Foods suitable for slow cooking and their preparation
Most foods are suitable for slow cooking, but there are a few general principles to follow.
•
Cut the root vegetables into small pieces, since the their cooking takes longer than the meat. It is advisable
to fry the chopped root vegetables briefly (2–3 minutes) prior to slow cooking. Make sure the root
vegetables are always in the bottom of the pot and all ingredients are submerged.
•
Remove any excess fat from the meat before cooking, as the slow cooking method does not allow
browning of the fat.
•
If you are adapting a recipe for conventional cooking, you may need to reduce the amount of water used.
The water does not evaporate from the slow cooker as it does during normal cooking.
•
Never leave uncooked food inside the pot at room temperature.
•
Do not use a slow cooker to heat food.
•
Raw red beans must be soaked and cooked for at least ten minutes to remove toxins before being using
them again.
•
To make sure that the meat is cooked properly, use a meat temperature thermometer.
•
The true ceramic material is fired at high temperatures, so the ceramic vessel may have slight surface
defects, the glass lid may slightly wobble due to this imperfection. Low temperature cooking does not
create steam, which reduces heat loss. After some time of use, a visible change in appearance may occur
on the outside of the appliance due to normal wear and tear.
•
Do not expose the ceramic vessel to sudden changes in temperature. Adding cold water to a very hot pot
could cause it to break.
•
DO NOT SWITCH ON SLOW COOKER IF IT‘S EMPTY OR WITHOUT THE INSERTED CERAMIC VESSEL!
Tips for slow cooking
•
For best results, a slow cooker should be at least half full.
•
In slow cooking, the food remains wonderfully juicy. If you need to reduce the amount of water in the pot,
remove the lid and turn on HIGH for about 30–45 minutes.
