Function
The slow cooker is used to cook food slowly over a long period of time at
temperatures below boiling point (100°C).
The cooking time with this type of preparation is usually considerably longer than
with simple cooking or frying. The gentle preparation preserves more vitamins,
nutrients and flavour in the food and prevents the food from burning. Meat does
not dry out and remains juicy and tender.

Preparing ingredients
■ Do not add more than 5.5 litres of ingredients including liquid. That means
about 2.5 cm between the ingredients and the upper edge of the ceramic
pot 2. When preparing very liquid food, such as soups or stews, you should
not fill with more than 4 litres of ingredients including liquid to prevent the
food from overflowing. This corresponds to about 5 cm between the ingredients and the upper edge of the ceramic pot 2.
■ The ingredients should contain at least 300 ml of liquid. Note, however, that
very dry ingredients may require more liquid and very moist ingredients less.
■ Allow frozen food to thaw completely before use.
■ Chop the ingredients into evenly sized, preferably not-too-large pieces to
shorten their cooking time. The larger the pieces, the longer the cooking time.
■ You can fry meat in spices for a more intense flavour before adding it to the
ceramic pot 2. This also has the advantage that the fat content of the meat
and the entire dish is reduced, as you do not continue to cook with the used
fat.
■ If you want to precook or sauté ingredients before cooking, use a separate
saucepan or pan. Browning or precooking is not possible with this appliance.
■ If you do not fry the meat in advance, you should remove excess fat from the
meat, as it does not break down during gentle cooking.
■ Raw red beans contain toxins that are only neutralized by high temperatures.
Cooking with this appliance is not sufficient! Cook red beans in boiling
water for at least 10 minutes before using them.
■ Soak dried, unpeeled legumes overnight and pour away the water. Use fresh
water for the preparation.
