West Bend L5953D 87906 Slow Cooker F.A.Q.

How do I properly clean the West Bend L5953D 87906 Slow Cooker?

To clean your West Bend Slow Cooker, unplug the unit and allow it to cool. Hand wash the cooking pot and lid with warm, soapy water. The base can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.

What should I do if the slow cooker is not heating properly?

If your slow cooker is not heating, check the power connection and ensure the outlet is working. If the issue persists, contact West Bend customer service for further assistance.

Can I use the slow cooker to cook frozen foods?

It is not recommended to cook frozen foods directly in the slow cooker as it may take too long for the food to reach a safe temperature. Always thaw meat or poultry before cooking in a slow cooker.

How can I prevent food from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker?

To prevent sticking, you can lightly coat the inside of the cooking pot with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil before adding ingredients.

What is the recommended cooking time for a beef stew in the slow cooker?

For a beef stew, it is generally recommended to cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, depending on the recipe and the size of the meat pieces.

Why is there condensation on the lid during cooking?

Condensation on the lid is normal as moisture from the cooking food evaporates and collects on the cooler surface of the lid. This helps maintain moisture levels in the dish.

How can I adjust cooking times when doubling a recipe?

When doubling a recipe, cooking time should remain the same. However, ensure the slow cooker is not more than three-quarters full to allow for even cooking.
