A general guide on how to make soups and stews in your Multi-Crock
Your Vitaclay Multi-Crock & Stock Pot is, as the name implies, a great tool for making flavorful
and nutritious soups and stews. Always use the
“Slow” mode setting
as the cooking is
gentler than in the “Steam/Fast” mode. Check out recipes in the booklet provided or go online.
To convert a standard crockpot recipe, divide the “low heat setting” cooking time by 4 and
ensure the recipe is one with sufficient liquid.
•
Simply add your ingredients to the clay pot.
•
Place the clay pot lid on the pot (ensure steam plugs are in place), place into to cooker
base and plug in device.
•
Press the “Menu” key to select “Slow” and use the “Timer” Keys ( + /- ) to set cooking
time as per the recipe and the VitaClay Cooking Chart that came with your Multi-Crock.
Most recipes will be done in 2-3 hours.
•
Once the cooking cycle is complete, your Multi-Crock will automatically switch to the
“Warm” mode and hold your perfectly cooked dish for up to 9-1/2 hours.
