Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.

Beans must be pre-cooked for 10 minutes to remove toxins.

Since the slow cooking method does not break down liquids, you can reduce
the amount of liquid, if necessary, by removing the lid and keeping the unit
running in the meantime.
•
Typically, add 10 minutes to the targeted cooking time for each removal of the
lid during cooking.
•
Should you be preparing soups, fill the pot to no more than 5 inches below the
rim.
•
Some ingredients - such as pasta, seafood, milk and cream - are not suitable
for slow cooking and should be added at the beginning of a cooking process.
•
The cooking results of individual foods depend on different variables •
as temperature, weight, and fat and water content.
•
Foods that require longer cooking times should be placed in the lower part of
the slow cooker than foods that require shorter cooking times.
•
When you turn off the appliance, there will be enough heat inside to keep the
food warm for 30 minutes. If a longer keep warm time is required, turn on the
lower heat setting.
