OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The benefits of slow cooking Health - The gentle cooking action reduces damage to vitamins and retains more of the nutrients and flavours. Economy - Long, slow cooking can tenderise the cheaper, tougher cuts of meat, and uses about a quarter of the power of the small ring on the average hob. Convenience - Prepare the ingredients the night before, put them in the slow cooker in the morning, before you leave for work, and have a delicious meal waiting for you when you get home.

Altitude, high humidity and slight fluctuations in power can slightly alter cooking times in a Slow Cooker. Allow plenty of time – it is almost impossible to overcook. It is seldom necessary to stir while cooking on Low setting. When cooking on High setting, occasional stirring may be necessary and will improve the distribution of flavours throughout the food.
