Your Slow Cook Oven
Introduction
One of your oven compartments is an electric oven which provides a gentle heat
suitable for slow cooking or keeping food warm. The oven is operated by a but-
ton at the right hand of the fascia, and a red neon will illuminate to show that the
oven is switched on. Please check which side the slow cook oven is on, by look-
ing at the specification at the front of this handbook.
The slow cook element is positioned in the base of the lower compartment - always
make sure that the prepared cooking pot is placed centrally on the base of this
compartment.
Do not use either compartment to store food or canned items.
Do not use the upper compartment for slow cooking, or food warming.
Cooking times
The cooking time varies according to the type of food being cooked, and experi-
ence will show how long foods should be cooked for, according to personal taste
and preference.
In general foods should be cooked for at least 5 hours, and may be left up to 8 -
10 hours without spoiling if covered. As a guide, foods cooked using the slow cook
oven will take about three times longer than they would in a conventional oven.
Utensils
Any oven proof utensils may be used for slow cooking, provided they have a close
fitted lid.
To rectify a badly fitting lid a piece of cooking foil may be placed over the dish,
under the lid.
For convenience and to save washing up, the most useful utensils for slow cook-
ing are the flame proof type which can be used over direct heat and for oven cook-
ing, and are sufficiently attractive to use as serving dishes.
