PREPARING FOR USE
Before you use your Crock-Pot® sauté slow cooker, remove all packaging and wash the lid and removable cooking bowl
with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. We recommend that you wash the removable cooking bowl by hand only, with
a non-abrasive cleaning product and cloth, to preserve the DuraCeramic™ coating. Never immerse the heating base, power
cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by
certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit or cooking bowl on a heat sensitive surface. We recommend placing a hot
pad or trivet under your slow cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.
During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke or odour may be detected. This is normal with many heating
appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
ASSEMBLY
1. Place the cooking bowl into the heating base.
2. Attach the lid by inserting the hinge mechanism into the hinge slot at the rear of the heating base.
REMOVABLE COOKING BOWL
The aluminium removable cooking bowl features the exclusive DuraCeramic™ coating. This specialised natural ceramic
coating is designed to transfer heat quicker and more efficiently than standard non-stick coatings – meaning faster cooking
times for your delicious home-cooked meals. In addition, the DuraCeramic™ coating is scratch resistant – this is a product
built to last. Peace of mind comes from the fact that DuraCeramic™ is PTFE and PFOA free, so this coating is durable and
easy to clean.
DuraCeramic

coating of the bowl.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the cooking bowl ½ to ¾ full and conform to the recommended cooking
times.
• Do not overfill the cooking bowl. To prevent spillover, do not fill the cooking bowl higher than ¾ full.
• If desired, you can manually switch to the warm setting when your recipe has finished cooking.
• 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.

COOKING HINTS AND TIPS
• Trim fats and wipe meats well to remove residue. Brown in the cooking bowl and drain well. Season with salt and
pepper. Place the meat in the cooking bowl on top of vegetables.
• For pot roasts and stews, pour liquid over the meat. Use no more liquid than specified in the recipe. More juices are
retained in meat and vegetables during slow cooking than in conventional cooking.
• Most vegetables should be thinly sliced or placed near the sides or bottom of the cooking bowl. In a slow cooker,
meats generally cook faster than most vegetables.
• Use whole leaf herbs and spices for the best and fullest flavour from the slow cooking method. If ground herbs and
spices are used, they should be stirred in during the last hour of cooking.
• Because there is no direct heat at the bottom, always fill the cooking bowl at least half full, to conform with
recommended times. Small quantities can be prepared, but cooking times may be affected.
• A specific liquid called for in a recipe may be varied if an equal quantity is substituted. For example, substituting a can
of soup for a can of tomatoes or 1 cup of beef or chicken stock for 1 cup of wine.
• Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/or acidic foods (Note: Sugar and acid have a
hardening effect on beans and will prevent softening).
GUIDE TO ADAPTING RECIPES
This guide is designed to help you adapt your own and other recipes for your slow cooker. Many of the normal preparatory
steps are unnecessary when using your slow cooker. In most cases all ingredients can go into your slow cooker at once
and cook all day. General:
• Allow sufficient cooking time.
• Always cook with the lid on.
• For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning, always ensure an adequate amount of liquid is used in the
recipe.
RECIPE TIME COOK ON LOW ( )
15 - 30 minutes 4 - 6 hours 1½ - 2 hours
30 - 45 minutes 6 - 10 hours 3 - 4 hours
50 minutes - 3 hours 8 - 10 hours 4 - 6 hours
PASTA AND RICE:
• For best results, use long grain rice unless the recipe states otherwise. If the rice is not cooked completely after the
suggested time, add an extra 1 to 1½ cups of liquid per cup of cooked rice and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.
• For best pasta results, add the pasta to the slow cooker during the last 30 to 60 minutes of cook time.
BEANS:
• Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding to a recipe.
• Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.
COOK ON HIGH ( )
6
VEGETABLES:
• Many vegetables benefit from slow cooking and are able to develop their full flavour. They tend not to overcook in your
slow cooker as they might in your oven or on your hob.
• When cooking recipes with vegetables and meat, place vegetables into the cooking bowl before meat. Vegetables
usually cook more slowly than meat in the slow cooker and benefit from being partially immersed in the cooking liquid.
• Place vegetables near the sides or bottom of the cooking bowl to help cooking.
MILK:
• Milk, cream, and sour cream break down during extended cooking. When possible, add during the last 15 to 30
minutes of cooking.
• Condensed soups may be substituted for milk and can cook for extended times.
SOUPS:
• Some recipes call for large amounts of water/stock. Add the soup ingredients to the cooking bowl first then add water/
stock only to cover. If a thinner soup is desired, add more liquid when serving.
MEATS:
• Trim fat, rinse well, and pat meat dry with paper towels.
• Browning meat beforehand allows fat to be drained off before slow cooking and also adds greater depth of flavour.
• Meat should be positioned so that it rests in the cooking bowl without touching the lid.
• For smaller or larger cuts of meat, alter the amount of vegetables or potatoes so that the cooking bowl is always ½ to
¾ full.
• The size of the meat and the recommended cook times are just estimates and can vary depending upon the specific
cut, type, and bone structure. Lean meats such as chicken or pork tenderloin tend to cook faster than meats with more
connective tissue and fat such as brisket or pork shoulder. Cooking meat on the bone versus boneless will increase
required cook times.
• Cut meat into smaller pieces when cooking with precooked foods such as beans, or light vegetables such as
mushrooms, diced onion, aubergine, or finely minced vegetables. This enables all food to cook at the same rate.
FISH:
• Fish cooks quickly and should be added at the end of the cooking cycle during the last fifteen minutes to one hour of
cooking.
LIQUID:
• It might appear that slow cooker recipes only have a small quantity of liquid in them but the slow cooking process
differs from other cooking methods in that the added liquid in the recipe will almost double during the cooking time. If
you are adapting a recipe for your slow cooker from a conventional recipe, please reduce the amount of liquid before
cooking.
