The following times are a guide only and will vary according to the type of food being cooked
Low Setting will gradually cook food during the day and takes approximately 6 hours. This setting can also be used when cooking more delicate foods which would benefit from a slightly lower rate of cooking such as baked apples, poached fruit.
High Setting will quicken up the cooking process compared to the Low setting with cooking times between 3 and 4 hours.
Keep Warm Setting – Use this setting once food has been cooked to keep food warm. We recommend that food is not kept warm for longer than 1 hour after cooking and then switch off after use.
hints on using your curry cooker
1Prepare and use ingredients at room temperature rather than straight from the refrigerator.
However ingredients such as meat and fish should not be left out of the refrigerator for longer than is necessary, so remove from the refrigerator just to take the chill off and keep covered with cling film or plastic wrap.
2Cut root vegetables such as carrots, onions, swedes etc into fairly small pieces as they take longer to cook than meat.
3Cut each type of ingredient into even sized pieces, this will assist with even cooking.
4Browning the meat and sauteing the vegetables first in a separate pan will help to remove a certain amount of fat from the meat and also improve the appearance and flavour of both meat and vegetables. However this is not essential.
5Do not lift the lid more than necessary during cooking as this will cause loss of heat and evaporation of liquid. It may be necessary depending upon how often the lid is removed and for how long, to allow an extra 20 minutes to half an hour cooking time.
6Cooking always takes place in the cooking pot. Never place food directly into the base unit.
7Never plunge the hot cooking pot into cold water immediately after use or pour boiling water into an empty cold cooking pot. Subjecting
