A guide to slow cooking
Slow cooking provides meals that are full of flavour, moist and tender, whilst
leaving you time to do other things – perfect for today’s busy lifestyles.
As most food is cooked over a period of 6-10 hours, it can be prepared in
advance the evening before and refrigerated in the removable crock pot, to be
turned on the next day. There’s nothing better than to return home to find a
delicious hot meal awaiting! Slow cooking occurs at a temperature just below
boiling point, causing little steam or evaporation. As the temperature is low,
almost no sticking occurs and very little stirring is required.
The Slow Cooker can operate on LOW all day or night if required.
To help simplify the process of slow cooking please find some useful hints & tips
below.
Using your Rosemary Conley Slow Cooker
For hygiene reasons we recommend that you wash the ceramic crock pot in hot
soapy water, then rinse and dry before use.
Ensure that the product is placed on a flat work surface. Plug the power lead into
a mains socket and switch on the appliance.
Add the ingredients according to your recipe, using boiling liquid.
Turn the control knob to the chosen setting:
LOW:
to gradually cook throughout the day or night.
HIGH:
to cook approximately twice the speed of low.
AUTO:
the Slow Cooker will cook on HIGH until a sufficiently high temperature
is reached, then atomatically switch to LOW for the remainder of the
cooking time.
TIMING
Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook. Don’t be worried about
overcooking as this is almost impossible, particularly when using the Auto
setting.
It is easy to adapt your favourite recipes simply by halving the amount of liquid
and increasing the cooking time considerably. See the following guide for
suggested cooking times and settings when adjusting your favourite recipes:
