About Slowcooking

Slow cooking has alwaysbeen the best way toprepare a nutritious hot mealwith minimum preparationand maximum free timeaway from the kitchen.

Slow cooking gives youconvenient, versatile andflavoursome food. The longercooking times allow betterdistribution of f lavours,giving them time to blendand season the food. A slowcooker heats food gently,making it a great way tocook meats - in particular,less expensive cuts, such asstewing beef, which aretenderised through the longcooking process. Rememberthere are no limits to thepotential uses of your slowcooking, only in yourimagination!

IMPORTANT: The slowcooker works by building upheat and maintaining aneven temperature. To get thebest cooking results, do notremove the lid during

cooking, since this will loseheat and therefore slowdown the cooking time. Thetransparent lid allows you tomonitor the cookingprogress without interruptingthe cooking time.

USING FORTHE FIRST TIME

Before use, wash theceramic pot and glass lid inhot soapy water, rinsethoroughly and dry.

During initial use, you may

notice a slight odour due tothe burning off ofmanufacturing residues. Thisis completely normal and willdisappear after a few uses.

SLOW COOKINGTIPS

In use tips

Removing the lid will allowvaluable heat to escapereducing the efficiency of theslow cooker. If you removethe lid more than a couple oftimes you will need to allow10 15 minutes extracooking time.

After cooking if there is toomuch moisture in your food,remove the lid and turn thecontrol to High if set to Lowand reduce the moisture bysimmering for 30 minutes.

Alternatively if the recipeallows, use cornflower tothicken the liquid.

Do not use the slow cookerto reheat food.

If you are cooking halfquantities, time can bereduced usually to 2 /3 rds, soif a recipe calls for 10 hourson Low, this will require 7hours.

The food will be fully cooked

using the time guide in therecipes, depending onpersonal preference if youfind you need to cookfurther to soften rootvegetables, if set to Lowsimply select High and cookfor a further 30 minutes.

Preparing food tips general

If adapting an existing recipefrom conventional cooking,you may need to cut downon the amount of liquidused. Liquid will notevaporate from the slowcooker to the same extent

as with conventionalcooking.

Make sure all frozeningredients are thoroughlythawed before use.

Some ingredients are notsuitable for slow cookingsuch as; pasta, seafood,milk and cream. Theseshould be added towardsthe end of cooking.

Preparing food tips meat

In most recipes in thisbook, the meat ingredientsare browned first toimprove their appearanceand flavour.If you choose to skip thisstep, simply add your meatinto the slow cooker andcover with boiling stock. Youwill need to increase therecipe cooking time. ForHigh add 1 hour, for Lowadd 2 hours.

Browning meat before slowcooking helps seal in juicesand reduces fat separationduring slow cooking.

Where stock is required useboiling water, this will aid thecooking process;

Trim excess fat from meat

before cooking as slowcooking does not allow fat toevaporate.

Slow cooking gives youflavoursome food. The longercooking times allow betterdistribution of f lavours,giving them time to blendand season the food particularly less expensivecuts of meat such asstewing beef which istenderised through the longcooking process.

When cooking joints ofmeat, ham, poultry, the sizeand shape of the joint is

important. Try to keep the joint in the lower two thirdsof the ceramic pot and fullycover with water. Ifnecessary, cut into 2 pieces.

Insert a meat thermometerinto joints of roasts or hamsto ensure they are cooked tothe desired temperature.

Preparing food tips vegetables / pulses

Cut root vegetables intosmall even pieces, as theytake longer to cook thanmeat. They should be gentlysauted for 2-3 minutesbefore slow cooking. Ensurethat root vegetables arealways placed at the bottomof the ceramic pot and allingredients are immersed inthe cooking liquid.

Uncooked red beans mustbe soaked and boiled for atleast 10 minutes to removetoxins before use in a slowcooker.

CARE ANDCLEANING

Allow the ceramic pot andlid to cool before washing.

The ceramic pot and glasslid may be washed in adishwasher or washed byhand in hot soapy water. Donot use harsh abrasivecleaners.

Do not immerse theelectrical base or plug inwater, or any other liquid. Toclean the base, unplug andwipe clean with a dish cloth.

CARE FOR THE CERAMIC POT

Authentic stoneware is firedat high temperatures,therefore, the ceramic potmay have minor surfaceblemishes, the lid may rockslightly due to theseimperfections. Low heatcooking does not produce

steam, so there will be littleheat loss. Due to normalwear and tear through theproducts life, the outersurface may start appearingcrazed.

Do not put the ceramic potor lid in an oven, freezer,microwave or on agas/electrical hob.

48724 Rev1:48724 29/04/2009 13:47 Page 8


9/20


Do not pre heat beforeadding ingredients.

Do not subject the pot tosudden changes intemperature. Adding coldwater to a very hot pot couldcause it to crack.

Do not allow the pot tostand in water for a longtime (you can leave water inthe pot to soak). There is anarea on the ceramic pot thathas to remain unglazed formanufacturing purposes.This unglazed area isporous, therefore will soakup water, this should beavoided.

Do not switch the cooker onwhen the ceramic pot isempty or out of the base.

Cooking time range

Some recipes in the bookinclude a time range (eg. 4-6hours.) This indicates therecipe will be cooked in 4hours, however it is stillacceptable to leave the food

cooking for 6 hours.
