hintsonusingyour
slowcooker
1 Prepareanduseingredientat
 roomtemperatureratherthan
 straightfromtherefreigerator.
 Howeveringredientssuchas
 meatandshshouldnotbeleft
 outoftherefrigeratorforlonger
 thanisnecessary,soremove
 fromrefrigeratorjusttotakethe
 chilloffandkeepcoveredwith
 clingimorplasticwrap.
2 Cutrootvegetablessuchas 
 carrots,onions,swedesetcinto
 fairlysmallpiecesasthey 
 takelongertocookthanmeat.
3 Cuteachtypeofingredientinto
 evensizedpieces,thiswillassist
 withevencooking.
4 Browningthemeatandsauteing
 thevegetablesrstinaseparate
 panwillhelptoremoveacertain
 amountofatfromthemeatand
 alsoimprovetheapperanceand
 avourofbothmeatand 
 vegetables.Howeverthisisnot
 essential.
5 Donotliftthelidmorethan 
 necessaryduringcookingasthis
 willcauseloosofheatand 
 evaporationofliquid.Itmaybe
 necessarydependinguponhow
 oftenthelidisremovedandfor
 howlong,toallowanextra20
 minutestohalfanhourcooking
 time.
6 Cookingalwaystakesplacein
 thecookingpot.Neverplace
 fooddirectlyintothebaseunit.
7 Neverplungethehotcookingpot
 intocoldwaterimmediatelyafter
 useorpourboilingwaterintoan
 emptycoldcookingpot. 
 Subjectingittoasuddenchange
 intemperaturecouldcauseitto
 crack.

8 Afterseveralmonthsofusethe
 glazeonthecookingpotmay
 becomecrackled:thisiscommon
 withglazedstonewareandwill
 notaffecttheefciencyofthe
 slowcooker.
9 Ifyouareadaptingrecipesfrom
 conventionalcookingyoumay
 needtoreducetheamountof
 liquidused.Inslowcooking 
 liquiddoesnotevaporateas 
 quicklyaswithconventional 
 cookingalthoughacertain 
 amountofliquidisnecessaryto
 helpthetransferofheat.
10Neverlltheslowcookermore
 than2/3full.
11Milkproducts,includingcream,
 sourcreamandyoghurt,should
 addedtowardstheeneof 
 cookingtohelpcombatany 
 curdlingthatmighttakeplace.
12Frozenvegetablessuchas 
 peasshouldbethawedand 
 addedduringthelasthalfhour
 ofcooking.Thiswillensure 
 retentionofcolourandtexturein
 thevegetablesandtemperature
 withinthepot.
13Bestresultsareachievedwhen
 theingredientsarecoveredin
 liquid.
14Trimexcessfatfrommeat.
15Providingthatyouhavesuitably
 sizedheatproofdishes,more
 thanonedishcanbecookedin
 theslowcookeratthesame 
