Before using the Flavour Savour for the first time
Remove all labels and tags from the product.
Wash the stainless steel pan and lid in hot soapy water with a sponge or dishcloth. DO NOT use

lid thoroughly and dry.

During initial use, you may notice a slight odour due to the burning off of manufacturing residue.
This is completely normal, does not effect the food being cooked and will disappear after a few
uses.
Flavour Savour Hints & Tips
•
All ingredients should be at room temperature before adding. If chilled, allow to come to room
temperature, as cold food will affect the cooking time.
•
Meat can be used chilled from the fridge, but do not use frozen meat. Use the browning function to
seal the meat.
•
Make sure all frozen ingredients are thoroughly thawed before use.
•
If using cold stock in the slow cooking recipe (for example, wine) you will need to pre-heat the
ingredients. Start with the browning function first, adding all the ingredients. When the 15 min time is
up, continue with the slow cooking function.
•
In traditional stove top slow cooking, it is advised to coat the meat in flour before browning. There is
no need to do this in the Flavour Savour. Simply brown / seal the meat as instructed. If the liquid
needs to be thickened, add and stir in a corn flour / cold water paste mix 30 minutes towards the
end of the cooking time.
•
If using meat on the bone (for example, chicken thighs, spare ribs, etc), the slow cooking process
can make the meat fall away from the bone - this is normal, and results in a richer flavour. However,
watch out for small bones that could be in the liquid.
•
Do not over fill the pan, as the recipes in this instruction booklet are designed for maximum
capacity, and allows room above the food for even cooking. The capacity can be found on the rating
label, located underneath the product. If using your own recipe, do not fill above the handle rivets
that can be seen inside the pan. A
•
The lid will become very hot in use, especially the glass window and the stainless steel rim. The
silicon insulated handles will stay cool, allowing you to lift the lid with. However, it is advisable to
take the precaution of using oven gloves when doing this.
•
Ingredients should be evenly distributed throughout the pan. However, root vegetables are better
placed in the lower half of the pot to start cooking. All ingredients should be immersed in the
cooking liquid.
•
To ensure even cooking, root vegetables should be cut to size (approx 20mm cubed).
•
If the pan over boils, this will usually be because it has been over filled, so remove some of the
ingredients and /or liquid.
•
In general, tough meats like stewing meat require longer cooking times which are ideal for slow
cooking. For the stew function, a better quality cut of meat is required to suit the 1:30–1:45 cooking
time.
•
Chicken and quality cuts of meat require less time to cook.You should therefore use the lower value
of the time range – for example, for level 1 use 8 hours.
•
For dumplings, add to the stew 30-45 minutes before the end time.You can add these to the
surface, and there is no need to submerge in the liquid.
•
Ham joints should be left in the plastic wrapper, if supplied. If not, use a suitable heat resistant
plastic bag or tie with butchers string to prevent the ham from falling apart during the cooking.
•
If using the stew setting, allow the cooked food to rest for 10 minutes in the pan before serving. This
allows the hot (boiling) food to cool before eating.
•
When you have become experienced at using your Flavour Savour, you can begin to create your
own recipes, but it is advisable to follow an existing recipe as a guide. If using ingredients such as
pasta, milk, cream, sea food or shell fish in a recipe, these should be added 30 minutes towards the
end of the cooking of the other ingredients. Coconut milk and rice pudding recipe does not apply.
•
Do not leave raw, uncooked food in the pan for any length of time. Start the cooking process as
soon as possible. If you have to delay the cooking, store the food in a fridge, and when ready, allow
•
If required pour off excess oil after browning.
•
If using stock or sauces from jars or containers, heat first in
Alternatively add 30 minutes to the cooking time.
