FAQs
Can I put frozen food directly into the slow cooker?
It is recommended to thaw frozen food before placing it in the slow cooker to ensure even cooking and to prevent the food from staying in the 'danger zone' temperature for too long. If using frozen meat, it must be completely defrosted before cooking.
How do I clean the removable pot?
The removable pot is dishwasher safe. However, you can also wash it by hand with warm, soapy water. Ensure you dry the pot thoroughly before placing it back in the slow cooker.
What if the food is not cooked after the recommended time?
Cooking times can vary depending on the recipe and the ingredients used. If the food is not cooked after the recommended time, continue cooking on the same setting for an additional 30-60 minutes, checking periodically until it is done.
Can I use the slow cooker for baking?
The Tower slow cooker is designed for slow cooking stews, soups, and casseroles. While it's not specifically designed for baking, you can adapt some recipes. However, baking results may vary.
