PRACTICAL ADVICE
In order to prolong the appliance's lifespan and to protect the
crock, we advise you not to create thermal shocks during use. For
example, never pour boiling liquid on cold ingredients or on the
contrary, never put frozen food in a hot preparation. As a rule, if
the liner is hot, do NOT add cold or frozen food.
Before cooking frozen food, please add some warm liquid.
Never fill the stoneware liner to the brim as the preparation might
flow over during the cooking process (leave up minimum 2 inches
space to the rim)
Do not use for more than 8 hours consecutively.
Defrost any frozen content before cooking into the slow cooker.
Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking will
increase the cooking time.
When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the
vegetables at the bottom of the stoneware liner first, and then add
the meat and other ingredients.
Meat will not brown when slow cooking. If you wish to brown the
meat, please brown the meat in a separate cooking pan, before
putting in the slow cooker.
Whole herbs and spices have a better flavor, than if crushed or
ground.
Remember liquids do not boil away in a slow cooker like they
would do in a normal pan. Reduce the amount of liquids if
following a recipe not specifically written for slow cooking.
Exceptions to this rule are soups and rice. If a recipe results in too
much liquid, remove the cover and turn to HIGH setting.
Most recipes that call for uncooked meat or vegetables will require
about 6-8 hours slow cooking time on LOW setting.
Meat with a high fat content will result in dishes with fewer flavors.
Pre-cooking or browning these meats will help reduce the amount
of fat. The higher the fat content, the less water is needed. If
cooking meat with a high fat content, cook on a bed of thick
onion slices so that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat. If
necessary, skim off the excess fat from the top of the food, using a
spoon, before serving.
