HOW TO USE
OPERATION:
1. Place the slow cooker base on a dry, level, heat resistant
surface, away from the edge of the work surface. Do not use
on the oor.
2. Make sure the control knob is set to the OFF position.
3. Place food and other ingredients into the ceramic cooking
pot, and place the pot into the base.
4. Cover with the glass lid. If you need to pre-cook or brown
foods prior to slow cooking, this must be done in a pan. Do
not try to brown or pre-cook food in the slow cooker.
5. Plug the unit into a power outlet.
6. Select the setting you wish to cook or keep food warm.
7. Avoid lifting the glass lid too often during cooking.
8. When cooking is complete, set to OFF position & unplug.
9. Remove the stoneware pot using oven mitts/gloves for
serving or transfer food to a serving bowl.
10. Always wait for the appliance to cool down before washing.
SUITABLE FOODS FOR SLOW COOKING & PREPARATION:
• Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods, however
there are a few guidelines that need to be followed.
• Due to the small size of the slow cooker, it is recommended
to use for sauces, dips or other foods in small quantities.
• Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take
longer to cook than meat. Sautée them for 2-3 minutes
before slow cooking. Place them at the bottom of the pot.
• Ensure all ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid.
• Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, since the slow
cooking method does not allow fat to evaporate.
• If adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking,
you may need to cut down on the amount of liquid used.
Liquid will not evaporate from the slow cooker the same.
• Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the
slow cooker.
• Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.
• Uncooked red beans must be soaked and boiled for at least
10 minutes to remove toxins before use in a slow cooker.
• Authentic stoneware is red at high temperatures therefore
the stoneware pot may have minor surface blemishes, the
glass lid may rock slightly due to these imperfection. Low
heat cooking does not produce steam so there will be little
heat loss. Due to normal wear and tear, the outer surface
may start appearing “crazed”.
• Do not put the stoneware pot or glass lid in an oven,
freezer, and microwave or on a gas/electrical hob.
• Do not subject the stoneware pot to sudden changes in
temperature. Adding cold water to a very hot pot could
cause it to crack.
NOTE:
Do not place hot glass
lid in cold water or a
cold counter surface.
The sudden difference
in temperature may
cause the tempered
glass to shatter.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to
touch the base unit
after cooking as it will
remain hot.
