Advice on getting the best out of your slow cooker
• Vegetables stew slowly, so therefore they have to be cut up into small or medium size pieces and
placed at the bottom of the cooking pot.
• Do not fill the slow cooker’s cooking pot more than three quarters full.
• Meats can be precooked, browned or grilled to get rid of as much fat as possible.
• DO NOT USE FROZEN MEAT.
• DEFROST ALL MEATS BEFORE COOKING THEM IN THE SLOW COOKER.
• You can brown minced meat , like beef or turkey meat, before putting them in the slow cooker, in
order to remove the excess fat and so reduce the risk of food poisoning,.
• Unplug the slow cooker when it is not in use or before cleaning it.
• Always wear oven gloves when the slow cooker is hot and you wish to move it.
• Always make sure the lid is on during cooking.
• Use aromatic herbs that are fresh or dried rather than in powder form because they release their
flavours better during slow cooking.
• Fresh produce such as milk or cheese, must be added at the end of the cooking process, unless your
recipe specifies otherwise.
• Avoid sudden changes in temperatures. For example, do not add food which has just come out of
the freezer directly into the hot slow cooker .
• Always place some form of protection under the cooking pot before placing it on a table or work
surface.
• Do not put anything under the appliance during the cooking process.
• Let your cooking pot cool down before you clean it in order to avoid sudden changes in temperature
which might damage it.
• Do not put the cooking pot close to an inflammable substance or object when it is hot.
• Always use oven gloves when you need to open the lid - fig. 8.
