Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods; however there are a few guidelines that need to be
followed.
Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take longer to cook than meat. ey should be
gently sautéed for 2-3 minutes before slow cooking. Ensure that root vegetables are always placed
at the bottom of the pot and all ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid.
Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, since the slow cooking method does not allow fat to
evaporate.
If adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking, you may need to cut down on the
amount of liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate from the slow cooker to the same extent as with
conventional cooking.
Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.
Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.
Uncooked Kidney beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes to remove toxins be-
fore use in a slow cooker.
Authentic stoneware is red at high temperatures; therefore the ceramic pot may have
minor surface blemishes and the glass lid may rock slightly due to these imperfections.
Low heat cooking does not produce steam so there will be little heat loss.
Due to normal wear and tear through the products life, the outer surface may start appearing
“crazed”.
Do not put the ceramic pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, and microwave or on any
gas/electric hob.
Do not subject the ceramic pot to sudden changes in temperature. Adding cold water to a very hot
pot could cause it to crack.
Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (You can leave water in the pot to soak).
ere is an area on the base of the ceramic pot that has to remain unglazed for manufacturing
purposes. is unglazed area is porous and will soak up water when immersed in it. is should
be avoided.
Do not switch the cooker on when the ceramic pot is empty or when it is out of the base.
Tips for slow cooking
e slow cooker pot must be at least half full for best results.
Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce moisture in the cooker, remove the lid aer
cooking and turn the control to high (if set to low or auto) and simmer
for 30 to 45 minutes.
e lid is not a seated properly. Don’t remove unnecessarily as the built up heat will escape. Each
time you remove the lid, allow an additional 10 minutes to the cooking time.
If cooking soups, leave a 5 cm space between the top of the cook pot and the food surface to allow
space for simmering.
Many recipes demand all day cooking, if you do not have time to prepare food that morning pre-
pare it the night before and store the food in a covered container in the refrigerator. Transfer the
food to the ceramic pot and add liquid/gravy. Select the setting low, high or auto.
Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on low. 4-6 hours on high and 5-7 hours on
auto.
Some ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking. Pasta, seafood, milk, and cream should be
added towards the end of the cooking time. Many things can aect how quickly a recipe will cook,
water and fat content, initial temperature of the food and the size of the food.
Food cut into small pieces will cook more quickly. A degree of ‘trial and error’ will be required to
fully optimise the potential of your slow cooker.
Root vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat, so try and arrange vegetables in the lower
half of the pot.
Aer food is cooked, switch cooker o and leave covered with the lid. ere will be enough heat
in the ceramic pot to keep warm for 30 minutes. If you require longer to keep warm switch to the
low setting.
All food may be covered with a liquid, gravy or sauce. In a separate pan or jug prepare your liquid,
gravy or sauce and completely cover the food in the ceramic pot.
Pre-browning meat and onions in a pan to seal in the juices also reduces the fat content before
adding to the ceramic pot. is improves the avour but is not necessary if time is limited.
When cooking joints of meat, ham, and poultry etc the size and shape of the joint is important.
Try to keep the joint in the lower 2/3 of the pot and fully cover with water. If necessary, cut in two
pieces. Joint weight should be kept within the maximum limit.
Care & Cleaning.
Always make sure the slow cooker is unplugged and in the OFF position before storing away or
cleaning. Make sure the unit has cooled down completely before commencing cleaning.
e stoneware insert is dishwasher safe or can also be cleaned with warm soapy water.
To remove any foods that have stuck to the bottom of the pot, simply ll the pot
and soak overnight in soapy water and rinse the next day.
e exterior of the slow cooker can be wiped with a damp cloth and dried.
DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaner or scouring pad to clean any part of the slow cooker as this
will damage the surface.
WARNING: NEVER IMMERSE THE SLOW COOKER BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER
LIQUID OR THIS MAY DAMAGE THE SLOW COOKER.
