cooked. Food should be monitored when using the HIGH setting.
REMOVING THE POT
1. Disconnect the slow cooker from the mains supply.
2. Using oven gloves, carefully remove the glass lid by grasping the lid knob and lifting the lid slightly away from you.
This will allow the steam to escape before removing the lid. Allow a few seconds for all steam to escape.
3. Allow the Slow Cooker to cool completely before cleaning. Refer to the Care & Cleaning Instructions.
4. When the appliance is OFF and unplugged, the Slow Cooker base unit and ceramic pot will remain hot for some time
after use. Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning or storing.
HINTS FOR SLOW COOKING
• Less tender, cheaper cuts of meat are better candidates for slow cooking than more expensive cuts.
• Meats will not brown during the slow cooking process. Browning fatty meats will reduce the amount of fat and help to
preserve color while adding richer flavor. Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet and brown meats prior to putting into the
ceramic pot.
• Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.
• When cooking in a Slow Cooker, remember that liquids do not boil away like they do in conventional cooking. Reduce
the amount of liquid in any recipe that is not designed for a Slow Cooker. The exceptions to this rule would be rice and
soups. Remember, liquids can always be added at a later time if necessary. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the
end of the cooking time, remove the cover and re-program the Slow Cooker to continue to cook HIGH for 1 hour. Check
every 15 minutes until the amount of liquid is reduced. Turn OFF when the desired consistency is achieved.
• Most recipes that call for uncooked meat and vegetables require about 6 to 8 hours on LOW temperature setting.
• The higher the fat content, the less liquid needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, use thick onion slices under it
so that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat. If necessary, use a slice of bread, a spoon, or a straining spoon to skim
off excess fat from top of foods before serving.
• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole such as roast or poultry.
• Always use a meat thermometer to determine if meats have been cooked to proper temperature.
• Root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips and beets require longer cooking time than many meats. Place them
on the bottom of the Slow Cooker and cover with liquid. Check to see they are fork-tender when meat temperature is
reached. Remove meat and continue cooking vegetables if necessary.
• Add fresh dairy products (milk) sour cream or yogurt prior to serving. Evaporated milk or condensed creamed soups
may be added at the start of cooking.
• Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods. Cook them separately and then add to the
Slow Cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
