Introduction
Slow cooking has traditionally been used for soups and casseroles but it can also
cook most modern family meals. Slow cooking has always been the best way to
cook a delicious hot meal with the minimum preparation.
The cooking temperature is the same on all settings, so the setting you choose
merely dictates how quickly the slow cooker gets up to temperature.
The lower setting (usually 8 to 10 hours cooking times) heats food gently,
whereas the higher setting (4 to 6 hours cooking times) will heat food quicker.
The Slow Cooker will not ‘boil’ food but gently cook over a long period of time.
This designates a hazard with moderate risk, which may result
in severe injury if not adhered to.
