Using Cooking Tools on Non-Stick Finish: The following types of cooking 
tools may be used on the non-stick finish: plastic, rubber or wooden. Do not use 
sharp edged metal cooking tools (forks, knives, mashers) as these could scratch 
the non-stick finish.  
• 
Using Cooking pot on Top of Range: The cooking pot (without heating base) 
can be used for range top cooking. Place vessel on large range unit. Use 
medium to low heat. The use of low to medium heat will prevent foods from 
overcooking, reduce spattering and help retain natural juices. Do not use high 
heat except for bringing liquids to a boil. If cooking on a gas range, do not let 
flame extend up side of cooking pot.  ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS WHEN 
USING COOKING POT AND COVER ON RANGE UNIT. 
• 
Cooking Meats: When cooking meats, preheat empty cooking pot over medium 
to medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until a drop of water sizzles in cooking 
pot. To prevent sticking of lean meats, you may wish to add a small amount of 
cooking oil. Add meat and brown as desired. Cover cooking pot and reduce heat 
to low for cooking on range top OR transfer cooking pot to heating base and 
cook at desired setting. The shortest cooking time will be at “HI.” 
• 
Using Cooking pot in Oven: The cooking pot (without heating base) can be 
used in a conventional or convection oven up to preheated temperatures of 
350°F/177°C. Cooking pot may be covered with aluminum foil for oven use. 
ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS WHEN USING COOKING POT IN OVEN. 
• 
DO NOT USE THE COOKING POT IN A MICROWAVE OVEN, OVER A 
CAMPFIRE OR UNDER AN OVEN BROILER UNIT TO PREVENT DAMAGE 
TO THE COOKING POT OR OVEN.  
• 
Using a Roasting Rack: Your slow cooker includes a small wire rack for 
roasting meats and poultry. To use the rack, simply place into bottom of cooking 
pot and place roast, chicken, or ham onto rack. Add a small amount of liquid to 
cooking pot before cooking. If you wish, the meat can be browned in cooking pot 
on top of range before roasting. The rack can also be used for steaming fresh 
vegetables such as broccoli and corn-on-the-cob. Add 1 cup of water to cooking 
pot to steam vegetables. Cook on top of range over medium to medium-low heat 
or on heating base at “HI” to desired doneness. 
• 
Bread, Cakes & Desserts: Use an 8 x 4-inch or a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Place the 
roasting rack in the pan before placing the loaf pan. Check to ensure that your 
pan fits completely into the cooking pot before mixing any ingredients.
  To 
prevent condensation from dripping onto food while baking, place double layer 
of paper toweling and single layer of aluminum foil across top of cooking pot. 
Cover and bake according to recipe.
