Slow cooking guide:
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 crock 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.

and quantities in the recipes.
Note:

hours on LOW.
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 WARM 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.
Adapting cooking times for traditional recipes:
Your favourite traditional recipes can be adapted easily, by halving the amount of
the liquid and increasing the cooking time considerably.
