• WARNING: The Cooking Pot (3) will become
very hot when in use.
• To prevent the Cooking Pot from slipping when
using to sear, sauté or fry the ingredients on your
hob, use an oven glove to support the Cooking
Pot when stirring the food.
• Be careful when using the Cooking Pot on a gas
hob, select the correct size gas ring to fit the
base area of the Cooking Pot. DO NOT use on a
wok burner or oversized gas hob.
• Do not use metal utensils to stir food in the
Cooking Pot as this will scratch and remove the
non stick coating. Use either wood or silicone
plastic utensils.
• WARNING: The Lid Handle (1), the Base Unit (4)
and the Cooking Pot (3), as well as the outside
of the Base Unit, all become hot during cooking.
Always use oven gloves when handling ANY
part of the Slow Cooker during cooking.
• When removing the Glass Lid (2), open it away
from you to avoid being burned by steam.
• Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods,
however there are a few guidelines that need to
be followed.
• Ensure all frozen ingredients are thoroughly
defrosted prior to cooking.
• Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, as
the slow cooking method does not allow fat to
evaporate.
• Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as
they take longer to cook than meat. They can be
gently sautéed for 2-3 minutes before slow
cooking. Ensure that root vegetables are always
placed at the bottom of the Cooking Pot
(3) and
all ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid.
• If adapting an existing recipe from conventional
cooking, you may need to reduce the amount of
liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate from your
Slow Cooker to the same extent as conventional
cooking.
• Never leave uncooked food at room temperature
in your Slow Cooker.
• Uncooked kidney beans must be soaked
overnight and boiled for at least 10 minutes to
remove toxins before use in a Slow Cooker.
• Insert a meat thermometer into joints of roasts,
hams or whole chickens to ensure they are
cooked to the desired temperature.
• Do not use your Slow Cooker to reheat food.
• Your Slow Cooker must be at least half full for
best results.
• Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to
reduce liquid, remove the lid after cooking and
turn the control to High. Reduce the moisture by
simmering for 30 to 45 minutes.
• If cooking soups, leave 5 cm gap from the rim of
the Cooking Pot (3) and the food surface to allow
for simmering.
• Removing the Glass Lid (2) will allow heat to
escape, reducing the efficiency of your Slow
Cooker and increasing the cooking time. If you
remove the lid to stir or add ingredients, you will
need to allow 10-15 minutes extra cooking time
for each time you remove the Glass Lid.
