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
