Using Your Slow Cooker

1. Stand the electric base on a level, heat-resistant surface. Do not use on the floor.
2. Do not preheat your pot unless your manufacturer's instructions tell you to.
3. Put the ingredients in the ceramic crock pot, then put the pot in the base.
4. Add boiling liquid.
5. Cover with the lid and select the cooking temperature (High, Medium or Low).
6. Cook for the recommended time, checking after the shorter time if a range is given. This will usually be sufficient for most cookers but the food won't spoil if it is cooked for the extra time.
7. Taste, stir and re-season, if necessary.
8. Switch off the cooker and remove the crock pot using oven gloves.
