automatically switched to
Low power and then maintain
a constant low cooking
temperature.
Hints on using your
slow cooker
1
Prepare and use ingredients
at room temperature
rather than straight from
the refrigerator. However
ingredients such as meat and
fish should not be left out of
the refrigerator for longer
than is necessary.
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 first
in a separate pan will help to
remove a certain amount of
fat from the meat and also
improve the appearance and
flavour 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 loss 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
