LAKELAND 3.5 LITRE SLOW COOKER
Thank you for choosing the Lakeland Slow Cooker.
Please take a little time to read this booklet before you use your machine and then keep it in a safe
place for future reference.
The slow cooker has a 3.5L bowl capacity making it ideal for cooking for families or making larger
batches of recipes and freezing some portions for later. The slow cooking method gives great
results on cheaper cuts of meat that often need to cook for longer to be at their best, making this
a very economical cooking method.
An award winning family-owned business, here at Lakeland we still have the same values of
excellent quality, value for money and exceptional customer care as we did when we first set up
the company in the 1960s. Our products are carefully selected and rigorously tested to meet our
high standards, so you can be assured that any product you purchase will be easy-to-use and
highly durable.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE SLOW COOKER AND USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
• The first time the appliance is used there may be a slight smoke smell, this is normal and is
not a concern. It should disappear after initial use.
• Before first use, wash the lid and ceramic pot in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not ever immerse the base in water.
• Prepare the recipe according to the instructions. Place the food in the ceramic pot and then
place the lid on top of the pot.
• Connect the plug of the slow cooker to power socket and switch on socket.
• Select temperature setting.
• When you have finished cooking in the slow cooker, turn the control dial to the off setting,
switch off the mains supply at the socket and unplug.
• Let ceramic pot and the lid cool before washing.

7
THE CONTROL PANEL AND PROGRAMMES
• When not being used to cook, the control dial on the slow cooker should be turned to off and
the mains plug should also be switched off and removed from the socket.
• The final temperature of the food is about 120ºC whether it has been cooked on the low or
high setting. The only difference between these settings is the amount of time the cooking
process takes.
• The slow cooker has three temperature settings so cooking times can be easily adapted.
Meals can be slowly simmered all day long, or can be ready in just a few hours. Over time you
will develop a feel for how long your favourite recipes take, and this cooking guide offers a
helpful starting point.
• AUTO: the standard setting, with an average cooking time of 6-8 hours. Food is cooked on
HIGH until the correct temperature is reached then kept warm until you are ready to serve.
• LOW: if you wish to extend the cooking time.
• HIGH: if you wish to shorten the cooking time.
Cook on auto Cook on low Cook on high
4-6 hours 6-8 hours 3-4 hours
6-8 hours 8-10 hours 5-6 hours
8-10 hours 10-12 hours 7-8 hours
Please note: all cooking times are approximate, and will vary according to your recipe and choice
of ingredients.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
• The beauty of slow cooking is that you can add the ingredients, turn on the slow cooker and
enjoy a tender, moist and flavourful meal hours later, with little work required.
• This 3.5 litre slow cooker has a maximum working capacity of 2.5 litres, allowing for bubbling
and simmering.
• Lifting the lid of the slow cooker results in temperature loss and adds about 25 minutes to the
cooking time. Avoid having to lift lid if at all possible.
• Ideally the slow cooker should be at least 1/3 full when cooking food for it to perform at its
best.

8
A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS
• To ensure uniform cooking, prepare meat and vegetables so they are in similar sized pieces
and will cook evenly. Root vegetables often take longer to cook than meat, so they should be
more finely diced or chopped.
• You may need to reduce liquids in recipes to around half, because the slow cooker is covered
by a lid. If you find there is too much liquid at the end of cooking time, you can remove the
lid and cook on high for about 30 minutes until the liquid reduces.
• The slow cooking method gives great results when cooking cheaper cuts of meat which
require longer cooking in order to become tender, but often have more flavour.
• Brown the meat before adding it to the slow cooker. This adds flavour to the final dish and
the meat often looks more attractive.
• If you wish to use frozen meats, defrost thoroughly before adding to the slow cooker, never
cook from frozen.
• If you don’t have time to get your ingredients ready in the morning, they can be prepared
the night before and stored in the fridge. In the morning, transfer the food to the crock.
Add enough boiling liquid e.g. stock, to cover the ingredients, before switching on the slow
cooker.
• As a general guide, most meat-and-vegetable recipes require 5-7 hours on auto warm, 4-5
hours on high and 7-9 hours on low.
• Slow cooking requires very little in the way of stirring, but you may like to give your food an
occasional stir if cooking on HIGH.
ADAPTING YOUR OWN RECIPES
After you have made some of the recipes supplied you may wish to adapt a few of your own
recipes.
• Start by selecting one of the recipes in this booklet, which is similar to your own and use this
as a guide.
• Adapt your recipes by chopping everything in uniform sized pieces so it will all cook evenly
and be ready at once.
• Place items which may need longer to cook near the base of the pan. This means they are
nearer the heat source and are likely to sit in any liquid which will also help them to cook.
• Fish and seafood tend to dry out quickly so are best added to dishes near the end of cooking
time.
• Recipes will require far less liquid than their equivalents cooked on the hob: reduce the liquid
by half, you can always top up during cooking if it seems too dry.
• Reduce salt in recipes as the long slow cook and reduced liquid means flavours are more
enhanced and less salt is required.

9
• Recipes often say, ‘Bring to boil, and then turndown‘. In slow cookers this is not necessary.
Simply set the cooker on low.
• Fresh herbs are best added near the end of cooking; dried herbs can be added along with the
main ingredients.
Approximate cooking times for recipe conversions
• If recipe suggests to cook for 15-30 minutes, it will need up to 2 hours on the high setting in
the slow cooker.
• If recipe suggests to cook for 30-45 minutes, it will need up to 4 hours on the high setting in
the slow cooker.
• If recipe suggests to cook for 2-3 hours, it will need up to 6 hours on the high setting in the
slow cooker (see the cooking times chart on page 6).
