Your mini warming pot is ideal for heating dips and sauces or melting butter and  
chocolate. 
NOTE: This unit is not for use with uncooked meats. Ensure food is fully cooked  
before placing it in the mini warming pot. This unit is recommended for warming or  
melting gravies, sauces, dips and fondues. We do not recommend cooking in this  
unit.  

• 

Place the mini warming pot on a flat, dry, level surface such as a table or 
countertop. 

• 

Prepare your food according to the directions in your recipe. 

• 

Place food to be heated into the stoneware crock and cover with the plastic lid.   

• 

Plug in your mini warming pot. Your mini warming pot is ON when plugged in 
and OFF when unplugged. 

• 

During heating, occasionally stir the contents. Do not use your mini warming pot 
for longer than 2 consecutive hours. Stir the contents often to ensure even 
heating. 

• 

When your sauce, fondue, gravy, etc. is ready, unplug the mini warming pot if 
removing the food, or leave it plugged in to serve directly from the mini warming 
pot. 

• 

When you are finished using your mini warming pot, be sure to unplug it. 

• 

Allow the mini warming pot to cool completely before washing.   

 

1.  Allow the entire unit (heating base, ceramic cooking vessel and cover) to cool 

before cleaning. Set ceramic cooking vessel and cover on dry, heat-protective 
surface for gradual cooling. Do not run cold water over hot ceramic cooking 
vessel or cover, as they may crack if cooled suddenly. 

2.  Wipe the heating base and cord with a damp cloth after it has been unplugged 

and the base is cool. 

3.  Ceramic cooking vessel and cover may be washed using warm soapy water by 

hand or cleaned in the dishwasher. Avoid contact between pieces to prevent 
damage. 

4.  Use a non-abrasive cleanser or baking soda paste to remove stains. Do not use 

metal scouring pads or cleansers. Wipe with distilled vinegar to remove water 
spots or mineral deposits. Rewash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. 

• 

Stir foods occasionally to reduce sticking to sides of ceramic cooking vessel. 

• 

Use only plastic, rubber, wooden or non-metal cooking tools with ceramic 
cooking vessel. Use of metal cooking tools may scratch the ceramic cooking 
vessel. 

• 

Foods will be brought to a simmer at all cooking settings. The setting determines 
the time needed to reach a simmer. 

• 

If the ceramic cooking vessel is filled less then half full, suggested cooking times 
should be reduced. 

• 

Less tender, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited to slow cooking than 
expensive cuts of meat. Remove excess fat from meat when possible before 
slow cooking. Remove skin from poultry, if desired, before cooking.
