This setting can also be used when cooking more delicate foods which would benefit from a slightly lower rate of cooking such as baked apples, poached fruit. high setting will quicken up the cooking process compared to the Low setting with cooking times between 3-5 hours. keep warm setting ­ Use this setting once food has been cooked to keep food warm. We recommend that food is not kept warm for longer than 2 hours after cooking and then switch off after use. Taking the lid off will reduce the temperature inside the cooking pot so keep this to a minimum and replace the lid quickly. setting the timer (CP707 only) 1 Follow steps 1 ­ 5 above. 2 Set the desired cooking time by pressing the timer increase (+) or timer decrease (-) buttons.

However ingredients such as meat and fish should not be left out of the refrigerator for longer than is necessary, so remove from the refrigerator just to take the chill off and keep covered with cling film or plastic wrap. Do not prepare food in advance and then leave out of the refrigerator. 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 20 minutes to half an hour cooking time. 6 Cooking always takes place in the cooking pot. Never place food directly into the base unit. 7 Never plunge the hot cooking pot into cold water immediately after use or pour boiling water into an empty cold cooking pot. Subjecting it to a sudden change in temperature could cause it to crack. 8 After several months of use the glaze on the cooking pot may become crackled: this is common with glazed stoneware and will not affect the efficiency of the slow cooker. 9 If you are adapting recipes from conventional cooking you may need to reduce the amount of liquid used. In slow cooking liquid does not evaporate as quickly as with conventional cooking although a certain amount of liquid is necessary to help the transfer of heat. 10 Never fill the slow cooker more than 2/3 full. 11 Milk products, including cream, sour cream and yoghurt, should be added towards the end of cooking to help combat any curdling that might take place. 12 Frozen vegetables such as peas should be thawed and added during the last 1/2 to 1 hour of cooking. This will ensure retention of colour and texture in the vegetables and temperature within the pot. 13 Best results are achieved when the ingredients are covered in liquid. 14 Trim excess fat from meat. 15 When cooking whole joints make sure they fit comfortably into the cooking pot and always add liquid. Turn part way through the cooking process. 16 Using hot stock will speed up the cooking process. 17 To thicken gravy etc., mix some cornflour with a little cold water to form a smooth paste. Add the mixture to the cooking pot towards the end of the cooking time. Cover and cook for additional time until the juices are bubbling and thickened. 18 Please note that some spitting around the lid may occur. 5 care and cleaning Always switch off, unplug and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning. base unit Wipe the outside of the slow cooker with a damp cloth and then dry.
