• M
any recipes will take several hours to cook. If
you don’t have time to prepare food in the
m
orning, prepare it the night before, storing the
food in a covered container in the fridge. Transfer
the food to the Cooking Pot
(10) and add boiling
l
iquid/stock. In most of the recipes in this book,
the meat ingredients are browned first to improve
t
heir appearance and flavour.
• Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10
h
ours on Low, 6-8 hours on Medium or 4-6 hours
on High.
• S
ome ingredients are not suitable for slow
cooking. Pasta, seafood, milk and cream should
be added towards the end of the cooking time.
• Pieces of food cut into small pieces will cook
quicker. A degree of ‘trial and error’ will be
required to fully optimise the potential of your
Slow Cooker.
• All food should 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 Cooking Pot (10).
• When cooking joints of meat, ham, poultry etc,
the size and shape of the joint is important. Try to
keep the joint in the lower 2/3 of the pot. If
necessary, cut into two pieces. Joint weight
should be kept within the maximum limit see
recipe for guidance.
• For ham and brisket fill with hot water to just
cover 2/3 of the depth of the joint. For beef, pork
or poultry cover to 1/3 depth
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an
appliance containing hot food, water, or other
hot liquids.
