will be little heat loss. Due to normal wear and tear through the products
life, the outer surface may start appearing
“crazed”.
Do not put the ceramic pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, and microwave
or on a gas/electrical hob.
Do not subject the ceramic pot to sudden changes in temperature. Adding
cold water to a very hot pot could cause it to crack.
Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (You can leave water
in the pot to soak).
There is an area on the base of the ceramic pot that has to remain
unglazed for manufacturing purposes. This unglazed area is porous,
therefore will soak up water, this should be avoided.
DO NOT SWITCH THE COOKER ON WHEN THE CERAMIC POT IS
EMPTY OR OUT OF THE BASE.
Tips for slow cooking and preparation
The slow cooker must be at least half full for best results.

the pot and the food to allow simmering.
Many recipes demand all day cooking, if you do not have time to prepare
