NOTE: Always wear oven gloves when
handling the ceramic bowl after cooking as
it will be hot. Allow the ceramic bowl time
to cool completely before cleaning and
storing it.
Setting the pre-cook Timer
If you wish to start your slow cooking at a
later time then you need to set the delay
timer.
Follow the steps 1-2 as previously
mentioned in the section “operating the
appliance”.
After setting the timer, press the delay
button. You will see the green light
illuminate.
The time in the LED display will be
flashing. Set the amount of hours you
wish to delay the timer by using the up
and down buttons. For example if you
wanted the slow cooker to start cooking
at 3pm and it was 9am in the morning
you would set the time delay to 6 hours.
Press the Start/Cancel button to begin
the operation.
The hours until cooking time will be
displayed in the LED display and will
begin to count down. The cooking will
begin once the countdown reaches
zero.
To cancel the operation at anytime
press and hold the Start/Cancel button
again.
Slow cooking general advice
Slow cooking has always been the best
way to prepare a nutritious hot meal
with minimum preparation and fuss.
The types of meals that are associated
with slow cooking have always been
soups and casseroles, but with the
ceramic pot you can also make most
modern family meals and dinner party
dishes. This pot is convenient as well
as stylish enough to take straight to
the table for serving. (Always place the
ceramic pot on a heat proof mat or
surface).
Slow cooking is ideal for cooking
tougher cuts of meat, as it gives them
long, gentle simmering that ensures
that they become tender and full of
flavour.
Preparation and suitable slow cooked
foods:
Most foods are suited to slow cooking
methods, however there are a few
guidelines that need to be followed:
Cut vegetables into small, even pieces
as they take longer to cook than meat.
They should be gently sautéed for 2-3
minutes before slow cooking. Ensure
that root vegetables are always placed
at the bottom of the pot and all
ingredients are immersed in the
cooking liquid.
