Slow Cooker Setting Guidelines - KitchenAid KSC700 Instructions

Operating the Slow Cooker and
Using the "Simmer," "Low," "High,"
and "Auto" settings
1. Turn the 5-setting cook and serve control
to either the "Simmer," "Low," "High," or
"Auto" setting. The cooking time display
will show the default setting and begin its
countdown to 0:00.
2. Press the "-" or "+" buttons to shorten
or lengthen cook time.

Slow Cooker Setting Guidelines

The multiple slow cooker settings, from "Auto"
to "Buffet," allows the kind of cooking, or
serving, that lets you prepare a variety of foods
on different settings so you can adapt your
recipes to your changing schedule.
– An excellent way to cook foods faster than using the "Low" or "Simmer"
"Auto"
settings, but allowing slower cooking than the "High" setting. Also, use it for foods
that require more than 10 hours of cooking time.
broth-based soup
large pieces of squash
beef roast
chicken/turkey pieces
wild rice casserole
– Try using this setting when a shorter cooking time is desired or for recipes
"High"
that are typically baked.
hot beverages
broth-based soup
pork roast
chicken or turkey casserole
dumplings
– Appropriate for most recipes when there is time for long, slow cooking. It's
"Low"
an ideal setting for food started before going to work in the morning and served for
dinner in the evening.

3. Once the timer display counts down
to "0:00," the display will show "End,"
three 1-second beeps will signal the
end of cooking time, and the cooker
will automatically switch to "Keep
Warm" and continue on "Keep Warm"
for four hours.
4. Once the 4-hour time limit is reached,
all displays are turned off, and the unit
shuts off.
In general, use lower settings for longer cook
times. Try a higher setting when you start food
preparation later in the day and want to serve
the food that same evening. See KitchenAid
slow cooker recipes for examples.
