Pre-browning meat and onions in a pan to seal in the juices also reduces the fat
content before adding to the ceramic pot. This improves the flavor but is not
necessary if time is limited.
When cooking joints of meat, ham, and poultry etc the size and shape of the joint
is important. Try to keep the joint in the lower 2/3 of the pot and fully cover with
water. If necessary, cut in two pieces. Joint weight should be kept within the
maximum limit.

DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances
must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to
optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain, and reduce the
impact on human health and the environment.
