7 Using The Slow Cooker
Do not use the Ceramic pot or Lid if chipped, cracked, or
severely scratched.
•
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
ceramic pot using oven gloves.
CAUTION
: BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BASE UNIT
AFTER COOKING AS IT REMAINS HOT.
•
Never heat the Ceramic pot when empty or place the Ceramic pot
on a burner or stovetop or in an oven or microwave oven.
•
Do not place the Lid on a burner or stovetop or in an oven or
microwave oven.
•
Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. However, if cooking on
High, you may want to stir occasionally.
•
Slow cooking retains most of the moisture in the ingredients. If there
is too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the cover,
turn the Control Knob to High, and reduce the liquid by simmering.
This will take 30 to 45 minutes.
•
The Slow Cooker should be at least half-filled for best results. Do
Not Over fill.
