setting guidelines

The following times are a guide only and will vary according to the type of food being cooked and quantities.

low setting will gradually cook food during the day and takes approximately 6-8 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 3-5 hours.

keep warm setting Ð Use this setting once food has been cooked to keep food warm. We recommend that food is not kept warm for longer than 2 hours after cooking and then switch off after use. Taking the lid off will reduce the temperature inside the cooking pot so keep this to a minimum and replace the lid quickly.

hints on using your slow 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. Do not prepare food in advance and then leave out of the refrigerator.

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.
