GUIDE TO ADAPTING RECIPES 

This guide is designed to help you adapt recipes for the Slow Cooker - your own favourites and prized recipes collected 

from friends, food companies, newspapers and magazines. Our aim is to save preparation time with fewer steps and less 

dirty dishes and to keep cooking simple. In most cases all ingredients can go into your Slow Cooker in the beginning and 

cook all day. Many of the normal preparatory steps are unnecessary when using the Slow Cooker.
A few hints:
•  Allow sufficient cooking time.
•  Cook with the lid on.
•  Do not add as much water as some recipes indicate.
•  Remember that liquids do not boil away as in conventional cooking. Usually at the end of the cooking, you will have 

more liquid than less.

•  This is one-step cooking: many steps in recipes can be deleted. Add ingredients to the stoneware cooking pot at one 

time, adding liquid last, then cook for 8 - 10 hours.

•  Vegetables do not overcook as they do when boiled on the hob or in the oven. Therefore everything can go into the 

slow cooker at one time. 

•  Milk, soured cream or cream should be added during the last hour of cooking.

Time guide

Most uncooked meat and vegetable combinations will require at least 8 hours on LOW.

3 to 4 hours

50 minutes to 3 hours

8 to 10 hours

4 to 6 hours

PASTA AND RICE

If a recipe calls for pasta or macaroni etc, add during the last hour of cooking. If rice is required, stir in with other 

ingredients. Add 60ml cup of extra liquid per 60ml cup of raw rice. Use long grain rice for best results.

LIQUIDS

Use less in slow cooking - usually about half the recommended amount. 250ml of liquid is usually enough, unless it contains 

rice or pasta.

SAUTÉING MEAT, POULTRY AND VEGETABLES

By using your ETC stoneware on your hob you will easily be able to sauté your favourite meats, poultry and vegetables 

prior to slow cooking. As with most slow cooker recipes this isn’t always necessary, but does add extra flavour to your 

finished dish.

HERBS AND SPICES

Fresh herbs add flavor and colour when added at the end of the cooking cycle but for dishes with shorter cooktimes, hearty, 

fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme hold up well. If added at beginning, the flavour of many fresh herbs will dissipate 

over long cook times. Ground and/or dried herbs and spices work well in slow cooking and may be added at beginning, but 

use sparingly and taste at end of cook cycle and correct the seasoning. The flavour of all herbs and spices can vary greatly 

depending on their particular strength and shelf life and so it is always recommended to taste and adjust the seasoning just 

before serving.

MILK

Milk, cream and soured cream tend to breakdown during extended cooking. When possible, add during the last hour of 

cooking. Condensed soups may be substituted and can cook for extended times.

SOUPS

Some soup recipes call for 2 - 3 litres of water. Add other ingredients to the stoneware cooking pot, then add the water 

only to cover. If thinner soup is desired, add more liquid at serving time. If milk based recipes have no other liquid for initial 

cooking, add 1 or 2 cups of water. Then during the final hour add milk or cream as required.
