Slow cooking guide:
As most food is cooked over a period of 6-9 hours, it can be prepared in advance
the evening before, refrigerated in the removable crock pot, placed in the slow
cooker and switched on in the morning and left to cook all day.
When you arrive home a delicious, hot meal will await you. The guide below
will help simplify the process of slow cooking, allowing you to obtain ultimate
satisfaction from your slow cooker.
Traditional Recipe Time Slow Cooker on LOW Slow Cooker on HIGH
15 – 30 minutes 4 – 6 hours 1 ½ - 2 hours
35 - 45 minutes 6 – 10 hours 3 – 4 hours
50 minutes – 3 hours 8 – 18 hours 4 – 6 hours
Note: These times are approximate. Times can vary depending on the ingredients
and quantities in the recipes.
Note: Most uncooked meat and vegetable combinations will require at least 8 hours
on LOW.
Timing:
Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook.
It is almost impossible to overcook in the slow cooker, particularly when using the
LOW or WARM setting. Most recipes can be cooked on any one of the temperature
settings; however, cooking times will vary accordingly. Each recipe will give specific
instructions, indicating the appropriate temperature setting accompanied by the
suggested cooking times to use.
Adapting cooking times for traditional recipes:
Your favourite traditional recipes can be adapted easily, by halving the amount of
liquid and increasing the cooking time considerably.
General Tips for Slow Cooking:
• Do not pre-heat the slow cooker before adding ingredients.
• For best results, the Three Pot Slow Cooker should be filled at least halfway.
• Do not fill the cooking pots to more than three-quarters full. Note: Do not over
fill the appliance or it will not cook as well as it should.
• Spray the inside of the cooking pots with non-stick cooking spray for easy clean
up.
• The Removable Ceramic Cooking Pots are ovenproof and microwave safe.
• Do not use Removable Ceramic Cooking Pots on gas or electric burners or
under the broiler.
• Do not use the lids in the microwave or oven.
• Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a specific
recipe.
