•

  Fresh or thawed fish and seafood fall apart during long hours of cooking. Add these ingredients an hour 

before serving. 

•

  Because milk, sour cream and natural cheese break down during long hours of cooking, add these 

ingredients just before serving or substitute with undiluted condensed creamed canned soups or 
evaporated milk. Processed cheese tends  
to give better results than naturally aged cheese. 
 

•

  Rice and pasta may either be cooked separately or added uncooked during the last hour of cooking time. 

If added uncooked, make sure there are at least 2 cups of liquid in the cooking pot. Stir occasionally to 
prevent pieces from sticking together. 

•

  An extra hour of cooking won’t ruin the recipe, so don’t worry if you get home late. Dinner will be 

waiting for you. 

•

  To thicken juices for gravies, stews or sauces, add 3 to 3 tablespoons of quick-cooking tapioca before 

cooking or thicken after cooking by adding a smooth paste made of 2 to 4 tablespoons cornstarch or 
flower and ¼ cup cold water. Set heat control at HI setting and stir until liquid thickens. 

•

  Cooked foods can be kept warm for serving at the Keep Warm setting.

. Allow stoneware-cooking pot to cool before cleaning.  

 
2. Wash cooking pot and cover in warm soapy water with a dishcloth or sponge, rinse and dry. If necessary, a non-
abrasive scouring cleanser such as Bon-Ami® may be used to remove stains. Do not use any abrasive metal 
scouring pads or cleansers on stoneware pot or cover as damage may occur.

Stoneware cooking pot and cover may be cleaned in automatic dishwasher. Position into 

rack so these pieces do not touch one another or other items being cleaned to prevent damage. 

 
Special Cleaning

: If staining of the cooking pot occurs, use a non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon-Ami® or a paste 

of baking soda applied with a soft cloth. To remove water spots or mineral deposits, wipe the cooking pot with white 
distilled vinegar or pour a small amount into pot to let soak. After cleaning, wash pot in warm soapy water, rinse and 
dry. If pot has a non-stick interior, recondition coating by wiping with 1 to 2 teaspoons cooking oil before using.
