HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT  
1. There are two temperature settings. LOW is recommended for slow ”all-day”  
1
cooking. 1 hour on HIGH equals about 2 to 2 ⁄ hours on LOW.  
2
2. Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a recipe.  
However, do not cook frozen foods such as roasts and chicken unless you add at  
least 1 cup of 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 2 hours on HIGH.  
3. Always cook with the lid on, for the recommended time.  
4. Follow recommended cooking times.  
5. Do not use the slow cooker stoneware for storage of foods.  
®
6. Do not reheat foods in your Crock-Pot slow cooker.  
7. Do not set heated unit filled with food on a finished wood table.  
8. Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.  
9. Removable stoneware and glass lids are ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use  
plastic lids in microwave or conventional oven. Do not use removable stoneware on  
gas or electric burner or under broiler.  
CAUTION: For models with removable stoneware, always place protective padding  
under bowl before setting on table or countertop.  
PREPARE AHEAD CONVENIENCE!  
Fill bowl and refrigerate. When ready to cook, set in electrical base and turn to LOW or  
HIGH. Do not preheat electrical base.  
®
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CROCK-POT  
Unplug unit. CAUTION: Never submerge heating unit in water or other liquid.  
MODELS WITH PLASTIC LIDS: the lids may be washed in the dishwasher top rack  
only.  
MODELS WITH GLASS LIDS: the lids may be washed in the dishwasher.  
REMOVABLE STONEWARE  
• The removable stoneware goes safely into the dishwasher, or may be washed in hot  
soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds – a cloth, a sponge or  
rubber spatula will usually remove the residue. To remove water spots and other  
®
stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner (such as Bon-Ami Polishing Cleanser) or vinegar.  
• The outside case may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Wipe dry.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners.  
NON-REMOVABLE STONEWARE  
• Fill stoneware with hot or warm soapy water to loosen food remains. Do not use  
abrasive cleaning compounds – a cloth, sponge or rubber spatula will usually  
-3-  
 
remove the residue. If necessary, a plastic cleaning pad may be used. Use a non-  
®
abrasive cleaner (such as Bon-Ami Polishing Cleanser) or vinegar to remove water  
spots and other stains.  
CARE OF STONEWARE  
As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware bowl will not withstand the shock of sudden  
temperature changes.  
• If the stoneware has been preheated or is hot to the touch, do not put in cold  
®
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.  
• 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  
stoneware. Meats generally cook faster than most vegetables in a slow cooker.  
• Use whole leaf herbs and spices for best and truest flavor for all-day cooking. If  
ground herbs and spices are used, they should be stirred in during the last hour.  
• Because there is no direct heat at the bottom, always fill the stoneware at least half  
full to conform to recommended times. Small quantities may be prepared, but  
cooking time will be effected.  
• A specific liquid called for in a recipe may be varied if an equal quantity is  
3
substituted. (Such as substituting a 10 ⁄  
4
ounce can of soup plus 4 ounces of water  
1
1
1
for a 14 ⁄  
2
ounce can of tomatoes OR ⁄  
2
cup beef or chicken broth for ⁄ cup of  
2
wine.)  
• 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  
1
to a boil. Boil 10 minutes, reduce heat, cover and allow to simmer 1 ⁄  
2
hours or until  
beans are tender. Soaking in water, if desired, should be completed before boiling.  
Discard water after soaking or boiling.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
Q
A
“What if the food isn’t done after 8 hours…when the recipe says  
8 to 10 hours?”  
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
A
“Must the Crock-Pot slow cooker be covered? Is it necessary to stir?”  
®
Cook with the cover on. The Crock-Pot 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. While using HIGH heat for  
short periods,  
occasional stirring improves the distribution of flavors.  
Q
A
“How about thickening the juices or making gravy?”  
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  
1
1
approximately ⁄  
2
cup flour or cornstarch to ⁄ cup water or 4 tablespoons melted  
2
butter. Pour mixture into liquid in stoneware and stir well. Turn to HIGH and  
when it comes to a boil (about 15 minutes) it’s ready.  
Q
A
“Can I cook a roast without adding water?”  
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.  
IMPORTANT TIPS  
4-5 QUART MODELS (3140, 3145, 3164, 3351, 3950, 3355)  
• All recipes in this book may be prepared as shown for the 4 and 5 quart models. If  
desired, recipes may be increased by one-half for 5-quart models. When a recipe  
may be doubled it will indicated by a footnote. If a recipe is increased, cooking  
time may need to be extended.  
®
• The size and shape of the 5 quart Crock-Pot slow cooker is ideal for larger roasts (3  
to 5 pounds), baking hens (3 to 4 pounds), and picnic hams (up to 5 pounds).  
-5-  
 
These weights depend on shape. Extended cooking times may be necessary for  
these larger cuts.  
6-7 QUART MODELS (3656 and 3670)  
Important: When using the 6 and 7 quart models, all recipes may be used but should  
be doubled according to the guidelines below.  
• Liquids in soups, stews, sauces, or meat and vegetable combinations should be  
increased by one-half and not doubled. For example: the recipe in the book calls  
1
for 1 cup of liquid. Begin with 1 ⁄  
2
cups when doubling the recipe; add liquid only if  
necessary.  
NOTE: When doubling casserole recipes which contain rice or pasta, it is necessary  
to double the liquid along with other ingredients.  
• Do not double strongly flavored food such as onions, or herbs and seasonings such  
as garlic, pepper or chili powder. Begin by increasing by one-half. Taste and adjust  
seasonings, if necessary, just before serving.  
The size of meat cuts may also be increased. Follow these hints:  
• Meat quantities in casseroles, soups, stews or sauces should be doubled.  
• When a recipe calls for “One whole 3-pound fryer”, use two whole chickens of a  
similar weight.  
• Beef roasts, pork roasts or hams should be increased but not doubled because  
vegetables are included due to the size and shape of the meat cuts. Use one 4 to 5  
pound roast or ham.  
• Cooking times for all recipes will be similar to those listed for smaller-sized recipes.  
If much larger meat cuts are served, it may be necessary to increase cooking time  
by 2 to 3 hours on LOW or 1 to 2 hours on HIGH.  
GUIDE TO ADAPTING RECIPES  
®
This guide is designed to help you adapt recipes to the Crock-Pot 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  
slow cooker in the beginning and can cook all day. Many preparatory steps are  
®
unnecessary when using the Crock-Pot slow cooker. A few hints:  
• Allow sufficient cooking time.  
• Cook with cover 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  
the 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.  
-6-  
 
Therefore, everything can go into the slow cooker at one time. EXCEPTION: milk,  
sour cream or cream should be added during last hour of cooking.  
TIME GUIDE  
IF RECIPE SAYS:  
15 to 30 minutes  
COOK ON LOW:  
4 to 6 hours  
OR COOK ON HIGH:  
1
1 ⁄  
2
to 2 hours  
35 to 45 minutes  
50 minutes to 3 hours  
6 to 10 hours  
8 to 18 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 before adding to slow cooker.  
Don’t overcook — just until slightly tender. If cooked rice is called for, stir in with other  
1
1
4
4
ingredients; add ⁄ cup extra liquid per ⁄ cup of raw rice. Use long grain converted rice  
for best results in all-day cooking.  
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.  
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.
