INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this quality Courant

Stainless Steel Manual Slow Cooker!

Slow cooking is oen considered the best way to prepare a nutritious hot meal

with minimal preparation and eort. Traditionally, slow cooking has centered

on soups and casseroles, but with this ceramic pot you can cook most mod-

ern meals and dishes. This method of cooking is especially ideal for preparing

tougher cuts of meat, giving them the long, gentle simmering that ensures that

they become tender and full of flavor. This convenient pot can also be taken

straight to the table for serving.

Even if you've used a slow cooker before, please read and follow these operat-

ing instructions carefully and keep them in a safe place.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the slow cooker for the first time

• Carefully unpack the Slow Cooker. Remove all labels and packaging materials.

• Wash the ceramic pot and glass lid in hot soapy water with a sponge or a dish-

cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

• When the appliance is completely dry, place the base unit on a dry, stable, level,

heat resistant surface, away from any surface edges.

• Set the control knob to the OFF position before plugging the unit into a power

source. Plug the unit into a 120-volt 60hz AC grounded outlet only.

During initial use, you may notice a slight odor due to the burning o of manufactur-

ing residues. This is completely normal and will disappear aer using it a number of

times.

Using your slow cooker

1. Place food and other ingredients into the ceramic pot

2. Place the pot into the base unit. The slow cooker pot should be at least half full

for best results. If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior to slow cooking,

this must be done in a pan. Do not try to brown or pre-cook food in the slow

cooker.

3. Cover with the glass lid.

4. Set the knob to high or low, depending on the setting called for by your recipe.

Many meat and vegetable recipes require app. 8-10 hours on low and 4-6 hours on

high. Follow the instructions for your particular recipe

5. While cooking: The lid is not a sealed fit. Don’t remove it while cooking unless

necessary, as heat will escape. Each time the lid is removed, you may need to add

an additional 10 minutes to the cooking time.

6. Aer cooking is complete, turn the knob to OFF and unplug the slow cooker.

Remove the hot ceramic pot using oven gloves. Always make sure that the pot is

placed on a heat resistant surface when it is hot or warm. As an option, you may

wish to switch the control knob to WARM to keep the food warm for later serving.

It is not recommended to use the warm setting for more than 3-4 hours. Do not

forget to turn the cooker o aer warming is complete.

CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BASE UNIT OR POT AFTER COOKING, AS

IT REMAINS HOT.

ADDITIONAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND TIPS

Tips for slow cooking

• Be sure to search the internet for slow cooking books, articles and recipes so that

you can get the most fun and value out your slow cooker!

• Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce moisture in the cooker, re-

move the lid after cooking, turn the control to high and simmer for 30 to 45 min-

utes.

• If cooking soups, leave a few inches of space between the top of the cook pot and

the food surface to allow simmering.

• Many recipes demand all-day cooking. If you do not have time to prepare food in

the morning, prepare it the night before and store it in a covered container in the

refrigerator. Transfer the food to the ceramic pot and add liquid or gravy.

• Some ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking. Pasta, seafood, milk, and

cream should be added towards the end of the cooking time. Many factors will af-

fect how quickly a recipe will cook. Water, fat content, density, initial temperature

and the amount/volume of food will all affect cooking times.

• Food cut into small pieces will cook more quickly. A degree of "trial and error"

may be required to fully optimize the potential of your slow cooker.

• Root vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat. So, try and arrange vegeta-

bles in the lower half of the pot.

• After the food is cooked, switch the cooker off and leave the lid attached. There

will be enough heat in the ceramic pot to keep it warm for 30 minutes. If it needs

to be warm for longer, turn the knob to the WARM setting.

• Food may be covered with a liquid, gravy or sauce. In a separate pan or jug, pre-

pare your liquid, gravy or sauce and completely cover the food in the ceramic pot.

• Before adding it to the ceramic pot, pre-browning meat and onions in a pan will-

seal in the juices and also reduce the fat content. This can improve the flavor but

is not necessary if time is limited.

• When cooking joints of ham, poultry or other meats, the size and shape of the

joint is important. Try to keep the joint in the lower 2/3 of the pot and submerge it

in liquid. If necessary, cut it into two pieces.

• Authentic stoneware is fired at high temperatures. Therefore, the ceramic pot may

have minor surface blemishes and the glass lid may rock slightly due to these

imperfections. Low heat cooking does not produce a lot of steam, so there will be

little heat loss. Due to normal wear and tear through the products life, the outer

surface may change in appearance, but should not be used if broken or cracked.

• Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.

• Do not subject the ceramic pot to sudden changes in temperature. Adding cold

water to a very hot pot may cause it to crack.

ENGLISH ESPAÑOL FRANÇAIS

• There is an area on the base of the ceramic pot that has to remain unglazed for

manufacturing purposes. This unglazed area is porous and will soak up water

whenimmersed in it. This should be avoided. Never place the ceramic pot on a

surface that is prone to scratching.

• Do not switch on the cooker when the ceramic pot is empty or out of its base.

• Read the "Important Safeguards" section before using this appliance.

• Do not allow the ceramic pot to stand in water for a long time. You can leave water

in the pot to soak the bowl, however.

Suitable foods for slow cooking & preparation

Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods. However, there are a few guidelines

that need to be followed:

• Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take longer to cook than meat.

Veggies should be gently sautéed for 2-3 minutes before slow cooking. Ensure that

root vegetables are always placed at the bottom of the pot and immersed in the

cooking liquid.

• The slow cooking method does not allow fat to evaporate. Trim all excess fat from

meat before cooking.

• If adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking, you may need to cut

down on the amount of liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate from the slow cook-

er to the same extent as with conventional cooking.

• Uncooked red beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes to remove

toxins before using them in the cooker.
