A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO SLOW COOKING

NOTE

High humidity, altitude, cold tap water, ingredients and minor fluctuations may slightly affect the cooking times in the slow cooker with EasySear™ pan.

Low Setting

The Low setting gently simmers food for an extended period of time without overcooking or burning. No stirring is required when using this setting.

High Setting

The High setting will cook food in approximately half the time required for the Low setting. Some foods may boil when cooked on the high setting, so it may be necessary to add extra liquid. This will depend on the recipe and the amount of time in which it is cooked. Occasional stirring of stews and casseroles will improve flavour distribution.

The High setting in this slow cooker cooks considerably faster than the auto or low settings and can be used if time is a constraint. Simply place your favourite meal on High for 3 to 4 hours and you will have a cooked meal in a fraction of the time.

ROASTING IN THE slow cooker

Roasting meats in the Flavour Maker creates tender, flavoursome results. The long, slow, covered cooking process breaks down and softens the connective and muscle tissue within the meat, making it easier to slice. Cheaper cuts of meat can be used to provide perfect results cooked by this method.

Meat will not brown during the slow cooking process, so for browner results sear in the EasySear™ pan on the stovetop first before placing back into the slow cooker base.

The addition of liquid is not required for roasting. Elevate the meat to be cooked on the provided stainless steel rack. This will assist in keeping the surface of the meat dry and free from any fat released throughout the cooking process.

Auto Setting

The Auto setting will begin cooking on High and then will shift to Low after approximately 2 hours of cooking time for added ease and simplicity.

POT ROASTING IN THE

SLOW COOKER

The addition of liquid is required for pot roasting. Place sufficient liquid into the removable EasySear™ pan to cover up to a third of the meat. Meat will not brown during the pot roasting process, so for browner results sear in the EasySear™ pan on the stovetop first before placing back into the slow cooker base for pot roasting.
