[. . . ] · Traditionally slow cooking has centred on soups and casseroles but with this oval ceramic cook pot you can also produce most modern family meals and dinner party dishes. This pot is convenient as well as looking good enough to take straight to the table for serving. · This method of cooking is ideal for preparing tougher cuts of meat, giving them the long, gentle simmering that ensures that they become tender and full of flavour. IMPORTANT The slow cooker works by building up heat and maintaining an even temperature. To get the best cooking results, do not remove the lid during cooking, since this will lose heat and therefore slow down the cooking time. The glass lid allows you to monitor the cooking progress without interrupting the cooking time. This is not necessary if the time is limited, but improves the flavour. · When cooking joints of meat, ham, poultry etc the size and shape of the joint is important. Try to keep the joint in the lower 2/3 of the pot and fully cover with water. 1. 5 kg Large sized slow cooker Tips for slow cooking · The slow cooker must be at least half full for best results. · If cooking soups, leave 5cm space between the top of the cook pot and the food surface to allow simmering. 6 digital slow cooker rev 1 20/8/03 3:57 pm Page 8 Cooking guide · The recipes are based on MAXIMUM WORKING VOLUMES which are: 6. 5 Litres Working capacity 41/2 litres / 8 pts This allows a 3cm space between the top of the cook pot and the food.
