1. Select recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less. Use only boneless meats and poultry that are
cut into cubes no larger than 1 1/2 inches. It is not necessary to brown the meats before
cooking. As the soup or stew begins to cook, steam will come out of the vent in the lid.
Important: Do not place the appliance directly under your cabinets.
Note: When cooking rice or pasta in a soup, allow for additional liquid in the recipe.
Important: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable
nonstick cooking bowl provided.
2. Combine meats, vegetables and liquids in the cooking bowl. Stir with a wooden or
plastic spoon until ingredients are blended well.
Note: Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them at the end
of the cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture to cook an
additional 5 to 10 minutes.
