SHORTENING COOKING TIMES
1. If smaller quantities of food are cooked in the Slow Cooker, than
we recommend in recipes you will need to adjust the cooking time. For
example, if you use half the recipe quantity the cooking time would be
reduced to approximately two thirds. A casserole normally which could
be cooked for 10 hours on Low setting would be ready to eat after 7
hours.
2. Root vegetables should be cut up into small pieces to ensure that
they cook evenly. To ensure vegetables are properly cooked in the time
required, cook for a couple of minutes after browning meat . Always
ensure root vegetables are placed in the lower part of the cooking pot
and are always covered with stock or other liquid.
3. For your own recipes, browning meat first in the cooking pot will
reduce cooking times but also help seal in meat juices and prevent
separation of fat. If meat is not sealed first, the end result may not be as
good and between one and two hours would need to be added to the
cooking time.
4. Food will start cooking more quickly if stock, water and wine are hot
when added to the cooking pot.
5. We recommend that meat and vegetables for slow cooking should
be at room temperature rather than used straight from the refrigerator
as the cooking process will start more quickly. If using chilled
ingredients cooking times will be longer.
6. Dishes cooked on the High setting take less time to cook than the
same dish cooked on the Low setting.
EXTENDING COOKING TIMES (1/2)
1. At the end of the set cooking time, the Slow Cooker will
automatically switch to a 2 hour Keep Warm setting. For example, a
casserole timed to cook for 10 hours will keep warm without detriment
to the food for a further two hours.
2. When using your own recipes, you can use the Slow Cooker timer to
suit your own arrangements. For example, food may be prepared first
thing in the morning and be ready on your return home.You can use the
timer to cook food as desired but still have the flexibility of the 2 hour
keep warm period, should you be later returning than expected.
