Introduction No more dry, mushy slow-cooked meals. The IntelliTime™ slow cooker automatically adjusts the heat to prevent overcooking. Most slow cooker recipes call for a 6- to 8-hour cook time, but many working families are out of the house for 10 or more hours a day. With the IntelliTime slow cooker, food is finished precisely when you want, even up to 12 hours later. The IntelliTime slow cooker has two modes of cooking-IntelliTime mode and Manual mode. The IntelliTime mode ramps heat up quickly or slowly based on the number of hours you want to cook, from 4 hours to 12 hours. When the cooking time has ended, it shifts to WARM for 4 hours. It is ideal for cooking large meats, meat and vegetable combinations, or long-cooking soups and stews. The Manual mode is the traditional way of slow cooking with heat settings of WARM, LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH. Choose the Manual mode for foods with cooking times of less than 4 hours or recipes such as desserts and egg dishes. How to Use IntelliTime Mode INTELLITIME: Choose cooking time from 4 hours to 12 hours in 30-minute increments. In this mode, the slow cooker automatically adjusts the heat to the hours selected. Examples of Common IntelliTime Settings Choose your starting time in the left column. Look across the top to choose a serve time. Your IntelliTime setting is the number of hours at the point where the two intersect.
