Preparation
• Some of the recipes call for meat to be browned and/or vegetables to be sautéed.
Do this in a pan – not in the ceramic bowl. Do not use the ceramic bowl for cooking
anywhere other than inside the slow cooker.
• Thaw frozen food completely before adding to the ceramic bowl.
• Do not cook on the low setting without first preheating the ceramic bowl in the slow
cooker on High, for at least 20 minutes.
• Soak dried peas and beans for 8 hours (or overnight) before cooking, to soften them.
WARNING: Dried beans (e.g. red kidney beans) must be boiled for at least 10
minutes before being added to the slow cooker. They are poisonous if eaten raw
or undercooked.
• Lentils do not need soaking overnight.
• Store ingredients prepared beforehand (e.g. the night before) in a refrigerator. Do not
put the slow cooker or the ceramic bowl in the refrigerator.
• Root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions etc) take much longer to cook that meat.
Cut them into 5mm slices, sticks or dice. If possible, sauté gently for 2-3 minutes before
adding to the ceramic bowl.
• Dried vegetables must be immersed in the cooking liquid.
• When cooking with rice, use at least 150ml of cooking liquid for each 100g of rice.
• Pasta is not suitable for slow cooking – it will become too soft. If your recipe requires
pasta, it should be stirred in 30-40 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
General use
• Decide when you want to eat and when you want to start cooking.
• Find a recipe that suits your timings. If you want to eat at 6pm and you need to start
cooking at 8am, find a recipe that takes about 10 hours.
• Prepare the food as described in the recipe.
TIP: Cut food into similar sized pieces to ensure food is evenly cooked.
• Sit the slow cooker on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface and out of reach of
children.
• Connect to the wall power outlet and switch the outlet on.
• Turn the switch on the slow cooker to High setting and allow to preheat for 20 minutes.
• Remove the lid and place the food in the ceramic bowl.
• Replace the lid.
• Turn the switch on the slow cooker to the required setting for cooking (Low, High or
Auto).
NOTE: A recipe that takes 10 hours would only ever be cooked using Low setting.
• At the end of the cooking time, turn the switch to Off.
• Using oven gloves remove the lid from the slow cooker and set it on a heat proof
surface.
• Serve the food.
TIP: Cleaning can be made much easier if you remove all the cooked food from the
ceramic bowl, then fill it with warm water (see ‘Care and Maintenance’).
