Operating your LCD Slow Cooker
•
Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of the
work surface. Do not use on the floor.
•
Place food and other ingredients into the ceramic pot, and place the pot into
the base. 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.
•
Set the control knob the OFF position before plugging the unit into the
main socket.
•
Switch off and unplug the slow cooker after cooking and remove the crock pot
using oven gloves.
CAUTION:
BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BASE UNIT AFTER COOKING AS IT
REMAINS HOT.
About slow cooking
•
Slow cooking has always been the best way to prepare a nutritious hot meal
with minimum preparation and maximum free time away from the kitchen.
•
Traditionally slow cooking has centered on soups and casseroles but with this
ceramic pot you can also produce most modern family meals and dinner party
dishes. This pot is convenient as well as looking good enough to take straight
to the table for serving. (Always place the ceramic pot on a heat proof mat
or surface).
•
This method of cooking is ideal for preparing tougher cuts of meat, giving
them the long, gentle simmering that ensures that they become tender and
full of flavour.
