An Introduction to Slow Cooking

Slow cooking is one of the best ways of preparing foods to ensure that the flavour and tenderness is retained. Your new slow cooker is easy to use and is extremely versatile. You can cook soups, stews, casseroles, roasts, bake desserts and even steam puddings.

Slow cooking is also economical, as your new slow cooker uses very little power. Once the slow cooker reaches the selected temperature, the food cooks using the heat retained in the crock insert.

Your slow cooker is ideal for cooking tougher cuts of meat as the slow, moist heat tenderises it and enhances the flavours.

Your slow cooker is also very safe for keeping foods heated, as it operates at temperatures high enough to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

Using your Slow Cooker

1.Before using your Sunbeam slow cooker for the first time, remove the crock insert and lid and wash them in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly and replace.

2.Place the slow cooker on a flat level surface.

3.Prepare the food to be cooked and place inside the slow cooker. Replace the lid.

4.Insert the plug into a 230-240V power outlet and turn the power ON.

5.Select the desired setting on the temperature control dial: LOW, HIGH, or KEEP WARM. The power on light will illuminate to indicate that the appliance is switched on.

Note: Do not place very cold or frozen food in the crock insert if it has been preheated as this may cause the crock insert to crack.

Note: Transfer cooked food from the crock insert into an airtight container before storing in fridge or freezer.

Note: Do not place the crock insert under cold water if it is still hot.

Note: The crock insert is oven safe so you can reheat your precooked dishes in an oven preheated to no more than 160ºC.

Important: Food should not be cooked on the KEEP WARM setting as this will not get hot enough to cook. This setting should only be used to keep hot, cooked food warm for serving.
