Safety first
Never touch the outer enclosure of the slow cooker during its operation or

For best results
The slow cooker must be at least half full for best results. The cooking time
will be reduced, so check before the stated time.
Do not remove the lid during cooking, since this will lose heat and therefore
slow down the cooking time.

water, with a sponge or a dish cloth, rinse
thoroughly and dry .

IMPORT ANT
The slow cooker works by building up heat and
maintaining an even temperature. To get the best
cooking results, do not remove the lid during cooking,
since this will lose heat and therefore slow down the
cooking time.
Suitable foods for
slow cooking
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
• Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods,
however there are a few guidelines that need to be
followed.
• Make sure all frozen ingredients are well thawed out.
• Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they
take longer to cook than meat. They should be gently
sauted for 2-3 minutes before slow cooking. Ensure
that root vegetables are always placed at the bottom
of the pot and all ingredients are immersed in the
cooking liquid. It is inevitable that some vegetables
and meat on the surface may not be completely
covered with the cooking liquid, this is acceptable as
they will reduce and fall into the stock.
• Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, since
the slow cooking method does not allow fat to
evaporate.
• If adapting an existing recipe from conventional
cooking, you may need to cut down on the amount of
liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate from the slow
cooker to the same extent as with conventional
cooking.
• Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in
the slow cooker.
• Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.
About slow cooking
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
• Slow cooking has always been the best way to
prepare a nutritious hot meal with minimum
preparation and maximum free time away from the
kitchen. Morphy Richards has brought this style of
cooking right up to date with this modern, cooking
system.
• Traditionally slow cooking has centred on soups
and casseroles but with this round ceramic crock
pot you can also produce most modern family
meals and dinner party dishes. This pot is
convenient as well as looking good enough to take
straight to the table for serving. (Always place the
crock pot on a heat proof mat or surface).
• Uncooked red beans must be soaked and boiled for
at least 10 minutes to remove toxins before use in a
slow cooker.
• Insert a meat thermometer into joints of roasts,
hams, or whole chickens to ensure they are cooked
to the correct temperature. These temperatures are
indicated on the meat thermometer.
