OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GUIDE TO SLOW COOKING

Always allow sufficient time for the food

to cook. It is almost impossible to

overcook food in a slow cooker,

particularly when using the low or warm

settings. Most recipes contained within

this book can be cooked on any one of

the temperature settings, however

cooking times will vary accordingly.

Each recipe in this book will give

specific instructions indicating the

appropriate temperature setting as well

as the suggested cooking times.

GUIDE TO SLOW COOKING

Your favorite traditional recipes can be

adapted easily by halving the amount

of liquid and increasing the cooking time

considerably. See the guide below for

suggested cooking times and settings

when adjusting your favorite recipes.

Note: These times are approximate.

Times can vary depending on

ingredients and quantities in recipes.

All food should be cooked with the glass

lid in place. Each time the lid is lifted,

both the heat and moisture in the food

are lost. Cooking times should thus be

extended by approximately 30 minutes.

LIQUID AMOUNTS

When food is cooking in your slow

cooker, very little moisture boils away.

To compensate this, it is advisable to

halve the liquid content of traditional

recipes. However, if after cooking, the

liquid content is excessive, remove the

lid and operate the slow cooker on the

high setting for 30-45 minutes or until

the liquid reduces by the desired

amount.

STIRRING FOOD

Little or no stirring is required when using

the low or warm setting. When using the

high setting, stirring ensures even flavor

distribution.

cooked.

TIPS FOR SLOW COOKING

•

The cover of the slow cooker does not

form a tight fit on the ceramic pot but

should be centered on the ceramic pot

for best results. Do not remove the

glass cover unnecessarily - this will

result in major heat loss. Do not cook

without the glass cover in place.

• Stirring is not normally needed when

using a slow cooker. However, if cooking

on high, you may want to stir occasionally.

• Slow cooking retains most of the

moisture in foods. If a recipe results in

too much liquid at the end of the cooking

time, remove glass cover, set the cooking

mode to "High", and reduce the liquid by

simmering. This will take 30-45 minutes.

• The slow cooker should be at least half-

filled for best results.

• If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch

space between the top of the ceramic pot

and the food so that the food may be

allowed to simmer.

• Many recipes call for cooking all day. You

can also prepare the recipe the night

before by placing all ingredients in the

ceramic pot, cover and refrigerate

overnight. In the morning, simply place

the ceramic pot in the slow cooker and

select the temperature setting.
