USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using the slow cooker for the first time

Remove all labels and tags from the product.

Wash the crock pot and glass lid in hot soapy water with a sponge or a dish cloth, rinse thoroughly and dry.

AUTO/DEFROST Setting:

The AUTO/DEFROST setting allows the user to set the slow cooker to cook frozen food for the day and be ready to server 8-10 hours later. When set to AUTO DEFROST, the Slow Cooker will cook on HIGH until the food defrosts and reaches a pre-set temperature, then switches to LOW and maintains a constant low cooking temperature.

However if you wish to extend the cooking period, you can use the LOW setting and if you wish to shorten the cooking period you can use the HIGH setting.

HOW TO USE

Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of the work surface. Do not use on the floor.

Place food and other ingredients into the ceramic crock pot, and place the pot into the base. Cover with the glass lid. If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior to slow cooking, this must be done in a pan. Do not try to brown or pre-cook food in the slow cooker.

Set the control knob to the OFF position before plugging the unit into the main socket. Switch off and unplug the slow cooker after cooking and remove the crock pot using oven gloves.

CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BASE UNIT AFTER COOKING AS IT WILL REMAIN HOT.

About slow cooking

Slow cooking has always been the best way to prepare a nutritious hot meal with minimum preparation and maximum free time away from the kitchen.

Traditionally slow cooking has centered on soups and casseroles but with this oval ceramic crock pot you can also produce most modern family meals and dinner party dishes. This pot is convenient as well as looking good enough to take straight to the table for serving. (Always place the crock pot on a heat proof mat or surface).

This method of cooking is ideal for preparing tougher cuts of meat, giving them the long, gentle simmering that ensures that they become tender and full of flavor.

Suitable foods for slow cooking & preparation:

Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods; however there are a few guidelines that need to be followed.

Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take longer to cook than meat. They should be gently sautéed for 2-3 minutes before slow cooking. Ensure that root vegetables are always placed at the bottom of the pot and all ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid.

Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, since the slow cooking method does not allow fat to evaporate.
