For safekeeping, from the instruction book that came with my model: ksc700obo kitchenaid slow cooker. This recipe is copied from the book. The slow cooker i have is a large 7 quart rectangular/oval shape from jc penney catalog. Nice for large groups and freezer meals. I seem to be the holiday" cook in my family! I believe small appliances are as important as large ones and invest accordingly for my needs."
