Guide To Slow Cooking
In years gone by, food was cooked in large pots and allowed to simmer for hours, providing meals that were full of
flavour, moist and tender. The slow cooker is designed to produce the same result, while leaving you the time to do
other things, making it perfect for today’s busy lifestyles.
As most food is cooked over a period of 6-9 hours, it can be prepared in advance the evening before, refrigerated in
the removable crockery pot, placed in the slow cooker and switched on in the morning and left to cook all day. When
you arrive home a delicious, hot meal will await you. The guide below will help simplify the process of slow cooking,
allowing you to obtain ultimate satisfaction from your slow cooker.
It’s all in the timing
Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook, It is almost impossible to overcook in the slow cooker, particularly when
using the LOW or AUTO setting. Most recipes can be cooked on any one of the temperature settings; however the
cooking times will vary accordingly. Each recipe will give specific instructions, indicating the appropriate temperature
setting accompanied by the suggested cooking times to use.
