6. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Place the cooker 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 pot, and place the pot into the base. Cover with the glass lid.
• If you need to precook 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 the OFF position before plugging the unit into the main socket. Plug in your slow cooker and turn the setting selector to the High or Low cooking temperature.
  NOTE: The WARM setting is ONLY for keeping food warm, which has already been cooked. DO NOT cook on the WARM setting. We do not recommend using the WARM setting for more than 4 hours.
• Switch off and unplug the slow cooker after cooking and remove the ceramic pot using oven gloves.
• If desired, you can manually switch to the WARM setting when your food has been cooked.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware 12 to 34 full and conform to the recommended cooking times.
  • To prevent spill over, do not overfill the stoneware and do not fill the stoneware more than 34 full.
  • Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking to allow the heat to build up efficiently.
  • Always wear oven gloves when handling the lid or stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking has finished and before cleaning.
• The removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. DO NOT use the removable stoneware on a gas or electric hob or under a grill. The lid is NOT ovenproof or microwave safe.
• CAUTION: Be careful not to touch the base unit after cooking as it remains 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 ceramic 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 ceramic 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.

• If 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.

• Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.
• Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.
• Uncooked red beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes at high temperature in a different cooking pot to remove toxins before use in a health cooker.
• Authentic stoneware is fired at high temperatures; therefore the ceramic pot may have minor surface blemishes and the glass lid may rock slightly due to these imperfections. 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”.
• Do not put the ceramic pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, and microwave or on a gas/ electrical hob.
• Do not subject the ceramic pot to sudden changes in temperature. Adding cold water to a very hot pot could cause it to crack.
• Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (You can leave water in the pot to soak).
• There is an area on the base of the ceramic pot that has to remain unglazed for manufacturing purposes. This unglazed area is porous and will soak up water when immersed in it. This should be avoided.
• Do not switch the cooker on when the ceramic pot is empty or out of the base.

Tips for slow cooking

• The slow cooker pot must be at least half full for best results.

- Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce moisture in the cooker, remove the lid after cooking and turn the control to high (if set to low or auto) and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.

- The lid is not a sealed fit. Don't remove unnecessarily as the built up heat will escape. Each time you remove the lid, allow an additional 10 minutes to the cooking time.

- If cooking soups, leave a 5 cm space between the top of the cook pot and the food surface to allow simmering.

- Many 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 a covered container in the refrigerator. Transfer the food to the ceramic pot and add liquid/gravy. Select the setting low, high or auto.

- Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on low and 4-6 hours on high.

- Some ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking. Pasta, seafood, milk, and cream should be added towards the end of the cooking time. Many things can affect how quickly a recipe will cook, water and fat content, initial temperature of the food and the size of the food.

- Food cut into small pieces will cook more quickly. A degree of ‘trial and error’ will be required to fully optimize the potential of your slow cooker.

- Root vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat, so try and arrange vegetables in the lower half of the pot.

• After food is cooked, switch cooker off and leave covered with the lid. There will be enough heat in the ceramic pot to keep warm for 30 minutes. If you require longer to keep warm switch to the low setting.

- All food may be covered with a liquid, gravy or sauce. In a separate pan or jug prepare your liquid, gravy or sauce and completely cover the food in the ceramic pot.

- Pre-browning meat and onions in a pan to seal in the juices also reduces the fat content before adding to the ceramic pot. This improves the flavor but is not necessary if time is limited.

- When cooking joints of meat, ham, and poultry etc the size and shape of the joint is important. Try to keep the joint in the lower 2/3 of the pot and fully cover with water. If necessary, cut in two pieces. Joint weight should be kept within the maximum limit.

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always make sure the slow cooker is unplugged and in the OFF position before storing away or cleaning. Make sure the unit has cooled down completely before cleaning.

• The stoneware insert is dishwasher safe or can also be cleaned with warm soapy water. To remove any foods that have been cooked onto the bottom of the pot, simply soak overnight in soapy water and rinse the next day.
• The exterior of the slow cooker can be wiped with a damp cloth and dried. DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaner or scouring pad to clean any part of the slow cooker as this will damage the surface.

Warning: never submerge the entire slow cooker into water or any other liquid or this may damage the slow cooker.
