GENERAL USE
• Decide when you want to eat and when you want to start cooking.
• Find a recipe that suits your timings. If you want to eat at 6pm and you need to start
cooking at 8am, nd a recipe that takes about 10 hours.
• Prepare the food as described in the recipe.
TIP: Cut food into similar sized pieces to ensure food is evenly cooked.
• Sit the slow cooker on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface and out of reach of children.
• Connect to the wall power outlet and switch the outlet on.
• Remove the lid and place the food in the ceramic bowl.
• Replace the lid.
• Turn the dial to the desired heat setting.
NOTE: Do not use the WARM setting to cook.
NOTE: A recipe that takes 10 hours would only ever be cooked using LOW setting.
• When cooking time is done, either turn the control knob to WARM or switch the appliance
OFF. Do not keep foods on the WARM setting for more than 4 hours.
• Using oven gloves remove the lid from the slow cooker and set it on a heat proof surface.
• Serve the food.
• Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow the slow cooker to completely cool
before cleaning.
TIP: Cleaning can be made much easier if you remove all the cooked food from the
ceramic bowl, then fill it with warm water (see ‘Care and Maintenance’).
RECIPES
There are a few recipes in this book to get you started.
Use them initially to familiarise yourself with the capabilities of your slow cooker. Then using them as
a guide, vary the ingredients, vary the quantities and taste the results. Keep notes, write down what
changes you make, and you will quickly build up a range of recipes which suit your taste.
To adapt your own recipes for the slow cooker, we suggest you nd a recipe which uses similar
ingredients and use that as a guide for timing and liquid quantity, along with the food preparation
guidelines given earlier.
NOTE: Be careful with quantities – once all the initial ingredients are put in the ceramic
bowl, it shouldn’t be more than ¾ full, to allow for expansion.
