• When cooking with vegetables, place them
in the cooking pot first, and then place the
meat on top.
• Always ensure that food or liquid comes to
at least half way up the wall of the crock
pot, as the element is located on the
sides of the cooker.
• When roasting whole pieces of lamb, beef
or chicken, it is not necessary to add
liquid. Pot roasts and corned meats should
be barely covered with liquid.
• Do not use oven bags in your one pot cooker.
• Frozen foods
can be placed in the cold
cooker
and heated for 5-8 hours,
depending on the quantity. Do not place
frozen food into a heated cooker.
• If a recipe results in too much liquid,
turn the one pot cooker
to the HIGH
setting, remove the lid and cook until
sufficient liquid has evaporated.
• To thicken a sauce, set the cooker
to
the HIGH setting and stir through a
thickening agent such as cornflour
combined with a little water. Allow to
simmer until thickened, stirring
occasionally.
• Stirring is rarely necessary, as the element
wraps around the sides of the cooker,
preventing the food from sticking to the
base.
• Leave the lid on the cooker
during
cooking to maintain heat and moisture.
Hints and Tips
Wash the cooking pot and lid in hot soapy
water. To remove food that is cooked onto
the bottom, soak the cooking pot in warm
water before cleaning and scrub lightly with
a plastic or nylon brush. Rinse well and dry.
We recommend that you wash the removable
cooking bowl by hand only, with a
non-abrasive cleaning product and cloth, to
preserve the DuraCeramic™ coating.
Note:
Do not place the hot cooking pot under
cold water.
Wipe the exterior of the cooker
with a damp
cloth and polish dry.
DO NOT
use harsh
abrasives, scourers or chemicals to clean any
part of your cooker
as these will damage the
surfaces.
CAUTION:
Do not immerse the base of the
cooker
in water or any other liquid.
