Slow cooking general advice
Slow cooking has always been the best way to prepare a nutrious hot meal
with minimum preparaon and fuss.
The types of meals that are associated with slow cooking have always been
soups and casseroles, but with the ceramic pot you can also make most modern
family meals and dinner party dishes. This pot is convenient as well as stylish
enough to take straight to the table for serving. (Always place the ceramic pot
on a heat proof mat or surface).
Slow cooking is ideal for cooking tougher cuts of meat, as it gives them long,
gentle simmering that ensures that they become tender and full of avour.
Preparaon and suitable slow cooked foods:
Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods, however there are a few guidelines
that need to be followed:
Cut vegetables into small, even pieces as they take longer to cook than meat.
They should be gently sautéed for 2-3 minutes before slow cooking. Ensure that
root vegetables are always placed at the boom of the pot and all ingredients
are immersed in the cooking liquid.
We recommend you trim all excess fat from the meat before cooking, since the
slow cooking method does not allow fat to evaporate.
If you are adapng an exisng recipe from convenonal cooking, you may need
to cut down on the amount of liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate from the
slow cooker to the same extent as convenonal cooking pans and methods.
Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.
Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.
Uncooked red beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes to
remove toxins before cooking them in the slow cooker.
Authenc stoneware is red at high temperatures, therefore the ceramic pot may have
minor surface blemishes and the glass lid may rock slightly due to these imperfecons.

Tips for slow cooking
The slow cooker pot should be at least half full for the best results.
Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce moisture during the
cooking process, remove the lid aer cooking and turn the control to high (if
already set to low) and simmer for around 30 to 45 minutes.
Do not unnecessarily remove the lid during the cooking process as the build up
of heat will escape. Each me you remove the lid you will have to add an
addional 10 minutes to the cooking me.
When cooking soups allow 5cm of space between the top of the ceramic pot and
the food surface to allow for simmering.
Many recipes demand all day cooking in the slow cooker. If you do not have me
to prepare food that morning, prepare the food the night before and store the
food in a covered container in the refrigerator. Transfer the food to the ceramic
pot and add the liquid/gravy. Select the low or high seng.
Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on low or 4-6 hours on
high.
Some food or ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking, such as pasta,
seafood, milk and cream. These foods or ingredients should always be added
towards the end of the cooking me.
Many things can aect how quickly a recipe will cook: water, fat content and the
inial temperature and size of the food.
Cung food into small pieces will speed up the cooking process. A degree of
“trial and error” will be required to fully opmise the potenal of your slow
cooker.
Vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat, so try and arrange vegetables
in the lower half of the pot.
Aer the food is cooked, switch the slow cooker o and leave it covered with
the lid on. There will be enough heat in the ceramic pot to keep it warm for 30
minutes. If you require your food to be kept warm for longer switch the cooker
to the warm seng.
All food cooked in the slow cooker may be covered with a liquid, gravy or sauce.
10
Tips for slow cooking
Prepare your liquid, gravy or sauce in a separate pan and completely cover the
food in the ceramic pot.
By pre-browning the meat and onions in a pan it seals in all the juices and
avours. This also helps reduce the fat content before adding it to the ceramic
pot. This will improve the avour but is not necessary If me is limited.
When cooking joints of meat, ham and poultry etc. the size and shape of the
joint is important. Try to keep the joint in the lower 2/3 of the pot and fully
cover it with water. If necessary cut the joint into two pieces. Joint weight
should be kept within the maximum limit.
