it to a sudden change in temperature could cause it to crack.
8After several months of use the glaze on the cooking pot may become crackled: this is common with glazed stoneware and will not affect the efficiency of the curry cooker.
9If you are adapting recipes from conventional cooking you may need to reduce the amount of liquid used. In this cooker, liquid does not evaporate as quickly as with conventional cooking although a certain amount of liquid is necessary to help the transfer of heat.
10Never fill the curry cooker more than 2/3 full.
11Milk products, including cream, sour cream and yoghurt, should be added towards the end of cooking to help combat any curdling that might take place.
12Frozen vegetables such as peas should be thawed and added during the last 1⁄2 - 1 hour of cooking. This will ensure retention of colour and texture in the vegetables and temperature within the pot.
13Best results are achieved when the ingredients are covered in liquid.
14Trim excess fat from meat.
15When cooking whole joints make sure they fit comfortably into the cooking pot and always add liquid. Turn part way through the cooking process.
16Using hot stock will speed up the cooking process.
17To thicken gravy etc., mix some cornflour with a little cold water to form a smooth paste. Add the mixture to the cooking pot towards the end of the cooking time. Cover and cook for additional time until the juices are bubbling and thickened.
