WARM is for keeping food warm only. DO NOT cook on WARM setting. 2. Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a recipe.

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. HINTS • 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.
Q A “Must the Crock-Pot® slow cooker be covered? Is it necessary to stir?” 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 cover during the first 2 hours when baking breads or cakes. It is not necessary to stir while cooking on LOW heat.
EXCEPTION: milk, sour cream or cream should be added during last hour of cooking.
