Getting the best from your new appliance...
Safety
Never touch the outer surface of the slow cooker pan during it’s operation or
before it has cooled down. Use oven gloves when removing the lid or stainless
steel cooking pan.
Efficiency
Removing the lid will allow valuable heat to escape, reducing the efficiency of your
slow cooker and increasing the cooking time. Try not to remove the lid more than
3 or 4 times to stir or add ingredients.
Enjoy the benefits
Slow cooking gives you convenient, versatile and flavoursome food. Longer
cooking times allow better distribution of flavours, giving them time to blend and
season the food. A slow cooker heats food gently, making it a great way to cook
meats, less expensive cuts in particular, such as stewing beef, which are
tenderised through the long cooking process. Remember, there are no limits to
the potential uses of your slow cooker, only your imagination!
