HINTS AND TIPS

Trim all visible fat from meat or poultry.

If a recipe calls for browning the meat, it may be browned in the EasySear™ pan on the gas, electric or ceramic stovetop.

Meat and poultry require at least 6 to 7 hours of cooking on Low setting or 3 to 4 hours on High setting.

Ensure that the food or liquid to be cooked fills half to ¾ of the EasySear™ pan.

If after cooking the liquid quantity is excessive, remove the lid and operate the slow cooker with EasySear™ pan on the High setting for 30 to 45 minutes or until the liquid reduces by the desired amount. Alternatively, the liquid can be thickened by adding a mixture of cornflour and water and cooking on High setting without the lid until sauce has thickened.

DO’S

Always thaw frozen meat and poultry before cooking.

Use dry oven mitts when lifting the lid or removable EasySear™ pan after searing or slow cooking.

Place the EasySear™ pan onto a heat proof mat if serving from the EasySear™ pan at the table.

To keep foods warm for serving, turn control to the Low setting until ready to serve.

DONT’S

Do not operate the slow cooker without the EasySear™ pan in position in the slow cooker base.

Do not cook with frozen meats or poultry.

Do not remove the glass lid from the slow cooker unnecessarily as this will result in major heat loss.

Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. However, if cooking on the High setting, stirring occasionally will help to distribute flavours throughout the recipe.

Do not use High setting if you intend on being away from home for more than 3 hours.

NEVER

Place water or other liquids into the slow cooker base of the Flavour Saver.

Immerse the slow cooker base, power cord, or power plug in water or any other liquid.

Touch hot surfaces with bare hands.

Deep fry in the EasySear™ pan.
