  • Page 11 SEARING SLOW COOKER FUNCTIONS BROWNING FUNCTIONS • The slow cooker has 5 browning functions for all sautéing, browning and searing tasks. • These functions are ideal for sealing meats and pre-cooking vegetables prior to slow cooking, allowing you to seal in flavours and juices creating more flavoursome slow cooked dishes.
  • Page 12 SLOW COOK FUNCTION (LOW AND HIGH) • Ensure the cooking pot is securely placed into the main unit of the slow cooker. • Place the ingredients in the cooking pot, with them spread evenly across the base. Lock the lid on to the appliance. •...

  • Page 15: A Guide To Ingredients And Hints And Tips

    A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS AND HINTS AND TIPS • To ensure even cooking, cut meat and vegetables into similar sized pieces so they cook evenly. Root vegetables often take longer to cook than meat, so they should be diced or chopped more finely. •...
  • Page 16: Preparing Ingredients Guide

    PREPARING INGREDIENTS GUIDE PREPARING MEAT • When purchasing meat for slow cooking, select leaner cuts and trim the meat or poultry of any visible fat. • For casserole type recipes, cut the meat into cubes, approximately 2cm. Slow cooking allows less tender cuts of meat to be used. The bones can be left on meat or poultry, if desired, and will help to keep meat tender during cooking but will increase the required cooking time.
  • Page 17: Steaming Guide

    STEAMING GUIDE • Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value. Foods can be steamed by placing them on the provided trivet over stock or water in the cooking pot. Ensure that the food sits above the water level in the pot. •...
