Frequently Asked Questions - SF17011BN SWAN

How do I clean the slow cooker?
Unplug and allow to cool. Remove the stoneware pot and glass lid; they are dishwasher safe. Wipe the stainless steel body with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can I cook frozen meat in the slow cooker?
It is recommended to thaw meat before cooking to ensure even heating and food safety. However, you can cook frozen meat using the Low setting for a longer time.
What is the difference between Low and High settings?
The Low setting cooks food slowly over 6-8 hours, ideal for meats and stews. The High setting cooks faster, usually 3-4 hours, and is suitable for soups and vegetables.
Can I leave the slow cooker unattended?
Yes, the slow cooker is designed for unattended use. Ensure it is placed on a heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. The Warm setting maintains food at serving temperature.
How full should I fill the slow cooker?
Fill between ½ and ¾ full for best results. Overfilling may cause spills; underfilling may cook food too quickly.
Can I use the stoneware pot on a stovetop?
No, the stoneware pot is only for use in the slow cooker base. It cannot withstand direct heat from a stovetop flame or electric burner.
Why is my food not browning?
Slow cookers cook at low temperatures and do not brown food. For browning, sear meat in a pan before adding to the slow cooker. Use the High setting with less liquid for better coloration.
How do I adjust cooking times for recipes?
As a rule, 1 hour on High equals about 2 hours on Low. Adjust recipe times accordingly. Check food doneness before serving.
Is the glass lid oven-safe?
No, the glass lid is not oven-safe. It is designed for use with the slow cooker only. Do not expose to high temperatures.
What spare parts are available?
Replacement stoneware pots and glass lids are available from Swan. Contact customer service or check online retailers using model number SF17011BN.

SWAN TRADE MARK BRAN BRITISH MADE

Swan Brand Heritage

Bulpitt & Sons Ltd was a brass founders established in the latter part of the 19th century. The ‘Swan Brand’ name was registered by Bulpitt & Sons Ltd in the early part of the 20th century and was primarily used for their domestic range of polished aluminium products like frying pans, kettles, tea sets and jelly moulds.

In the 1920s, Bulpitts moved into electrical appliances including kettles, irons, heaters and steamers. They pioneered the first electric element that could be immersed in water. This was a very important breakthrough because it meant that a whole 6 pints of water could be boiled in just over 9 minutes. This led to a whole range of products based around their ‘immersion element’, including tea urns, kettles, steamers and coffee percolators. Later, they developed and patented a unique safety cut-out for kettles, where the connector would be automatically disconnected if the element overheated.

The Swan brand continued it's success throughout the next few decades and became synonymous with solid, British manufacturing quality and innovation. There was a Swan branded product in virtually every home.

HINTS AND TIPS

The Swan Slow Cooker is perfect for creating a wide variety of tasty and nutritious soups. We have given you our favourite recipes, but why not try experimenting to create your own family favourites.

We recommend that you use a well flavoured stock and fresh ingredients to make delicious and healthy soups.

For a hearty winter soup, use approx 900g of vegetables to 1 litre of liquid.

Increase the ratio of liquid to 1 litre to 275g of solid ingredients for a lighter broth.

Starchy vegetables such as potatoes and carrots will create a thicker, creamier soup than vegetables such as courgettes, peppers and tomatoes.

If you are using dried beans, make sure that they are soaked for at least 8 hours and then boiled vigorously for 10 minutes before adding to the Swan Slow Cooker bowl. Do NOT add salt until the beans are fully cooked.

Alternatively substitute tinned beans.

HINTS AND TIPS

The Swan Slow Cooker is perfect for creating a wide variety of tasty and nutritious meals. Designed for moist-heat cooking, the Swan Slow Cooker produces steam which condenses on the lid, then returns to the pot, making it particularly ideal for stews and casseroles. Make sure that you do not use too much liquid – your meal will not boil dry, even after 8 hours cooking.

main dishes - fish and vegetarian

Slow cooked food is truly delicious – the cooking process allows the flavours to develop and the meat tenderises beautifully to give a fantastic texture as well as great taste. Experiment with cheaper and more unusual cuts of meat to create economic meals to feed the whole family.

Starchy vegetables such as potatoes can be used to thicken the sauce. Alternatively, use a roux mix (flour, kneaded into softened butter) or a cornflour and water paste stirred into the broth the end of the cooking time and cook for a further 15 minutes.

If you are using dried beans, make sure that they are soaked for at least 8 hours and then boiled vigorously for 10 minutes before adding to the Swan Slow Cooker bowl. Do NOT add salt until the beans are fully cooked. Alternatively substitute tinned beans.

When cooking whole joints of meat there is no need to brown the meat before adding it to the Swan Slow Cooker bowl. However, when creating casseroles with meat cut into small pieces (say, 2-3 cm cubes), the taste and appearance of the finished dish is enhanced by browning the meat before cooking it in the Swan Slow Cooker.

Gently frying the onions before adding them to your dish gives a rich and sweet depth of flavour.

Woody herbs such as thyme, sage and rosemary benefit from a long cooking period and should be added at the start of cooking. Soft herbs such as basil and mint will taste better added at the end of the cooking period.

We have included some fish recipes for you to try, but fish is best cooked quickly. Why not cook your fish separately and serve it with one of our delicious side dishes?
