Double Dish™Slow Cooker

This product is intended for household

use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized

plug. This type of plug has one blade wider

than the other. The plug will fit into an

electrical outlet only one way. This is a

safety feature intended to help reduce the

risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to

insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing

the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,

contact a qualified electrician to replace the

obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat

the safety purpose of the polarized plug by

modifying the plug in any way.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not

use a high wattage appliance on the same

circuit with the slow cooker.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Slow Cooker Safety

When using electrical appliances, basic

safety precautions should always be

observed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles

or knobs.

3. To protect against electrical shock do not

immerse cord, plug, or base in water or

other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any

appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and

before cleaning. Allow to cool before

putting on or taking off parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with

a damaged cord or plug, or after the

appliance malfunctions or is dropped

or damaged in any manner. Call our

toll-free customer service number for

information on examination, repair, or

adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not

recommended by Hamilton Beach/

Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause fire, electric

shock or injury.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of

table or counter, or touch hot surfaces,

including stove.

10. Do not place on or near hot gas or an

electric burner, or in a heated oven.

11. Extreme caution must be used when

using an appliance containing hot oil or

other hot liquids.

12. To disconnect slow cooker, turn control

knob to Off; remove plug from outlet.

13. Caution: To prevent damage or shock

hazard do not cook in base. Cook only

in removable liner.

14. Avoid sudden temperature changes,

such as adding refrigerated foods into

a heated crock.

15. Do not operate appliance in any way

other than intended use.

Consumer Safety Information

The length of the cord used on this appli-

ance was selected to reduce the hazards

of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a

longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an

approved extension cord may be used.

The electrical rating of the extension cord

must be equal to or greater than the rating

of the slow cooker. Care must be taken to

arrange the extension cord so that it will not

drape over the countertop or tabletop where

it can be pulled on by children or acciden-

tally tripped over.

Do not cook in the Double Dish Bowls

unless water is in the crock.

Do not use the slow cooker with only half

of the Double Dish; both must be used.

Crock Capacity

How much does your

slow cooker hold?

The capacity of your slow cooker

refers to the amount the crock can

hold if it is filled to the rim. However,

we DO NOT recommend filling to the

rim. As a rule, you should select

recipes that yield 1 quart less than

the listed capacity of your crock.

For example, if your slow cooker is

labeled as a 6-quart slow cooker,

your best results will be achieved

using recipes that yield 5 quarts or

less.

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 thor-

oughly cooked. Food should not be

reheated on the Keep Warm setting. If

food has been cooked and then refrig-

erated it must be reheated on Low or

High, then switched to Keep Warm.

Control Knob and Temperature Settings

CAUTION: The Keep Warm setting should only be used after completely cooking

the recipe according to the instructions. The food must be hot enough to prevent

bacterial growth before using the Keep Warm setting. Do not use the Keep Warm

setting to reheat any food that has been refrigerated or frozen.

1. Before first use, wash the cover and

crock in hot, soapy water. Rinse and

dry. Do not immerse base in water.

2. Prepare recipe according to instruc-

tions. Place food in crock and cover.

3. Plug cord into outlet. Select temper-

ature setting.

How to Use Your Slow Cooker

4. When finished, turn to Off and

unplug base. Remove food from

crock.

5. Let the crock and cover cool slightly

before washing.

Basic Cooking Chart/Hours Required

When removing the cover, tilt so that

the opening faces away from you to

avoid being burned by steam.

The sides of the base of the slow

cooker get very warm because

the heating elements are located

here. Use the handles on the base

if necessary. Use oven mitts to remove

the bowls and the crock.

Removing Cover, Bowls, and Crock

The Double Dish Bowls offer two different cooking methods: the conventional

slow cook method or the faster, “bowls in the crock” method, as well as letting

you cook two different recipes at the same time

Using the Double Dish Bowls with water in the crock works like a conventional

slow cooker. However, cooking with the Double Dish Bowls in the base is very

different. This is a much faster cooking method and nothing like the conventional

slow cooker. This faster method should be used when time is a factor or with

recipes such as soups or stews.

Double Dish Bowls

To Use the Double Dish Bowls in the Base

Before First Use: Wash bowls in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.

1. Prepare recipe according to

instructions. Place food in bowls.

2. Place both bowls into the slow

cooker base. Cover and set control

knob to desired setting.

3. When done, turn control knob to

Off and unplug slow cooker. Using

oven mitts, carefully remove the

cover and then the bowls.

4. Remove the food from the bowls.

Let the cover cool slightly before

washing.

NOTE: When using the bowls in the

crock, water must be used in the

crock. Otherwise the crock may

overheat and crack.

1. Pour one quart of water into the

crock. Prepare recipe according to

instructions. Place food in the

bowls.

2. Place both bowls into crock. Cover

and set the control knob to desired

setting.

3. When done, turn control knob to

Off and unplug slow cooker. Using

over mitts, carefully remove the

cover and then the bowls.

4. Remove food from the bowls. Let

the crock and cover cool slightly

before washing.

To Use the Double Dish Bowls in the Crock

Before First Use: Wash bowls in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.

• The cover of the slow cooker does

not form a tight fit on the crock but

should be centered on the crock for

best results. Do not remove the

cover unnecessarily—this results in

major heat loss. Do not cook without

cover in place.

• Stirring is not necessary when slow

cooking. However, if cooking on High,

you may want to stir occasionally.

• Slow cooking retains most of the

moisture in foods. If a recipe results

in too much liquid at the end of the

cooking time, remove the cover, turn

the control knob to High, and reduce

the liquid by simmering. This will take

30 to 45 minutes.

Tips for Slow Cooking

• The slow cooker should be at least

half-filled for best results.

• If cooking soups or stews, leave a

2-inch space between the top of the

crock and the food so that the 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, do it

the night before. Place all ingredients

in the crock, cover and refrigerate

overnight. In the morning, simply

place crock in the slow cooker and

select the temperature setting.

• Meat and poultry require at least 7 to

8 hours on Low. Do not use frozen

meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any

meat or poultry before slow cooking.

You are probably ready to develop new

recipes for use in your slow cooker. If

the recipe was originally cooked in a

saucepan on the stovetop, or slow

roasted in the oven, adapting the recipe

should be easy.

If You’ve Used a Slow Cooker Before

Cooking in a slow cooker is easy but

different from conventional methods.

Take a few minutes and read “How to

Use” and “Tips for Slow Cooking.”

You’ll soon be convinced that a slow

cooker is a necessity. There are also

many slow cooker recipe books avail-

able in the library or book store. If you

have any questions, call our toll-free

customer service number. We’ll be glad

to help.

Our slow cooker heats from the sides.

The base slowly raises the temperature

of the crock. Whether cooked on Low

or High, the final temperature of the

food is the same, about 200°F. The

only difference is the amount of time

the cooking process takes.

If You’ve NEVER Used a Slow Cooker

• Please handle the crock and cover

carefully to ensure long life.

• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature

changes. For example, do not place a

hot cover or crock into cold water, or

onto a wet surface.

• Avoid hitting the crock and cover

against the faucet or other hard

surfaces.

• Do not use crock or cover if chipped,

cracked, or severely scratched.

• Do not use abrasive cleansers or

metal scouring pads.

Adapting Recipes

Some ingredients are not suited for

extended cooking in the slow cooker.

Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour

cream should be added 2 hours before

serving. Evaporated milk or condensed

soups are perfect for the slow cooker.

Many things can affect how quickly a

recipe will cook. The water and fat

content of a food, the temperature of

the food, and the size of the food will

all affect the cooking time. Food cut

into pieces will cook faster than whole

roasts or poultry.

Most meat and vegetable combinations

require at least 7 hours on Low.

The higher the fat content of the meat,

the less liquid is needed. If cooking

meat with a high fat content, place

thick onion slices underneath, so the

meat will not sit and cook in the fat.

Some recipes call for browning the

meat before slow cooking. This is only

to remove excess fat or for color; it is

not necessary for successful cooking.

Slow cookers have very little evapora-

tion. If making your favorite soup, stew,

or sauce, reduce the liquid or water

called for in the original recipe. If too

thick, liquids can be added later.

If cooking a vegetable-type casserole,

there will need to be liquid in the

recipe to prevent scorching on the

sides of the crock.

Cleaning

1. Turn the control knob to Off. Unplug

cord from outlet.

2. Remove bowls, crock and cover from

base and let cool.

3. Wash the bowls, crock and cover in

hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. The

bowls, crock and cover may also be

washed in the dishwasher.

4. Wipe the base with a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of

electrical shock, do not immerse

base in water.

Crock and Glass Cover Precautions and

Information

• The bottom of the crock is very rough

and can damage the countertop. Use

caution.

• The crock and the cover can become

very hot. Use caution. Do not place

directly on any unprotected surface or

countertop.

• The crock is microwave safe and

oven proof, but never heat the crock

when empty. Never place the crock

on a burner or stove top. Do not place

the cover in a microwave oven,

conventional oven, or on the stove top.

Optional Features on Selected Models

The Lid Latch secures the cover while moving,

transporting, or storing the slow cooker. To use

Lid Latch, place the white band into the groove

located under one of the handles. Stretch the

band to the other side of the slow cooker and

secure it in the groove under the other handle.

Once the band is attached, it can also be crossed

over the knob to further secure the lid.

The Carrying Case can be used when you need

to transport the slow cooker to another location.

First attach the Lid Latch. Secure the electric cord

of the slow cooker with a rubber band or twist tie.

Then set the slow cooker in the Carrying Case with

the cord under the slow cooker. Fit the handles of

the slow cooker through the openings in the case.

Zip the case and use caution when carrying any

hot foods. The Carrying Case can be cleaned by wiping with a damp sponge.

For bigger spills, hand wash the case in cold water and mild detergent.

DO NOT PLUG IN AND TURN ON WHEN THE SLOW COOKER IS STILL IN

THE CARRYING CASE.

The recipes are divided into three different cooking categories:

• Using the traditional crock

• Using the Double Dish bowls with the water in the crock

• Using the Double Dish bowls in the base

NOTES:

• For best results, be sure to note the category because each cooking category

requires different cooking times.

• The traditional crock recipes give two different recipe amounts. One column

of ingredients is for the 5-quart crock and the other column is for the 6 or

7-quart crock.

• The recipe amounts for the Double Dish bowls will work in all sizes of the

Double Dish bowls.
