To prevent burns and hot oil or liquid spills, safeguard your crock pot by always wearing oven mitts when handling the lid or removing the stoneware insert.
To avoid damage to counter tops, walls and cabinets, keep adequate clearance of 6 inches from the wall and on all sides of the crock pot.
Sudden temperature changes can break the crock pot's stoneware insert or lid; so follow the manufacturer's instructions when adding frozen foods or pouring cold liquids into a heated crock pot.
Use electrical power wisely when cooking in a crock pot. Always turn it off and unplug it from the electrical outlet when cooking is done. Allow the crock pot to cool before cleaning and storage.
Always cook with the lid that comes with the crock pot. Do not remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking in order to allow the heat to build up efficiently. If the lid is removed, it may take up to one hour to restore the crock pot's cooking temperature.
