GETTING THE
BEST FROM
YOUR NEW SLOW
COOKER
Safety:
Never touch the outer
enclosure of the slow cooker
during its operation or before it
has cooled down. Use oven
gloves when removing the lid or
crock pot.
Efficiency:
Removing the lid will
allow valuable heat to escape,
reducing the efficiency of your
slow cooker and increasing the
cooking time. If you remove the
lid more than a couple of times
to stir or add ingredients then
you will need to allow 10-15
minutes extra cooking time each
time you remove the lid.
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, in
particular less-expensive cuts,
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!
