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 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 stainless steel 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 slow
cooker base.
• 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.
