IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or cooking unit in
water or other liquid. CAUTION: Never submerge the heating unit in water or
other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Turn control to “OFF” before unplugging from wall outlet. 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 has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to Rival®
(see warranty) for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Rival®may cause fire,
electrical shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch heated surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids. Always use hot pads when moving your heated Crock-Pot®
slow cooker.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. To disconnect, turn control to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.
14. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated foods into a
heated pot.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Power Unit never
needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this product. Do not immerse base in water or other
liquid. 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 CROCK-POT
®
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.
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.

HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT® SLOW COOKER
1. There are two temperature settings. LOW is recommended for slow ”all-day”
cooking. 1 hour on HIGH equals about 2 to 21⁄2hours on LOW.
2. Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a recipe.
However, do not cook frozen meats (such as roasts or chickens) unless you first add
at least 1 cup of warm liquid. The liquid will act as a “cushion” to prevent sudden
changes in temperature. Cook recipes containing frozen meats an additional 4 to 6
hours on LOW, or 2 hours on HIGH.
3. Always cook with the lid on.
4. Follow recommended cooking times.
5. Do not use slow cooker stoneware for storage of food.
6. Do not reheat foods in your Crock-Pot®slow cooker.
7. Do not set heated unit filled with food on a finished wood table.
8. Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
9. Removable stoneware and glass lid is ovenproof. Do not use removable stoneware
on gas or electric burners or under broiler.
PREPARE AHEAD CONVENIENCE!
Fill bowl and refrigerate. When ready to cook, set in electrical base and turn to LOW or
HIGH. Do not preheat electrical base.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CROCK-POT® SLOW COOKER
Unplug unit. CAUTION: Never submerge heating unit in water or other liquid.
REMOVABLE STONEWARE
• The removable stoneware goes safely into the dishwasher, or may be washed in hot
soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds – a cloth, a sponge or
rubber spatula will usually remove the residue. To remove water spots and other
stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner (such as Bon-Ami®Polishing Cleanser) or vinegar.
• The outside case may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water.
Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CARE OF STONEWARE
As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware bowl will not withstand the shock of sudden
temperature changes.
• If the stoneware has been preheated or is hot to the touch, do not put in cold
foods. Do not preheat Crock-Pot®slow cooker before using unless specified in the
recipe. The stoneware should be at room temperature before adding hot foods.
• To wash your stoneware right after cooking, use hot water. Do not pour in cold
water if the stoneware is hot.

-4-
• Trim fats and wipe meats well to remove residue. (If meats contain fats, brown in a
separate skillet or broiler and drain well before adding to cooker.) Season with salt
and pepper. Place meat in cooker on top of vegetables.
• For roasts and stews, pour liquid over meat. Use no more liquid than specified in
the recipe. More juices in meats and vegetables are retained in slow cooking than in
conventional cooking.
• Most vegetables should be thinly sliced or placed near the sides or bottom of the
stoneware. Meats generally cook faster than most vegetables in a slow cooker.
• Use whole leaf herbs and spices for best and truest flavor for all-day cooking. If
ground herbs and spices are used, they should be stirred in during the last hour of
cooking.
• Because there is no direct heat at the bottom, always fill the stoneware at least half
full to conform to recommended times. Small quantities may be prepared, but
cooking time will be affected.
• A specific liquid called for in a recipe may be varied if an equal quantity is
substituted. (Such as substituting a 103⁄4ounce can of soup plus 4 ounces of water
for a 14 1⁄2ounce can of tomatoes OR 1⁄2cup beef or chicken broth for 1⁄2cup of wine,
etc.)
• Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/or acid foods
(NOTE: 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. Cover the beans with 3 times their volume of unsalted water and bring
to a boil. Boil 10 minutes, reduce heat, cover and allow to simmer 11⁄2hours or until
beans are tender. Soaking in water, if desired, should be completed before boiling.
Discard water after soaking or boiling.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q “What if the food isn’t done after 8 hours…when the recipe says
8 to 10 hours?”
A This is due to voltage variations which are commonplace everywhere; altitude; or
even extreme humidity. The slight fluctuations in power do not have a
noticeable effect on most appliances; however, it can slightly alter the cooking
times. Allow plenty of time, and remember, it is practically impossible to
overcook. You will learn through experience whether to decrease or increase
cooking times.
Q “Must the Crock-Pot®slow cooker be covered? Is it necessary to stir?”
A Cook with the cover on. The slow cooker will not recover heat losses quickly
when cooking on LOW setting. Significant amounts of heat escape whenever
the lid is removed; therefore the cooking time must be extended. Avoid frequent
removal of the cover for checking cooking progress or stirring. Never remove
HINTS

-5-
cover during the first 2 hours when baking breads or cakes.
It is not necessary to stir while cooking on LOW heat. While using HIGH heat for
short periods, occasional stirring improves the distribution of flavors.
Q “How about thickening the juices or making gravy?”
A Add some quick-cooking tapioca to any recipe when you want to make a thick
gravy. Add the tapioca at the beginning and it will thicken as it cooks! Or you
may remove the solid foods, leaving the juices. Prepare a smooth paste of
approximately 1⁄2cup flour or cornstarch to 1⁄2cup water or 4 tablespoons melted
butter. Pour mixture into liquid in stoneware and stir well. Turn to HIGH and
when it comes to a boil (about 15 minutes) it’s ready.
Q “Can I cook a roast without adding water?”
A Yes – if cooked on LOW. We recommend a small amount because the gravies
are especially tasty. The more fat or “marbling” the meat has, the less liquid you
need. The liquid is needed to properly soften and cook vegetables.
GUIDE TO ADAPTING RECIPES
This guide is designed to help you adapt recipes to the Crock-Pot®slow cooker — your
own favorites and prized recipes collected from friends, food companies, newspapers
and magazines. Our aim is to save preparation time with fewer steps and dishes…and
to keep cooking simple. In most cases, all ingredients can go into your slow cooker in
the beginning and can cook all day. Many preparatory steps are unnecessary when
using the Crock-Pot®slow cooker. A few hints:
• Allow sufficient cooking time.
• Cook with cover on.
• Do not add as much water as some recipes indicate.
• Remember — liquids don’t “boil away” as in conventional cooking. Usually you’ll
have more liquid at the end of cooking instead of less.
• It’s “one-step” cooking: many steps in recipes may be deleted. Add ingredients to
the stoneware at one time and cook 8 to 12 hours (add any liquid last).
• Vegetables do not overcook as they do when boiled in your oven or on your range.
Therefore, everything can go into the Crock-Pot®slow cooker at one time.
EXCEPTION: milk, sour cream or cream should be added during last hour of
cooking.
TIME GUIDE
15 to 30 minutes
35 to 45 minutes
50 minutes to 3 hours
4 to 6 hours
6 to 10 hours
8 to 18 hours
11⁄2to 2 hours
3 to 4 hours
4 to 6 hours
IF RECIPE SAYS: COOK ON LOW: OR COOK ON HIGH:

Most uncooked meat and vegetable combinations will require at least 8 hours on LOW.
PASTA AND RICE
If recipe calls for cooking noodles, macaroni, etc., cook on rangetop before adding to
slow cooker. Don’t overcook — just until slightly tender. If cooked rice is called for, stir
in with other ingredients; add 1⁄4cup extra liquid per 1⁄4cup of raw rice. Use long grain
converted rice for best results in all-day cooking.
LIQUIDS
Use less in slow cooking — usually about half the recommended amount. One cup of
liquid is enough for any recipe unless it contains rice or pasta.
SAUTEING VEGETABLES
Generally not necessary! Stir in chopped or sliced vegetables with other ingredients.
ONLY EXCEPTION: eggplant should be parboiled or sauteed, due to strong flavor.
Since vegetables develop their full flavor potential with slow cooking, expect delicious
results even when you reduce quantities. Because vegetables take longer to cook than
meat, slice or chop them when possible.
HERBS AND SPICES
Leaf or whole herbs and spices are preferred, but their flavor power may increase —
use half the recommended amount. If you use ground herbs and spices, add during
last hour of cooking.
MILK
Milk, cream and sour cream tend to break down during extended cooking. When
possible add during last hour of cooking. Condensed soups may be substituted for
milk, etc., and can cook for extended times.
SOUPS
Some soup recipes call for 2 to 3 quarts of water. Add other soup ingredients to
Crock-Pot® slow cooker; then add water only to cover. If thinner soup is desired, add more
liquid at serving time. If milk-based recipes have no other liquid for initial cooking, add 1
or 2 cups water. Then during last hour of cooking, stir in milk or cream as called for.

YOUR OVAL CROCK-POT®SLOW COOKER
The oval Crock-Pot®slow cooker is perfect for so many of your favorite foods. Use the
recipes in this book as a guide, then adapt your favorite recipes or select a variety of
new cuts or dishes to try.
FOR EXAMPLE
• Larger roasts, chickens and hams are perfect. Select boneless roasts or hams
ranging from 3 to 8 pounds. Whole chickens or hens, up to about 7 pounds fit
perfectly.
• Bone-in cuts like ribs, loin cuts, or turkey pieces fit easily. Spare ribs or country-style
ribs, up to 2 (4 to 5 pounds each) slabs easily fit. Bone-in, 4 to 7 pound pork loin
roasts or hams may now be slow-cooked to perfection. Cook turkey legs, thighs
and breasts, up to approximately 7 pounds.

-7-
• No need to cut or stack pieces of meat. The shape is natural for blade or arm pot
roasts, chop or ham steaks.
• If you prefer to select a smaller roast, ranging from 2 to 4 pounds, you can
surround it with plenty of vegetables. Surround pot roast with potatoes and carrots
or cook plenty of cabbage with corned beef.
• Specialty dishes such as stuffed chops or steak rolls, stuffed cabbage leaves, stuffed
peppers, or baked apples can be arranged singled layer so they cook easily and
serve attractively.
Always remember, the size of the meat is just an estimate. The exact weight of a roast
that can be cooked in the oval Crock-Pot®slow cooker will depend on the specific cut,
meat configuration and bone structure. Do not overfill the bowl. Meat should be
positioned so that it rests in the stoneware and does not hold the lid up.
The recipes in this book may be used, as printed, in the 7 to 8 quart oval Crock-Pot®
slow cooker.
