of the onions and then top the chicken with the remaining ingredients. Cover with  
glass lid and cook for 8 hours on Low setting or for 4 hours 30 minutes on High  
setting.  
All food should be cooked with the glass  
lid in place. Each time the lid is lifted,  
both the heat and moisture in the food  
are lost. Cooking times should thus be  
extended by approximately 30 minutes.

Liquid Amounts  
When food is cooking in your slow  
cooker, very little moisture boils away. To  
compensate this, it is advisable to halve  
the liquid content of traditional recipes.  
However, if after cooking, the liquid  
content is excessive, remove the lid and  
operate the slow cooker on the high  
setting for 30-45 minutes or until the  
liquid reduces by the desired amount.  
Directions:  
10.Let ceramic pot and glass lid cool  
completely before washing.  
Spray inside of slow cooker with cooking spray. Remove inner skin from ribs. Mix  
brown sugar, pepper, liquid smoke, garlic and salt; rub mixture into ribs. Cut ribs  
into 4-inch pieces. Layers ribs and onion in slow cooker. Pour cola over ribs.  
Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 9 hours or until tender. Remove ribs from  
slow cooker. Drain and discard liquid. Pour barbecue sauce into shallow bowl.  
Dip ribs into sauce. Place ribs in slow cooker. Pour any remaining sauce over ribs.  
Cover and cook on low heat setting 1 hour.  
Guide To Slow Cooking  
Always allow sufficient time for the food  
to cook. It is almost impossible to  
overcook food in a slow cooker,  
particularly when using the low or keep  
warm settings. Most recipes contained  
within this book, can be cooked on any  
one of the temperature settings,  
however cooking times will vary  
accordingly. Each recipe in this book will  
give specific instructions indicating the  
appropriate temperature setting as well  
as the suggested cooking times.

DO’s  
Handle the ceramic pot and glass lid  
with care.  
Directions:  
Cook beef in a large skillet over medium heat , stirring to crumble the beef until it  
is browned. Drain. Place cooked beef, chopped onion, beef broth, tomato sauce,  
chili powder, paprika, cumin, two teaspoons of the beef bouillon, garlic powder,  
and black pepper in ceramic pot. Mix ingredients and cover with glass lid. Cook for  
7 hours 15 minutes on Low setting or 3 hours 15 minutes on High setting. Stir in  
remaining beef bouillon, onion powder, salt, sugar and lime juice. Cover and cook  
for one more hour. Top with sour cream, green onions and cheese if desired.  
Use oven mitts when lifting the  
ceramic pot containing hot foods.  
Avoid extreme temperature changes  
in the ceramic pot or glass lid. For  
example, do not place into or under  
cold water while still hot  
Tips For Slow Cooking  
The cover of the slow cooker does not  
form a tight fit on the ceramic pot but  
should be centered on the ceramic pot  
for best results. Do not remove the  
glass cover unnecessarily - this will  
result in major heat loss. Do not cook  
without the glass cover in place.  
Stirring is not normally needed when  
using a slow cooker. 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 glass cover,  
turn the control knob to high, and  
reduce the liquid by simmering. This  
will take 30-45 minutes.
