Suitable foods for slow cooking:

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

ƒMake sure all frozen ingredients are well thawed out.

ƒRaw vegetables typically take longer to cook than meats as the liquid simmers rather than boils. To ensure complete doneness of vegetables, cut into uniform, bite-size pieces, about ½ inches in size before adding to crock pot.

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

ƒIf adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking, you may need to cut down on the amount of liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate from the slow cooker to the same extent as with conventional cooking.

ƒNever leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.

ƒDo not use the slow cooker to reheat food.

ƒUncooked red beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes to remove toxins before use in a slow cooker.

ƒInsert a meat thermometer into joints of roasts, hams, or whole chickens to ensure they are cooked to the desired temperature.

Dos and Don’ts for the Crock Pot:

ƒAuthentic stoneware is fired at high temperatures therefore the crock pot may have minor surface blemishes, the glass lid may rock slightly due to these imperfection. Low heat cooking does not produce steam so there will be little heat loss. Due to normal wear and tear through the products life, the outer surface may start appearing crazed.

ƒDo not put the crock pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, and microwave or in a toaster oven.

ƒDo not pre-heat before adding ingredients.

ƒDo not subject the crock pot to sudden changes in temperature. Adding cold water to a very hot crock pot could cause it to crack.

ƒDo not allow the crock pot to stand in water for a long time (you can leave water in the crock pot to soak).

ƒThere is an area on the base of the crock pot that has to remain unglazed for manufacturing purposes. This unglazed area is porous, therefore will soak up water, this should be avoided.

ƒDo not switch the cooker on when the crock pot is empty or out of the base.

Tips for slow cooking:

ƒThe slow cooker must be at least half full for best results.

ƒSlow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce this, remove the lid after cooking and turn the control to high (if set to low or medium) and reduce by simmering for 30 to 45 minutes.

ƒThe lid is not a sealed fit. Don’t remove unnecessarily as the built up heat will escape. Each time you remove the lid allow 10 minutes of extra cooking time.

ƒIf cooking soups, leave 2 inch space between the top of the crock pot and the food surface to allow simmering.

ƒMany recipes demand all day cooking, if you do not have time to prepare food that morning prepare it the night before and store the food in covered container in the fridge. Transfer the food to the crock pot and add boiling liquid/gravy. Select the setting low, high or medium.
