The Control Knob on the slow cooker
offers Low and High temperature
settings for cooking. The Keep Warm
setting is for holding the prepared
recipe at a perfect serving temperature.
The Keep Warm setting should only
be used after a recipe has been
thoroughly cooked. Food should not
be cooked or reheated on the Keep
Warm setting. If the food has been
cooked and then refrigerated it must be
reheated on Low or High, then switched
to Keep Warm.
Cool Touch!
The base handles and control and
lid knobs of the slow cooker base
are cool to the touch. Other areas,
such as the base of the slow cooker,
are warm but will not burn you if
casually touched. The crock, cover,
and interior metal surface of the
base are hot.
