GENERAL ADVICE ON USING YOUR SLOW COOKER
Ingredients for a particular dish may be prepared in advance and stored in the
cookpot in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
DO NOT preheat the cooker base before adding the pot. and never heat the pot
when empty.
Food products must be fully defrosted before cooking.
Root vegetables are ideal for slow cooking. Green vegetables may lose some colour
in the slow cooking process.
Cut vegetables into regular sized pieces and place them at the bottom of the
cookpot, under the meat (if used) for improved cooking and added flavour.
Adjust the size of food pieces to the cooking time. For longer cooking times use
larger pieces.
Use less liquid then for normal cooking. Have a little extra liquid on hand to top up
towards the end of the process.
Do not open the lid during the cooking process unless it is necessary. Doing so will
allow heat to escape and the food will take longer to cook.
Unless the recipe says otherwise, add dairy products only in the last few minutes of
cooking to avoid curdling.
Always use recipes intended specifically for slow cooking and follow all the
preparation and cooking instructions carefully.
NEVER use the slow cooker to defrost food!
