using your curry cooker

1 Follow the recipe and place the

ingredients into the cooking pot.

2 Place the cooking pot into the base

unit.
3 Place the lid in position
4 Select the desired setting ie High or

Low and then plug into the power

supply.
5 Allow to cook for the desired time.
6 After cooking, switch off and unplug

the curry cooker.

The following times are a guide only

and will vary according to the type

of food being cooked

Low Setting will gradually cook

food during the day and takes

approximately 6 hours. This setting

can also be used when cooking

more delicate foods which would

benefit from a slightly lower rate of

cooking such as baked apples,

poached fruit.

High Setting will quicken up the

cooking process compared to the

Low setting with cooking times

between 3 and 4 hours.

Keep Warm Setting – Use this
setting once food has been cooked
to keep food warm. We
recommend that food is not kept
warm for longer than 1 hour after
cooking and then switch off after
use.

hints on using your curry
cooker

1Prepare and use ingredients at

room temperature rather than
straight from the refrigerator.
However ingredients such as meat
and fish should not be left out of
the refrigerator for longer than is
necessary, so remove from the
refrigerator just to take the chill off
and keep covered with cling film or
plastic wrap.

2Cut root vegetables such as

carrots, onions, swedes etc into
fairly small pieces as they take
longer to cook than meat.

3Cut each type of ingredient into

even sized pieces, this will assist
with even cooking.

4Browning the meat and sauteing

the vegetables first in a separate
pan will help to remove a certain
amount of fat from the meat and
also improve the appearance and
flavour of both meat and
vegetables. However this is not
essential.

5 Do not lift the lid more than

necessary during cooking as this
will cause loss of heat and
evaporation of liquid. It may be
necessary depending upon how
often the lid is removed and for how
long, to allow an extra 20 minutes
to half an hour cooking time.

6 Cooking always takes place in the

cooking pot. Never place food
directly into the base unit.

7 Never plunge the hot cooking pot

into cold water immediately after
use or pour boiling water into an
empty cold cooking pot. Subjecting
