FOUR EASY STEPS TO HEALTHIER, CONVENIENT COOKING
1. Place ingredients into the inner pot, and place it on the stove.
2. Cover, bring to boil and simmer on your stove for approximately 20
minutes. It is essential to heat food to a safe temperature before
vacuum cooking (60°C for 10 minutes will kill most temperature
sensitive bacteria). The food is then safe to cook for several hours.
3. Remove from stove, place into your thermal insulated pot, cover
and leave. Make sure not to lift glass lid during cooking as the heat
will escape.
• The steam creates a convection ef fect which circulates and
continues cooking keeping the food warm for up to 8 hours.
• Food is cooked in its own moisture and steam, allowing all the
nutrients to be preserved.
Simple Locking System
Simply press down to lock the lid and ensure
the heat remains trapped inside. To unlock, slide
button to the right.
WHAT MAKES IT WORK?
Most people nd it hard to believe that food can cook so well without fuel and at temperatures
below boiling. Thermal cooking has a similar result as stewing or boiling food. The pot and contents
are heated to cooking temperature, and then sealed in the insulated thermal pot.
The insulated thermal pot simply reduces heat loss to a minimum, so that the food remains at
cooking temperature for a long time, and cooks without continued heating. The insulated wall of
the cooker thermally insulates its contents from the environment, the food remains hot for several
hours. Insulated cooking appeals to dishes that require prolonged braising or simmering.

USES FOR YOUR COOKING POT
Camping and Outdoors
• Great in winter— after a long day out and about, come home to a lovely warm casserole.
• Ideal in summer: At times when you are out enjoying the great weather and sites of Australia.
Ideal for the motor home, caravan or boating
• Takes up little space
• Stores away neatly
• Use the inner pot on its own to cook or prepare a meal for the end of a hard day
When you don’t want to be spending all your time cooking
• Prepare the meal before you go on the boat or day trip.
Camping, picnics and backyard barbeques
• Forget all those pots and pans.
• Great for also keeping the cooked barbeque meat moist and hot. Place meat in the inner cooking
pot and store in the thermal insulated pot to keep meat hot while sitting back with friends.
• Store cold drinks and sandwiches whilst shing with the kids
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS?
How do I clean the Portable Thermal Cooker?
The inner pot is made from a high quality stainless steel and therefore can be washed as you would
all your other cooking pots. Even safe in the dishwasher.
DO NOT disperse the outer pot into water or in a dishwasher. Just wipe down with a damp cloth.
Can I fry my food using my inner cooking pot?
You may safely sauté your vegetables or brown your meat to further seal and add avour to
your meal.
Is there a safe temperature to use whilst bringing food to the boil?
The inner pot is capable of handling various heat temperatures.

How long will my food stay hot in the Portable Thermal Cooker?
You lose about 4 degrees per hour, depending on the level of liquid. The more liquid you have in the
pot, the longer it will stay hot.
You can expect to nd the food hot after six hours.
(NB: This is based on heating the inner pot to 100 degrees and lling it with liquid reaching 80% of
the inner pot.)
The thermometer provides a temperature guide to monitor internal temperature.
How do I know when food is ready?
Follow recipe guidelines for cooking time. Removing and reapplying glass lid on inner pot may
result in longer cooking time as a result of heat escaping.
Can I leave a meal overnight in the appliance?
DO NOT leave your meal overnight in the thermal pot. If you want to save some of your dish for
later, you need to refrigerate the remaining food. Faster cooling times limit the time the bacteria has
to develop.
You must re-heat your food to 60 degrees or hotter to avoid food bacteria. So if you have come
home after a very long day, it may mean that you will have to remove the inner pots, and place on a
stove and bring back to a boil for a few minutes.
Do I have to make sure the ingredients are all cut to the same size for
even cooking?
No. You can cook a 2kg silverside with potatoes and carrots cut in half. After 4 hours, both the meat
and vegetables are cooked to perfection. Just place all ingredients in, cover with water,
boil and walk away.
What is the difference between a slow cooker and the thermal cooking pot?
The slow cooker is used for a similar purpose. Instead of minimising heat loss, sufcient heat is
applied to the non-insulated slow cooker to maintain a steady temperature somewhat below the
boiling point of water. Thus requiring constant penetration of a heating appliance gas or electric.
