Care And Cleaning; Tips For Slow Cooking - Hamilton Beach 33602 Instructions

Care and Cleaning

1. Unplug. Set up Lid Stand.
2. Lift Air Fry Lid by Handle and place on Lid Stand. Cool
completely. NOTE: Leave Crock in Slow Cooker Base to cool due
to high temperatures when air frying. Letting Crock cool guards
against rapid cooldown that may cause damage.

Tips for Slow Cooking

• Removable Crock should be at least half-filled for best results.
If only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than
recipe.
• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing Glass
Lid results in major heat loss and cooking time may need to be
extended. However, if cooking on HIGH, you may want to stir
occasionally.
• If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5-cm) space between
top of Removable Crock and food so recipe can come to a
simmer.
• Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule
doesn't allow time to prepare a recipe, prepare it the night before.
Place all ingredients in Removable Crock, cover with lid, and
refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place Removable
Crock in Slow Cooker.
w WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect
power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug,
air fry lid or slow cooker base in any liquid
3. Wipe top of Air Fry Lid with a damp towel and dry.
4. Wipe underside of Air Fry Lid with a damp, soapy cloth. Then
wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry.
5. DO NOT immerse Air Fry Lid in water or use any abrasive
cleansers or pads.
• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a Slow
Cooker. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be
added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed
soups are perfect for slow cooking.
• The higher the fat content of meat, less liquid is needed. If
cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices
underneath so meat will not sit on (and cook in) fat.
• Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your
favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in original
recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later.
• If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid
in recipe to prevent scorching on sides of Removable Crock.
