
炖前解冻。
＊ 为在烹饪结束后保存剩菜，请不要将整个内胆直接放入冰箱，否则
内胆需要很长时间才能冷却。请将剩菜分开放入小的容器后再放入
冰箱冷藏。
＊ 请勿将未经烹饪的原材料肉类在室温下放在内胆中存放。肉类在放
入内胆后应当立即开始烹饪（除非在前夜为准备第二天的慢炖用，
而将食材放入内胆中并放进冰箱冷藏）。
16

故障排除
故障现象 可能原因
炖出的食物半生不熟。 ＊ 是不是保温档炖的食物？请勿使用保温档烹饪，只用高温或低温档烹饪。
＊ 电源是否中断过？
＊ 您是不是选择了低温档，但是按照高温档设定的时间烹饪的？
＊ 玻璃盖是否正确盖在慢炖锅上？
用菜谱建议的烹饪时间
没有炖好食物。 ＊ 可能因电压不稳（在各地都常见）或海拔的缘故。此类电源起伏变化对大多数电器影响并不显著。然而，
此种现象会影响慢炖锅的烹饪时间。低于额定的电压将需要更长时间来烹饪，反之高于额定电压则需
时较短。具体请根据您的实际使用经验调整。
为什么食物会煮过头？ ＊ 内胆是否至少半满？此慢炖锅设计用于彻底煮熟满锅食物。若内胆中半满，请将食谱时间提前１至２
＊ 根据烹饪温度（高温或低温）您是否正确选择了烹饪时间？
＊ 达到需求温度后，食物温度仍然会持续上升。
小时检查食物煮熟程度。
玻璃盖垫圈变形 ＊ 此种情形有可能因突然的温度改变而引起，如灼热玻璃盖突遇冷水。请将玻璃盖放置于室温下。
＊ 为保持垫圈的形状不变，请勿在烹饪时扣上玻璃盖扣具，而且请勿在慢炖锅空置时扣上扣具。
垫圈将在２４小时内恢复原状。
以上内容如有改动，恕不预先通知。
