When cooking joints of meat, ham, poultry etc,
the size and shape of the joint is important. Try to
keep the joint in the lower 2/3 of the pot. If
necessary, cut into two pieces. Joint weight
should be kept within the maximum limit of 1.5kg.
•
For ham and brisket fill with hot water to cover
2/3 of the depth of the joint. For beef, pork or
poultry cover to 1/3 depth.
After food is cooked, switch off and leave covered
with the lid. There will be enough heat in the
ceramic pot to keep warm for 30 minutes. If you
require longer to keep warm, switch to the low
setting.
•
Pre-brown meat and onions in a pan to seal in the
juices, this also reduces the fat content if
separated before adding to the ceramic pot. This
is not necessary if the time is limited, but
improves the flavour.
