[. . . ] 3745, 3751, 3755, 3760, 3960 Oval Slow Cooker The Original and America's #1 Brand of Slow Cookers Owner's Guide READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or cooking unit in water or other liquid. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. [. . . ] If cooked rice is called for, stir in with other ingredients; add 1/4 cup extra liquid per 1/4 cup of raw rice. 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. 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. MILK Milk, cream and sour cream tend to break down during extended cooking. Condensed soups may be substituted for milk, etc. , and can cook for extended times. Add other soup ingredients to Crock-Pot®; then add water only to cover. 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. YOUR OVAL CROCK-POT® SLOW COOKER The oval Crock-Pot slow cooker is perfect for so many of your favorite foods.
