FAQs

Can I put frozen food directly into the slow cooker?

While it's generally safe, it's recommended to thaw frozen foods before slow cooking to ensure even cooking and reduce the risk of bacterial growth.

Is the lid dishwasher safe?

Yes, both the stoneware pot and the lid are dishwasher safe.

Can I use the slow cooker for baking?

Yes, but you may need to adjust the cooking time. The stoneware pot is oven safe.

How long can I leave the food on the warm setting?

The keep-warm function is designed to keep food warm for several hours. However, for best quality and food safety, it's recommended to consume the food within 4 hours.

What if my recipe calls for browning meat?
