Frequently Asked Questions - SSC6 320 A1 SILVERCREST

What is the maximum fill capacity of the pot?

The total capacity of the ceramic pot is 3.5 liters, but the recommended maximum fill level is 3.0 liters to avoid overflow during cooking.

Can I use the ceramic pot on a stovetop or in the oven?

No, the ceramic pot is designed only for use with the supplied heating base. Never place it on a stovetop, in an oven, microwave, or freezer.

How do I clean the slow cooker?

The glass lid and ceramic pot can be washed in the dishwasher (maximum 60°C) or by hand with hot water and dish soap. The heating base should be cleaned with a damp cloth only, never immerse it.

What should I do if the slow cooker does not turn on?

First check that the plug is inserted and the control knob is in a position other than OFF (LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH). If it still does not turn on, the overheat protection may have been activated: turn it off, unplug it, and let it cool down.

How much liquid should I put in the pot?

It is recommended to add at least 1 liter of ingredients (including liquid) and at least 1 cup of liquid. Do not exceed 3.0 liters total. For best results, fill the pot halfway (about 1.5 to 2 liters).

Can I leave the slow cooker unattended?

Yes, but it is advisable not to leave it unattended for long periods. Ensure the appliance is on a stable surface, away from flammable materials, and never cover the appliance while operating.

How do I know if the slow cooker is on?

A status indicator (5) lights up when the appliance is set to LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH. It turns off when the knob is in the OFF position.

What is the difference between the LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH settings?

LOW keeps warm (60-70°C), MEDIUM is low cooking (80-90°C) suitable for stews, and HIGH is high cooking (90-100°C) for faster cooking. Cooking times vary: HIGH reduces time by about 1.5 hours compared to MEDIUM, while LOW increases it by about 2 hours.

Can I add ingredients while cooking?

Yes, but avoid opening the lid too often as it extends cooking time. Add dairy products, pasta, and fish at the end of cooking to prevent them from breaking down.

How do I turn off the slow cooker and safely remove the pot?

Turn the control knob to OFF, unplug the plug, then wait for the appliance to cool down. Use oven mitts to remove the ceramic pot by its handles. Place it on a heat-resistant trivet.

8.2 Filling the ceramic pan

1. Remove the glass lid (2) from the ceramic pan (4).
2. Add the desired ingredients to the ceramic pan (4). Do not overfill the ceramic pan (4)!

Warning!

• You need to fill the ceramic pan (4) with at least 1 litre of ingredients, including liquid. Always use at least 1 cup of liquid. Otherwise, the device can overheat and cause a fire or damage to equipment.
• Fill the ceramic pan (4) with no more than 3.0 litres of ingredients, including liquid. Otherwise, the contents can boil over and cause burns or damage to equipment.

• You can achieve best results by adding between 1.5 to 2 litres of ingredients, including liquid, into the ceramic pan (4). This means the ceramic pan (4) is around half full.

• Beans and hard vegetables like potatoes or carrots should always be covered with liquid for cooking.

• Place the glass lid (2) back on to the ceramic pan (4).

8.3 Slow cooking

Slow cooking cooks ingredients gently and healthily below boiling point. This allows the dish to release its full flavour without sticking or the liquid boiling away. But slow cooking requires very long cooking times, sometimes several hours.

But the long cooking time makes even tough, firm meat tender. Legumes such as peas, lentils and beans and hard vegetables like carrots, potatoes and turnips are also excellent when prepared in the slow cooker.

Dishes like soups and stews are not only given an excellent consistency, they also taste wonderful.

Below are a few tips and tricks you should bear in mind when cooking with the slow cooker:

Danger!

• Beans are toxic when raw. You need to cook beans for sufficient time on HIGH before they are edible.
• Red beans contain a toxic protein which is only broken down at very high temperatures. Using the slow cooker is not sufficient. Red beans must be pre-cooked for 10 minutes in boiling water before putting them in the slow cooker.
• Poultry must be fully cooked before eating to avoid the risk of salmonella poisoning.

General recommendations:

• You can achieve best results by adding between 1.5 to 2 litres of ingredients, including liquid, into the ceramic pan (4). This means the ceramic pan (4) is around half full.
• Defrost frozen ingredients before preparing them in the slow cooker. Otherwise, they may not cook through properly because of the low cooking temperature.
• If there is a lot of liquid in the ceramic pan (4) at the end of the cooking process, remove the glass lid (2) and switch the control dial (7) to the HIGH position. This allows the liquid to evaporate better.
• The slow cooker is not suitable for heating food.
• The slow cooker is not suitable for frying food.

Vegetables, beans and legumes:

• Chop hard vegetables into even pieces which are not too large.
• Beans and hard vegetables like potatoes or carrots should always be covered with liquid for cooking.

• Hard vegetables take slightly longer to cook than meat. So put the vegetables into the ceramic pan (4) first so they stay at the bottom.

• If you wish to prepare beans together with other vegetables (e.g. potatoes or carrots), pre-boil the beans the day before and allow them to stand overnight. Then all you need to do is add the other vegetables and finish cooking the dish.
  Essentially, you can prepare all the ingredients the previous day, add them to the ceramic pan (4), cover and leave to stand cold. The next day, all you need to do is place the ceramic pan (4) on the heater unit (8) and cook the dish.
  Peas, lentils and other legumes should be soaked overnight and the water poured away before you prepare the dish with fresh water.

Soups and stews:

• When preparing soups and stews, do not fill the ceramic pan (4) beyond 3 or 4cm below the top. Otherwise, it is easy to spill the liquid when removing the ceramic pan (4) from the heater unit (8).

Meat:

• Cut the meat into even-sized pieces. Put the larger pieces underneath and smaller pieces on top in the ceramic pan (4).
  Before cooking, remove excess fat from the meat. Otherwise, the fat is retained because of the low cooking temperature in the slow cooker and the meat can be very fatty.
• For some meat dishes such as roulades or goulash, you need to seal the meat before putting it in the slow cooker. This gives it a better flavour and makes it crisp.
• For poultry and larger pieces of meat, use a cooking thermometer to check the core temperature and ensure it is cooked through. If this is not possible, take a piece of meat out of the ceramic pan (4) and cut through it to check it is cooked.
  It is recommended that you pierce sausages to prevent them bursting.

Dairy products, pasta and fish:

• Dairy products, pasta and fish break down or flake when cooked in the slow cooker. Only add these ingredients once the cooking process is complete for the other ingredients.

8.4 Switching on / Selecting the power level

1. Fill the ceramic pan (4) as described in the "Filling the ceramic pan" section and place it on the heater unit (8).

Warning!

Make sure the power cord (10) is not in your working area. Otherwise, you could accidentally pull on it and tip it over or make the slow cooker fall off the work surface.

1. Connect the power cord (10) plug to a live mains socket.

2. Turn the control dial (7) to the position you want: LOW (lowest setting), MEDIUM (medium setting) or HIGH (highest setting). The power indicator (5) lights up and the device begins heating up.

Leave the glass lid (2) closed during cooking where possible. Every time you open the glass lid (2), the cooking time gets longer.

Risk of burns!

The glass lid (2) and ceramic pan (4) get very hot when the slow cooker is in use. Be careful not to burn yourself. Wear oven gloves if necessary.

1. Towards the end of the cooking time, check that the ingredients are properly cooked. If not, allow them to cook a little longer.

8.4.1 Recommended cooking times

The table below sets out the recommended cooking times for various foods. Please note that these are guidelines only. The actual cooking time depends on the size and freshness of the food, the amount in the ceramic pan (4) and your personal taste.

Unless your recipe specifies otherwise, we recommend adding about 1 litre of water or other liquid for 1kg of food to be cooked. For larger or smaller pieces of food, adjust the quantity of water/other liquid to ensure that the food is covered.

Ingredient	Heat setting	Cooking time	Remarks
Pork	MEDIUM*	hours	approx.
Beef	MEDIUM*	hours	approx.
Poultry	MEDIUM*	hours	approx. 5
Hard vegetables (potatoes, carrots, etc.)	HIGH approx.	5 to 6 hours
Green peas MEDIUM* approx.	5	hours
White beans HIGH Dried beans should be left to soak			overnight. Beans must always be cooked on HIGH.
Black beans HIGH
Green beans HIGH
Red beans HIGH Dried beans should be left to soak			overnight. DANGER! Red beans contain a toxic protein which is only broken down at very high temperatures. Using the slow cooker is not sufficient. Red beans must be pre-cooked for 10 minutes in boiling water before putting them in the slow cooker.

• The cooking time is extended by around 2 hours on the LOW setting and reduced by around 1.5 hours on the HIGH setting.

8.5 Switching off / Removing the ceramic pan

Risk of burns!

The glass lid (2) and ceramic pan (4) get very hot when the slow cooker is in use. Be careful not to burn yourself. Wear oven gloves if necessary.

1. Once your food is cooked, you can move the control dial (7) back to the OFF position to switch the device off.
2. Unplug the power cord plug from the wall socket.
3. Remove the ceramic pan (4) from the heater unit (8). Wear oven gloves so you do not get burnt.
4. Serve your dish. If you are serving directly from the ceramic pan (4), use a heat-resistant base to prevent damage to the table.
5. Clean the device. For more on this, please refer to the "Maintenance/cleaning" section on page 60.

Mix the brown sugar, rice vinegar, orange marmalade, sesame oil and soy sauce in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Put the marinade to one side.

Rinse the chicken breasts off in cold water and pat dry with kitchen roll.

Then cut the meat into small pieces.

Put the corn starch/cornflour into a freezer bag or a bowl.

Add the pieces of meat and mix together until the meat is coated.

In a pan, gently heat the sesame oil and fry the chicken until golden brown. The meat does not need to be cooked through in the pan, as it will continue to cook in the slow cooker.

Now add the chicken and the marinade to the slow cooker. Carefully mix the ingredients.

Remove the outside leaves of the lemon grass and chop the bottom end finely. Then flatten slightly using a meat tenderiser or a small pan.

Then add the lemon grass to the slow cooker.

Close the glass lid (2) and cook for 4-5 hours on LOW or 2-3 hours on HIGH.

Finally, sprinkle the sesame over the orange chicken.

If you would like the dish a little hotter, you can add a finely chopped red chilli.
