HOW TO USE (cont.)
TIPS:
• The slow cooker must be at least half full for best results.
• Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce
moisture in the cooker, remove the lid after cooking and
turn the control to high; simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.
• The lid is not a sealed t. Don’t unnecessarily remove as the
heat will escape. Each time you remove the lid, allow an
additional 10 minutes of cooking time.
• If cooking soups, leave a 5cm space between the top of the
cook pot and the food surface to allow simmering.
• Many recipes demand all day cooking; if you do not have
time to prepare food that morning prepare it the night
before and store in the refrigerator.
• Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on low,
4-6 hours on high and 5-7 hours on medium.
• Some foods are not suitable for slow cooking. Pasta, dairy,
and seafood should be added towards the end of cooking.
• Many things affect how quickly food will cook: water, fat
content, initial temperature of the food, & size of the food.
• Food cut into small pieces will cook quicker. Some trial and
error will be required to fully optimize your slow cooker.
• Vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat; try
arranging vegetables in the lower half of the pot.
• After food is cooked, switch cooker off and leave covered
with the lid. There will be enough heat to keep warm for 30
minutes. If you require longer to keep warm switch to low.
• All food in the crock pot should be completely covered with
a liquid, gravy or sauce. Prepare liquids in a separate pan.
• Pre-brown meat and onions in a pan to seal in the juices &
reduce fat content before adding to the crock pot. This is
not necessary, but improves the avor.
• When cooking joints of meat, ham, poultry, etc., the size
and shape of the joint is important. Keep the joint in the
lower 2/3 of the pot and fully cover with water. If necessary,
cut in two pieces. Keep within the maximum limit.
CAUTION:
Never submerge the
entire slow cooker
into water or any
other liquid as this
may damage it.
Do not use harsh
abrasive cleaner or
scouring pad to clean
any part of the slow
cooker as this will
damage the surfaces.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• Always make sure the slow cooker is unplugged, in the OFF
position, and cooled before storing away or cleaning.
• The stoneware insert is dishwasher safe or can be cleaned
with warm soapy water.
• To remove foods stuck at the bottom of the pot, soak
overnight in soapy water and rinse the next day.
• The exterior of the slow cooker can be wiped with a damp
cloth and dried.
