HINTS AND TIPS
Trim all visible fat from meat or poultry.
If a recipe calls for browning the meat, it
may be browned in the EasySear™ pan
on the gas, electric or ceramic stovetop.
Meat and poultry require at least 6 to 7
hours of cooking on Low setting or 3 to
4 hours on High setting.
Ensure that the food or liquid to
be cooked fills half to ¾ of the
EasySear™ pan.
If after cooking the liquid quantity is
excessive, remove the lid and operate
the slow cooker with EasySear™ pan on
the High setting for 30 to 45 minutes or
until the liquid reduces by the desired
amount. Alternatively, the liquid can
be thickened by adding a mixture of
cornflour and water and cooking on
High setting without the lid until sauce
has thickened.
DO’S
Always thaw frozen meat and poultry
before cooking.
Use dry oven mitts when lifting the lid or
removable EasySear™ pan after searing
or slow cooking.
Place the EasySear™ pan onto a heat
proof mat if serving from the EasySear™
pan at the table.
To keep foods warm for serving, turn
control to the Low setting until ready
to serve.
DONT’S
Do not operate the slow cooker without
the EasySear™ pan in position in the
slow cooker base.
Do not cook with frozen meats or poultry.
Do not remove the glass lid from the
slow cooker unnecessarily as this will
result in major heat loss.
Stirring is not necessary when slow
cooking. However, if cooking on the
High setting, stirring occasionally will
help to distribute flavours throughout
the recipe.
Do not use High setting if you intend
on being away from home for more than
3 hours.
NEVER
Place water or other liquids into the slow
cooker base of the Flavour Saver.
Immerse the slow cooker base, power
cord, or power plug in water or any other
liquid.
Touch hot surfaces with bare hands.
Deep fry in the EasySear™ pan.
