SAUTÉING

1. Place the VersaWare™ Pro slow cooker stoneware onto one of the large burners

on the stovetop.

IMPORTANT: When using the stoneware on an electric stovetop (coil or
ceramic), the heat diff user (included) must be used. Place the heat diff user onto
one of the large burners and position the stoneware on top of the heat diff user.

2. Coat the inside of the stoneware with oil or butter and place food into the

stoneware. DO NOT heat empty stoneware on the stovetop. Always ensure there
is liquid or food inside the stoneware when heating.

3. Set the stove temperature to Low before increasing to Medium. Turn down heat

as necessary to avoid overcooking. DO NOT use your stoneware on the High
setting on stovetop burners.

4. Stir food in the stoneware often, when cooking on the stovetop.

DO NOT use metal utensils, because they will scratch the stoneware.

SLOW COOKING

1. Insert VersaWare™ Pro slow cooker stoneware into the heating base, place

your food into the stoneware, and plug in the unit. Turn the temperature dial to
the desired setting. Your VersaWare™ Pro slow cooker has three temperature
settings. LOW is recommended for slow “all-day” cooking. One hour on HIGH
equals about 1½ to 2 hours on LOW. WARM is ONLY for keeping already
cooked food at the perfect serving temperature until you are ready to eat. DO
NOT cook on the WARM setting. Always cook with the lid on when using your
stoneware in the slow cooker heating base.

2. Turn the timer dial to the desired cooking time. Th

e time displays in the panel

and starts to count down. Th

e cooking time options range from 30 minutes up to

20 hours, in 30 minute intervals. When the cooking time has completed, the slow
cooker automatically shifts to the WARM setting.

NOTE: We do not recommend using the WARM setting for more than 4 hours.

NOTE: If you do not set the timer, the slow cooker will run at the temperature
setting you chose until you turn it off .

3. When cooking is done, turn the temperature dial to OFF and unplug the unit

from the outlet. Allow the slow cooker to cool before cleaning it.

ROASTING/BROILING

Th

e VersaWare™ Pro slow cooker stoneware can also be used as a traditional roasting

pan in your oven.
