Summarize the following:
It is recommended that you store it in a smaller Tupperware container, so that you can clean food off the crock pot just after it cools down. If your crock pot has a removable stoneware container, remove it from the heating portion to cool. Place it on a stove top. If you cannot remove the inner portion of the crock pot, you must make sure the device is unplugged and cooled completely before cleaning with water. Crock pots should be fairly easy to clean. If there is baked on food, allow it to soak for 5 to 10 minutes in warm soapy water. Removable stoneware containers can also be cleaned in the dishwasher. If you have repeated problems with hard to remove food, you may be cooking the ingredients for too long. Do not use scouring pads to clean the crock pot, or it may damage the surface. Wipe dry. Wipe dry after cleaning to reduce the likelihood of spots.
Remove leftover food from your crock pot. Clean with warm soap and water. Wipe the heating base with a soft cloth dipped in warm, soapy water. Remove water spots with vinegar. Finished.
