Getting the best from your new appliance...
Safety
Never touch the outer surface of the slow cooker pan during it's operation or before it has
cooled down. Use oven gloves when removing the lid or stainless steel cooking pan.
Efficiency
Removing the lid will allow valuable heat to escape, reducing the efficiency of your slow cooker
and increasing the cooking time. Try not to remove the lid more than 3 or 4 times to stir or add
ingredients.
Enjoy the benefits
Slow cooking gives you convenient, versatile and flavoursome food. Longer cooking times allow
better distribution of flavours, giving them time to blend and season the food. A slow cooker
heats food gently, making it a great way to cook meats, less expensive cuts in particular, such
as stewing beef, which are tenderised through the long cooking process. Remember, there are
no limits to the potential uses of your slow cooker, only your imagination!
