Temperature Control Settings:
Note: Do not use frozen meat. Thaw meat before slow cooking.
LOW: The LOW heat setting gently simmers food for an extended period
of time without overcooking or burning. No stirring is required when
using this setting. Ideal for vegetable dishes and reheating.
Note: When using the LOW setting to cook meat dishes, the meat should be
browned first.
Tip: 1 hour of cooking on HIGH equals 2 to 2 ½ hours on LOW.
HIGH: The HIGH heat setting is ideal for use when cooking dried beans
and pulses. The HIGH setting cooks food in half the time required for
the LOW heat setting. As food will boil when cooked on the HIGH
heat setting, it may be necessary to add extra liquid, depending on
the recipe and the amount of time in which it is cooked. Occasional
stirring of stews and casseroles will improve the flavour distribution.
Monitor food more regularly when cooking on the HIGH setting.
Tips: It’s recommended to use the HIGH setting when you need to cook a tender
cut of meat quickly. Use the LOW setting for tougher cuts – cooking them for longer
gives them more time for the meat to grow tender.
KEEP WARM: The KEEP WARM function allows you to keep the food in your slow
cooker warm and ready to eat, even after cooking. Turn the dial
on the front of your slow cooker to KEEP WARM once cooking has
finished.
CAUTION! Never use the KEEP WARM setting for more than 4 hours.
CAUTION! Do not use the KEEP WARM setting to cook food.
