USING THE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL SETTINGS
LOW SETTING
The Low setting gently simmers food for
an extended period of time without
overcooking or burning. Generally no
stirring is required when using this setting.
6.When cooking is complete and the keep
warm function is not required, turn the
temperature control dial to the OFF
position, switch off at the power outlet
and then unplug.
HIGH SETTING
The High setting is used when cooking
dried beans or pulses and will cook food
in half the time required for the Low
Setting. Some foods may boil when cooked
5
on the High Setting, so it may be
necessary to add extra liquid.This will
depend on the recipe and the amount of
time in which it is cooked. Occasional
stirring of stews and casseroles will
improve the flavour distribution.
KEEP WARM SETTING
The Keep Warm setting is used to keep
cooked foods at serving temperature. It is
not a cooking setting and should only be
used after first cooking on the Low or
High setting. It is not recommended to
keep food on the Keep Warm setting for
more than 4 hours.
A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO SLOW
COOKING
In years gone by, food cooked in large pots
and allowed to simmer for hours was full
of flavour, moist and tender.The Slow
Cooker is designed to produce these
same results, whilst leaving you the time to
do other things, making it perfect for
today’s busy lifestyles.
Here is a guide to help simplify the
process of slow cooking, allowing you to
obtain maximum satisfaction from your
Slow Cooker:
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 of the recipes contained within this
book can be cooked on the High or Low
settings, however the cooking times will
vary accordingly. Each recipe will give specific
instructions indicating the appropriate
settings and suggested cooking times.
ADAPTING COOKING TIME
Your favourite traditional recipes can be
adapted easily by halving the amount of
liquid and increasing the cooking time
considerably.The following is a guide to
adjusting your favourite recipes:
Traditional Meal Maker
Recipe Time Recipe Time
15–30 minutes 4–6 hours on Low Setting
60 minutes 6–8 hours on Low Setting
1–3 hours 8–12 hours on Low Setting
NOTE: High humidity, altitude, cold tap water and
ingredients and minor fluctuations may slightly
affect the cooking times in the Slow Cooker.
NOTE:These times are approximate.Times can
vary depending on ingredients and quantities in
recipes.
ADAPTING LIQUID AMOUNTS
When food is cooking in your Slow
Cooker, most moisture is retained.To
allow for this when using traditional
recipes it is advisable to halve the liquid
content.
However, after cooking if the liquid
quantity is excessive, remove the lid and
operate the Slow Cooker on the High
Setting for 30–45 minutes or until the
liquid reduces by the desired amount.
Alternatively, the liquid can be thickened
by adding a mixture of cornflour and
water.
STIRRING THE FOOD
Little or no stirring is required when using
the Low Setting. However, stirring the
food when using the High setting ensures
more even flavour distribution.
