USING YOUR DIGITAL SLOW COOKER
Using a slow cooker is easy but different from conventional cooking. To
help you, this manual contains many helpful hints for successful slow
cooking. Many slow cooker recipes books are available. Keep these
materials handy whether preparing favourite recipes or trying something
new. This Programmable slow cooker can operate at LOW all day or
night, up to 20 hours... with an easy-to- read digital count-down timer
that will turn the appliance OFF automatically. No more over-cooked
slow cooked meals! NOTE: When slow cooking on HIGH setting, it is
very much like a covered pot on the stove top. Foods will cook on HIGH
in about half the time required for LOW cooking. Additional liquid may
be required if cooking foods on HIGH. Use the recommended guidelines
offered in the recipe being used to determine cooking time and heating
position. Dishes can be prepared well in advance of mealtime and
cooking time regulated so that food is ready to serve at a convenient
time. A general rule of thumb for most slow cooker meat and vegetable
combinations is:
Cooking Time
8-10 Hours
4-6 Hours
NOTE: When serving from the slow cooker, always place a trivet or
protective padding under the cooking pot before placing it on a table or
counter top.
1. Prepare recipe ingredients according to instructions.
2. Place food into the stoneware pot. For best results, the slow
cooker should be at least half-filled. When cooking soups or stews,
allow a 2 inch space between the food and the top of the cooking
pot, so ingredients can come to a simmer. DO NOT OVER FILL.
NOTE: When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the
vegetables in the bottom of the stoneware pot first. Then add the meat
and other ingredients.
NOTE: When cooking on HIGH, check cooking progress, as some soups
may come to the boil. Remember that frequent lifting of the lid
during cooking delays the cooking time.
