INTRODUCTION TO SLOW COOKING

Slow cooking occurs at temperatures around boiling point. The slow
cooker is designed to operate all day or all night if required, on the
LOW position. Food will cook on HIGH in about half the time required
with the LOW setting. Additional liquid may be required as food boils
on high setting. Always unplug the appliance when not in use.

BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME

• Carefully unpack your slow cooker and clean it according to the
section “CLEANING AND CARE”.

• It is necessary to operate the slow cooker one time before
placing food in the stoneware liner. Pour 4 cups of water into the
stoneware liner and place it into the base unit. Cover with the
glass lid.

• Turn the control dial to “High” position, and allow heating for
approximately 30 minutes. You may notice a slight odor; this is
normal and will quickly diminish.

• Turn control to OFF and allow cooling for 20 minutes.

• Wearing oven mitts, grasp the stoneware liner by its handles to

carefully lift it and remove it from the base unit. Pour out the
water from the stoneware liner.

• Rinse the stoneware liner, dry thoroughly and replace into the
base unit.

OPERATION

• Prepare your ingredients to be slow cooked directly in the

• Put the lid on the stoneware liner.

• Always make sure the temperature knob is in "0FF" position.

• Insert the plug in a grounded power socket, 120V, UL type.

• Select the desired temperature setting (LOW or HIGH) and let the

• You can either serve the preparation in the crock or transfer it in
another receptacle. When taking the stoneware liner out of the
aluminum pan, use oven mitts to grasp the handles, particularly if
you are sensitive to heat. Always grasp the liner by its handles,
using oven mitts.

• Always let the appliance cool down before cleaning or storing it.
Even when turned off and unplugged, the Slow Cooker will
remain hot for some time after using.

WARNING:

According to U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection
Service, to avoid food-borne illnesses, foods such as meat, fish, and poultry
should be thoroughly cooked before consuming them. Before consuming,
determine the temperature of the foods using a food thermometer (not
included). Refer to the USDA web site for information on food temperature
rules.

TEMPERATURE SELECTOR

• According to the preparation you can select position LOW (Low
cooking setting) or position HIGH (High cooking setting).

• The LOW heat setting gently simmers food for an extended period
of time without overcooking or burning. No stirring is required
when using this setting. Ideal for vegetable dishes and re-heating.

• Although the fast cooking setting accelerates the preparation, it
remains slow compared to a classical cooking mode and your
preparation may simmer gently to allow the ingredients to give
off their flavor. The HIGH heat setting will cook food in half the
time required for the LOW heat setting. As food will boil when
cooked on the HIGH heat setting. It may be necessary to add
extra liquid, depending on the recipe and the amount of time in
which it is cooked. Occasional stirring of stews and casseroles will
improve the flavor distribution. Food should be monitored when
using the high setting, just like cooking in a pot with a lid on.

• You can also use the HIGH settings for the first couples of hours
and then switch back to the LOW setting for the remainder of the
cooking.

• Using the KEEP WARM position, the slow cooker will keep the food
at serving temperature after cooking, at approx. 150°F. Do not
use this setting to cook food.

• Power light will light on if dial selects LOW, HIGH or KEEP WARM
setting.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

• In order to prolong the appliance's lifespan and to protect the
crock, we advise you not to create thermal shocks during use. For
example, never pour boiling liquid on cold ingredients or on the
contrary, never put frozen food in a hot preparation. As a rule, if
the liner is hot, do NOT add cold or frozen food.

• Before cooking frozen food, please add some warm liquid.

• Never fill the stoneware liner to the brim as the preparation might

flow over during the cooking process (leave up minimum 2 inches
space to the rim)

• Do not use for more than 8 hours consecutively.

• Defrost any frozen content before cooking into the slow cooker.

• Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking will

increase the cooking time.

• When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the
vegetables at the bottom of the stoneware liner first, and then
add the meat and other ingredients.

• Meat will not brown when slow cooking. If you wish to brown the
meat, please brown the meat in a separate cooking pan, before
putting in the slow cooker.

• Whole herbs and spices have a better flavor, than if crushed or
ground.

• Remember liquids do not boil away in a slow cooker like they
would do in a normal pan. Reduce the amount of liquids if
following a recipe not specifically written for slow cooking.
Exceptions to this rule are soups and rice. If a recipe results in too
much liquid, remove the cover and turn to HIGH setting.

• Most recipes that call for uncooked meat or vegetables will
require about 6-8 hours slow cooking time on LOW setting.

• Meat with a high fat content will result in dishes with fewer flavors.
Pre-cooking or browning these meats will help reduce the
amount of fat. The higher the fat content, the less water is
needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, cook on a bed
of thick onion slices so that the meat will not sit and cook in the
fat. If necessary, skim off the excess fat from the top of the food,
using a spoon, before serving.

• Food cut in uniform pieces will cook more evenly and faster than
if left whole (poultry, roasts)

• Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended to cook for
extended periods of time. Please cook separately and add to the
preparation 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

COOKING WITH YOUR SLOW COOKER

Contrary to classical cooking modes, your appliance does not heat
the food from below but only the sides of the appliance are heating
and the heat is spread over the whole recipient. This way the food
does not stick to the bottom of the receptacle and may thus cook
for a long time.

All preparations that need slow cooking, i.e. to "simmer", can be
made with the slow cooker, but other preparations may be adapted
to this cooking mode.

As most food is cooked over period of 6-9 hours, it can be prepared
in advance the evening before, refrigerated in the removable
crockery pot, placed in the slow cooker and switched on in the
morning and left to cook all day. When you arrive home a delicious,
hot meal will await you.

The guide below will help simplify the process of slow cooker,
allowing you to obtain ultimate satisfaction from your slow cooker.

It’s all in the timing!

Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook. It is almost
impossible to overcook in the slow cooker, particularly when using
the LOW setting. Most recipes can be cooked on any one of the
temperature settings; however the cooking times will vary
accordingly.

Adapting cooking times

Your favorite traditional recipes can be adapted easily, by halving
the amount of liquid and increasing the cooking time considerably.
See the guide that follows for suggested cooking times and settings
when adjusting your favorite recipes.

Traditional Recipe Time: Slow Cooker Recipe Time:

15-30 minutes 4-6 hours on LOW heat setting
60 minutes 6-8 hours on LOW heat setting
1-3 hours 8-12 hours on LOW heat setting

NOTE! These times are approximate. Times can vary depending on
ingredients and quantities in recipes.

All food should be cooked with the glass lid well in place. Each time
the lid is lifted, both the heat and moisture are decreasing. Cooking
times should be adjusted by to accommodate this factor.

Liquid amounts

When food is cooking in your slow cooker, very little moisture boils
away. To compensate this, it is advisable to halve the liquid content
of traditional recipes.

However, if after cooking the liquid content is excessive, remove the
lid and operate the slow cooker on the High heat setting for 30-45
minutes or until the liquid reduces by the desirable amount.

Stirring the food

Little or no stirring is required when using the LOW or KEEP WARM
setting. When using the HIGH heat setting stirring ensures even flavor
distribution.
