INTRODUCTION
This is our most versatile Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker yet! It can be used as
both a Slow Cooker and a Skillet. The Glass Lid fits both the Slow Cooker
and Skillet, and features a Steam Vent that must be closed when the
Slow Cooker is in use and open when the Skillet is in use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using. Clean all components before use.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles on Base. CAUTION: Outside
of unit is hot during use.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse Cord, plug, or
Temperature Control Probe in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow
to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the
appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged Cord or plug or after
the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
Return appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination,
repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let Cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch heated
surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated
oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquids. Always turn Temperature Control Probe
OFF, unplug AC Cord, disconnect Temperature Control Probe from
-2-

unit and use hot pads when moving your heated Skillet/Slow Cooker.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated
foods into a heated pot or immersing hot unit into cold water.
14. Always attach Temperature Control Probe to appliance first, then
plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn Temperature
Control Probe to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.
15. Place padding under Removable Stoneware before setting on counter
or table.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. Power Unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service
this product. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord.
AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE
MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS
THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE SKILLET/SLOW COOKER. The
extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or
odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and
will not recur after a few uses.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER
• Make sure the Temperature Control Probe is inserted securely into
the Probe Guard.
• Use the settings in the GREEN section to choose your
temperature setting.
• Turn the Temperature Control Dial to either HIGH or LOW. Make
sure the arrow is lined up properly with the setting you have chosen.
• Be sure to turn the probe to OFF when cook time is finished.
1. There are two temperature settings. LOW is recommended for slow
”all-day” cooking. 1 hour on HIGH equals about 2 to 2 1⁄2 hours
on LOW.
2. Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a
recipe. However, do not cook frozen meats (such as roasts or
chickens) unless you first add at least 1 cup of warm liquid. The liquid
will act as a “cushion” to prevent sudden changes in temperature.
Cook recipes containing frozen meats an additional 4 to 6 hours on
LOW, or an additional 2 hours on HIGH.
IMPORTANT! Make sure Steam Vent on Glass Lid is CLOSED when using
slow cooker.
3. Always cook with the Glass Lid on.
CAUTION: Use care when lifting Glass Lid. Hot liquid may build up
along the inside of the metal rim and may dribble out when Glass Lid is
removed.
4. Follow recommended cooking times.
5. Do not reheat foods in your Slow Cooker.
6. Unplug unit when cooking is done and before cleaning.
7. Removable Stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use
Glass Lid in microwave or conventional oven. Do not use Removable
Stoneware on gas or electric burners or under broiler.
8. Never overfill the Removable Stoneware. There should be at least a 1”
space between the top of the Removable Stoneware and the food. For
soups and stews leave at least a 2” space, this will leave sufficient room
for the soup to simmer.

HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET
• Make sure the Temperature Control Probe is inserted securely into
the Probe Guard.
• Use the settings in the BLACK section to choose your
temperature setting.
• Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired
temperature setting.
• Be sure to turn the Temperature Control Dial to OFF when cook
time is finished.
NEVER IMMERSE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE IN WATER
USING YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET
1. Set the Skillet on a flat, dry, heat resistant surface.
2. Set Temperature Control Dial to OFF and plug Temperature Control
Probe into Probe Guard on Skillet. Plug Cord into 120 volt AC outlet.
3. Turn Temperature Control Dial to desired temperature. Use the
settings in the BLACK section to choose your temperature. NOTE:
The cooking temperatures listed in this Owner‘s Guide are estimates.
Adjust the cooking temperature slightly up or down to achieve the
results you prefer.
4. Place food in Skillet and cook according to Temperature Guide or
your favorite recipe. Adjust temperature according to personal
preference and type of food prepared.
5. Use the Glass Lid and close the Steam Vent when a moist-heat
cooking method is desired, as for roasting, braising or steaming.
CAUTION: Use care when lifting Glass Lid. Hot liquid may build up
along the inside of the metal rim and may dribble out when Glass
Lid is removed. When a drier heat is preferred, you may wish to
open the Steam Vent during the last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking.
CAUTION: Escaping steam is hot! To avoid escaping steam, lift Glass
Lid away from you. CAUTION: Skillet is hot! Use hot pads or oven
mitts.

HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET (CONT.)
6. After food is cooked, set the Temperature Control Dial to WARM
until ready to serve, or to OFF if food is removed immediately.
7. When finished using, turn Temperature Control
ontrol Dial to OFF. Unplug
Cord from wall outlet. After Skillet has cooled, remove Temperature
Control Probe. CAUTION: Temperature Control Probe may be hot.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER
Unplug unit and remove Removable Stoneware.
1. Fill Removable Stoneware with hot or warm soapy water to loosen
food remains. Do not use abrasive compounds — a cloth, sponge or
rubber spatula will usually remove the residue. If necessary, a plastic
cleaning pad may be used. Use a non-abrasive cleaner (such as BonAmi® Polishing Cleanser) or vinegar to remove water spots or other
stains. Alternatively, the Removable Stoneware can go safely into
the dishwasher.
3. The Glass Lid may be washed in the top rack ONLY of the dishwasher.
CARE OF REMOVABLE STONEWARE
As with any fine ceramic, the Removable Stoneware bowl will not
withstand the shock of sudden temperature changes.
• If the Removable Stoneware has been preheated or is hot to the
touch, do not put in cold foods. Do not preheat Slow Cooker before
using unless specified in the recipe. The Removable Stoneware should
be at room temperature before adding hot foods.
• To wash your Removable Stoneware right after cooking, use hot
water. Do not pour in cold water if the Removable Stoneware is hot.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET
1. Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF. After Skillet has cooled, remove
Temperature Control Probe (make sure that it is unplugged from
outlet). CAUTION: Do not immerse Temperature Control Probe in
water or other liquids. Temperature Control Probe may be cleaned
by wiping with a damp cloth. CAUTION: Always make sure that
Probe Guard and Temperature Control Probe are completely dry
prior to use.
2. Wash Glass Lid in hot soapy water or top rack of dishwasher, then
rinse thoroughly and dry.
3. Thoroughly wash Skillet in hot soapy water, then rinse thoroughly and
dry. NOTE: To remove stubborn stains from Skillet or Glass Lid, use a
non-abrasive cleaner such as Bon-Ami® polishing cleanser. CAUTION:
Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh abrasive powders.
4. In time, the Non-Stick Cooking Surface may discolor. This is normal
and will not alter its Non-Stick properties. To remove any
discoloration, use a commercial cleaner for Non-Stick finishes such as
Dip-It® coffeepot destainer. Follow package directions. Recondition the
Non-Stick Cooking Surface before using again.
SLOW COOKER 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.
• For roasts and stews, pour liquid over meat. Use no more liquid than
specified in the recipe. More juices in meats and vegetables are
retained in slow cooking than in conventional cooking.
• Most vegetables should be thinly sliced or placed near the sides or
bottom of the Removable Stoneware. Meats generally cook faster than
most vegetables in a Slow Cooker.
• Use whole leaf herbs and spices for the best and truest flavor for allday cooking. If ground herbs and spices are used, they should be
stirred in during the last hour of cooking.
-8-

SLOW COOKER HINTS (CONT.)
• Because there is direct heat at the bottom, always fill the Removable
Stoneware at least half full to conform to recommended times. Small
quantities may be prepared, but cooking time will be affected.
• A specific liquid called for in a recipe may be varied if an equal
quantity is substituted. (Such as substituting a 10 3⁄4 ounce can of soup
plus 4 ounces of water for a 14 1⁄2 ounce can of tomatoes OR 1⁄2 cup
beef or chicken broth for 1⁄2 cup of wine, etc.)
• Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar
and/or acid foods (NOTE: Sugar and acid have a hardening effect on
beans and will prevent softening). Dried beans, especially red kidney
beans, should be boiled before adding to a recipe. Cover the beans
with 3 times their volume of unsalted water and bring to a boil. Boil
10 minutes, reduce heat, cover and allow to simmer 1 1⁄2 hours or until
beans are tender. Soaking in water, if desired, should be completed
before boiling. Discard water after soaking or boiling.
SKILLET HINTS
• Use only nylon or heat-proof plastic utensils. Metal utensils may
scratch the Non-Stick Cooking Surface.
• This Skillet is not designed to deep fry. To pan-fry, do not use more
than 1⁄2 cup of oil. Select a vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying. Butter
and olive oil should only be used to sauté foods on a lower
temperature setting.
• When preparing foods not listed in Temperature Guide, start with a
low temperature and work up to desired cooking temperature.
• If Non-Stick Cooking Surface has been conditioned (see above), there
is no need for additional cooking oils or fats when cooking. A small
amount of butter, shortening or oil will however, add flavor and aid
in even browning.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR SLOW COOKER
Q “What if the food isn’t done after 8 hours…when the recipe
says 8 to 10 hours?”
A This is due to voltage variations which are commonplace
everywhere; altitude; or even extreme humidity. The slight
fluctuations in power do not have a noticeable effect on most
appliances; however, it can slightly alter the cooking times. Allow
plenty of time, and remember, it is practically impossible to
overcook. You will learn through experience whether to decrease
or increase cooking times.
Q “Must the Slow Cooker be covered? Is it necessary to stir?”
A Cook with the Glass Lid on. The Slow Cooker will not recover heat
losses quickly when cooking on LOW setting. Significant amounts
of heat escape whenever the Glass Lid is removed; therefore the
cooking time must be extended. Avoid frequent removal of the
Glass Lid for checking cooking progress or stirring. Never remove
Glass Lid during the first 2 hours when baking breads or cakes.
It is not necessary to stir while cooking on LOW heat. While using
HIGH heat for short periods, occasional stirring improves the
distribution of flavors.
Q “How about thickening the juices or making gravy?”
A Add some quick-cooking tapioca to any recipe when you want to
make a thick gravy. Add the tapioca at the beginning and it will
thicken as it cooks! Or you may remove the solid foods, leaving the
juices. Prepare a smooth paste of approximately 1⁄2 cup flour or
cornstarch to 1⁄2 cup water or 4 tablespoons melted butter. Pour
mixture into liquid in the stoneware and stir well. Turn to HIGH
and when it comes to a boil (about 15 minutes) it’s ready.

-10-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR SLOW COOKER (CONT.)
Q “Can I cook a roast without adding water?”
A Yes – if cooked on LOW. We recommend a small amount because
the gravies are especially tasty. The more fat or “marbling” the
meat has, the less liquid you need. The liquid is needed to
properly soften and cook vegetables.
GUIDE TO ADAPTING RECIPES
This guide is designed to help you adapt recipes to the Slow Cooker —
your own favorites and prized recipes collected from friends, food
companies, newspapers and magazines. Our aim is to save preparation
time with fewer steps and dishes…and to keep cooking simple. In most
cases, all ingredients can go into your Slow Cooker in the beginning and
can cook all day. Many preparatory steps are unnecessary when using the
Slow Cooker. A few hints:
• Allow sufficient cooking time.
• Cook with Glass Lid on.
• Do not add as much water as some recipes indicate.
• Remember — liquids don’t “boil away” as in conventional cooking.
Usually you’ll have more liquid at the end of cooking instead of less.
• It’s “one-step” cooking: many steps in recipes may be deleted. Add
ingredients to Removable Stoneware at one time and cook 8 to 12
hours (add any liquid last).
• Vegetables do not overcook as they do when boiled in your oven or
on your range. Therefore, everything can go into the Slow Cooker at
one time. EXCEPTION: Milk, sour cream or cream should be added
during last hour.

TIME GUIDE FOR SLOW COOKER
IF RECIPE SAYS:
15 to 30 minutes
35 to 45 minutes
50 minutes to 3 hours

COOK ON LOW:
4 to 6 hours
6 to 10 hours
8 to 18 hours

GUIDE TO ADAPTING RECIPES (CONTINUED)
OR COOK ON HIGH:
1 1⁄2 to 2 hours
3 to 4 hours
4 to 6 hours

Most uncooked meat and vegetable combinations will require at least 8
hours on LOW.
PASTA AND RICE
If recipe calls for cooking noodles, macaroni, etc., cook on rangetop
before adding to slow cooker. Don’t overcook — just until slightly tender.
If cooked rice is called for, stir in with other ingredients; add 1⁄4 cup extra
liquid per 1⁄4 cup of raw rice. Use long grain converted rice for best results
in all-day cooking.

MILK
Milk, cream and sour cream tend to break down during extended
cooking. When possible add during last hour of cooking. Condensed
soups may be substituted for milk, etc., and can cook for extended
times.
SOUPS
Some soup recipes call for 2 to 3 quarts of water. Add other soup
ingredients to slow cooker; then add water only to cover. If thinner soup
is desired, add more liquid at serving time. If milk-based recipes have no
other liquid for initial cooking, add 1 or 2 cups water. Then during last
hour of cooking, stir in milk or cream as called for.

LIQUIDS
Use less in slow cooking — usually about half the recommended
amount. One cup of liquid is enough for any recipe unless it contains rice
or pasta.
SAUTEING VEGETABLES
Generally not necessary! Stir in chopped or sliced vegetables with other
ingredients. ONLY EXCEPTION: eggplant should be parboiled or
sauteed, due to strong flavor.
Since vegetables develop their full flavor potential with slow cooking,
expect delicious results even when you reduce quantities. Because
vegetables take longer to cook than meat, slice or chop them when
possible.
HERBS AND SPICES
Leaf or whole herbs and spices are preferred, but their flavor power may
increase — use half the recommended amount. If you use ground herbs
and spices, add during last hour of cooking.
