Using the Temperature Dial The slow cooker has been developed with a wrap-around side element concealed in the unit. This element provides low, even temperatures giving a longer cooking time. This method of cooking ensures the food does not stick to the base of the ceramic pot. As the food cooks just below boiling point, very little steam escapes, which gives the food tender and moist results. Low Setting The low heat setting simmers food for a longer period of time without over cooking or burning. No stirring is required when using this setting, which is ideal for vegetable dishes and re-heating. High Setting The high setting is used when baking or cooking food (in half the time of the low setting). As food may boil when cooked on the high heat setting, it may be necessary to add extra liquid depending on the recipe and the amount of time in which it is being cooked. Occasional stirring of stews and casseroles will improve the distribution of flavors. Note: Food should be monitored when using the high heat setting. Warm Setting The warm setting is recommended for keeping cooked food at the perfect temperature until ready to serve. This setting should not be used to cook food.
