INTENDED USE OF THE SLOW COOKER
■
The multi & slow cooker is intended for cooking meals such as
soups, goulash, sauces, stewed vegetables, stuffed capsicums, gratin
potatoes, meat roulades, pasta and awhole range of other meals
that can be cooked in astandard pot, pressure cooker or in stewing
or steaming pots.
■ The stainless steel steamer basket also enables the cooking of fish,
dumplings and vegetables in steam to retain maximum nutrients.
The rack enables even sous-vide style cooking (cooking in vacuum).
WHY USE THE SLOW COOKING MODE?
■ The slow cooking method retains all the flavours, does not require
the use of oil, saves time and money, and enables you to prepare
outstanding meals even from cheaper cuts of meat. Prevents any
burning of meals because it does not require the high cooking
temperatures at which food burns. It also reduces water consumption
because the meal is cooked in asingle pot.
■ Advantages of the slow cooking mode:
- Simplicity and time savings – simply put all the ingredients into
the cooking pot and allow it to do all the work.
- Saves water and power – the special aluminium alloy construction
of the slow cooker enables more effective heat transfer than
traditional ceramic pots to reduce power consumption.
- Intense flavours and no vitamin loss – unlike with standard
cooking, by cooking slowly at low temperatures flavours and
vitamins are retained.
- Juicy meat – when slow cooking, juices stay inside the meat.
- Option to cook tough meat cuts – traditionally tough meat cuts
are outstanding when slow cooked.
- Fat-free cooking – thanks to low temperatures, oil is not needed
and therefore meals are lighter and even taste better.
BEFORE FIRST USE
■
Before using it for the first time, wash the cooking pot A4, glass
lid A1, the steamer basket A3 and accessories A10 and A12 using
ahot detergent solution. Then rinse all these parts with clean water
and dry them thoroughly with afine wiping cloth. The cooking pot,
lid, steamer basket and rack can also be washed in adishwasher.
■ Also clean out the inner and outer parts of the slow cooker unit A5
using alightly dampened wiping cloth and then wipe it dry. Never
submerge the slow cooker unit A5 in water or any other liquid!
PREPARATION FOR COOKING
■ Take the cooking pot A4 out of the slow cooker unit and then using
ameasuring cup or spoon, etc., put the required ingredients into it
and fill it with water according to the given recipe. The total amount
of ingredients together with water must not exceed the 4/5 mark of
the cooking pot. When preparing meals, which increase in volume
during the cooking process, do not fill the cooking pot to more than
3/5. However, the volume of the food must reach at least 1/5 of the
capacity of the cooking pot.
Warning:
Never cut food directly inside the cooking pot A4.
Never place food directly in the slow cooker unit A5.
■ Clean the top edge of the cooking pot and any other parts, which
have been soiled while the cooking pot was being filled.
■
Prior to inserting the cooking pot into the slow cooker unit A5,
check that its inner part and primarily the heating element A7 and
its surrounds are clean and free of any food residues.
■ Insert the cooking pot into the slow cooker unit. After the cooking
pot is inserted, rotate it to both sides so that it is seated properly
on the heating plate.
Warning:
Never use the slow cooker without the cooking pot
inserted.
The cooking pot may be used in an oven up to the
maximum temperature of 270°C. It must not, however,
be use for cooking or heating on burners or hotplates
of gas, electric or ceramic stoves.
■
Put the lid on to the cooking pot. The slow cooker is now ready
for use.
PREPARING INGREDIENTS AND COOKING TIPS
■
Select the amount of food for cooking so that it does not exceed
the maximum capacity of the cooking pot. Always pour asufficient
amount of water under the food, otherwise due to the lack of
water the slow cooker could overheat before the cooking process
is completed.
■
When preparing whole pieces of meat, pour asufficient amount
of water underneath it. Always trim away excess fat from the meat.
Thoroughly cook all meat, fish and seafood.
■ You can also place frozen meat into the cooking pot, however you
must add approximately 0.2litres of water or stock to it in order to
create athermal inter-layer between the meat and the cooking pot
- 11 - 11/2019 Copyright © 2019, Fast ČR, a.s.
to protect the cooking pot against damage by asudden change in
temperature. At the same time, keep in mind that the cooking time
will be several hours longer.
■
As arule, cut food into equal-sized pieces to ensure that it cooks
evenly.
■ Vegetables such as carrots, onions, turnips, etc. take longer to cook
than meat, therefore cut them into sufficiently small pieces.
■
Allow frozen vegetables to defrost and add them in the last half hour
to hour of cooking. This will ensure that the vegetables retain their
colour and structure. At the same time, the ingredients in the slow
cooker will not be cooled down excessively.
■
Searing meat and frying vegetables in advance separately on
apan will remove apart of the fat from the meat and improve the
appearance and flavour of both meat and vegetables.
■ Milk products such as for example cream, sour cream or yoghurt as
well as pasta tend to shrink and disintegrate during the slow cooking
process, therefore add them at the end.
■
Never cook legumes (e.g. dry beans or lentils) in the slow cooker,
always first soak them for about ten hours in water.
■
Fats such as oils, butter, lard do not need to be used at all, especially
if you wish to adhere to ahealthy diet. If you cannot be without fat,
then 2-3tablespoons of oil based on the number of portions that
you are cooking will be sufficient.
■ During the cooking process, lift the lid as little as possible because
each time the lid is lifted, heat escapes and liquids are evaporated.
If you lift the lid frequently or put it aside when cooking for an
extended period of time, it is necessary to take into consideration
that the slow cooker will automatically extend the cooking time.
OPERATING LOCATION OF THE SLOW COOKER
■ Place the slow cooker on an even, dry, clean and most importantly
stable and heat-resistant surface. In the event that you wish to use
the slow cooker on aheat sensitive countertop, place acutting board
or asimilar heat resistant material underneath it.
■ There must be no items or surfaces in the near vicinity of the slow
cooker that may be damaged by the escaping steam, e.g. walls,
kitchen cabinets, cupboards, paintings, curtains, etc.
■ Position the handles of the slow cooker so that nobody can brush
against them and knock or tilt the slow cooker over, or spill its hot
contents.
TURNING ON AND STAND-BY MODE
■ Connect the power cord plug of the slow cooker to apower socket.
The slow cooker will beep and switch to stand-by mode. The stand-
by mode means that the slow cooker is ready for use. The display is
lit and the individual cooking programs are shown.
■ Set the slow cooker to stand-by mode also by pressing button B5
(Start/Stop) at any time while the slow cooker is running.
CHANGING TEMPERATURE UNITS
■ The default cooking temperature display units are degrees Celsius.
If you wish to change the units to degrees Fahrenheit, hold down
button B4 (Preset) for longer than 3seconds. The slow cooker will
change the units and store your selection in memory.
