With your Cooker you can create a large
variety of delicious meals, snacks and
desserts. Various foods take different times
to cook perfectly, so sometimes it may take
some trial and error to get the cooking times
right for you.
• Please refer to your Cooker user guide
when using your Cooker.
• Never fill the Cooking Pot past the MAX line.
• Do not leave Cooker plugged in when not in
use.
• Make sure Cooker is kept away from
cabinets and walls when in use.
• The Cooking Pot is designed to be used
only in this Cooker. Do not use on stovetop,
in microwave, or in oven.
• The provided Steaming Rack is designed
to be used in this Cooker. It should not
damage the surface of the Cooking Pot.
• When removing the Lid, use a pot holder
to grasp the Lid Handle and lift away from
your body to allow steam to escape.
• Always place a trivet or pot holder under
the Cooking Pot if it is removed from the
Heating Base.
• If you are slow cooking, you can use the
BROWN/SEAR or SAUTÉ functions first,
which allows you to sear meats and
vegetables at the beginning but also allows
you to thicken sauces and make gravies
at the end. Browning meat prior to slow
cooking not only gives your food great
colour, but it also seals in the juices and
flavours and keeps the meat tender.
• To thicken a casserole at the end of
cooking, use the SIMMER function and stir
a small amount of corn flour with water.
Allow to simmer, stirring until thickened.
• It is not uncommon for meat to cook faster
than root vegetables. It is for this reason
that we recommend chopping all vegetables
to a similar small size. Meat can be cut into
larger chunks because if it is cut too small,
it will break up once cooked and tenderized.
• When using the SLOW COOK function, the
Cooker does not recover lost heat quickly,
so using the glass lid is a great way to
monitor the cooking progress without
having to remove the lid. Different cuts and
thickness of meats and vegetables can vary
cooking times.
• Slow Cooking reduces evaporation,
resulting in the flavours and juices being
maintained. Keep this in mind when
creating your own recipes, as you may not
require as much liquid as you would when
using other cooking methods.
