Switch off and unplug the slow cooker after cooking and remove the crock pot using oven gloves. WARNING: Be careful not to touch the base unit after cooking as it remains hot. · · Suitable foods Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods, however there are a few guidelines that need to be followed. Make sure all frozen ingredients are well thawed out. Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take longer to cook than meat. They should be gently sauted 2-3 minutes before slow cooking. Ensure that root vegetables are always placed at the bottom of the pot and all ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid. Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, since the slow cooking method does not allow fat to evaporate. If adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking, you may need to cut down on the amount of liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate from the slow cooker to the same extent as with conventional cooking. Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker. Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food. Uncooked red beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes to remove toxins before use in a slow cooker. Insert a meat thermometer into joints of roasts, hams, or whole chickens to ensure they are cooked to the desired temperature. · · · 8 About slow cooking · Slow cooking has always been the best way to prepare nutritious hot meal with minimum preparation and maximum free time away from the kitchen. Morphy Richards has brought this style of cooking right up to date with this modern, cooking system. 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. (Always place crock pot on a heat proof mat or surface). 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. Each time you remove the lid allow 10 minutes extra cooking time. · · · · · · · Do's and Don'ts for crock pot · Authentic stoneware is fired at high temperatures therefore the crock pot may have minor surface blemishes, the glass lid may rock slightly due to these imperfections. Low heat cooking does not produce steam so there will be little heat loss. Due to normal wear and tear through the products life, the outer surface may start appearing 'crazed'. 6 48730MEE DigitalSlowCooker 20/3/07 15:59 Page 7 · Do not put the crock pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, microwave or on a gas/electrical hob. Do not pre-heat before adding ingredients. Do not subject the crock pot to sudden changes in temperature. Adding cold water to a very hot pot could cause it to crack. Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (You can leave water in the pot to soak). There is an area on the base of the crock pot that has to remain unglazed for manufacturing purposes. This unglazed area is porous, therefore will soak up water, this should be avoided. Do not switch the cooker on when the crock pot is empty or out of the base. · · · Some ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking. Pasta, seafood, milk and cream should be added towards the end of the cooking time. Many things can affect how quickly a recipe will cook, water and fat content, initial temperature of the food and the size of the food. Pieces of food cut into small pieces will cook quicker, a degree of 'trial and error' will be required to fully optimize the potential of your slow cooker. Vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat, so try and arrange vegetables in the lower half of the pot. All food should be covered with a liquid, gravy or sauce. In a separate pan or jug prepare your liquid, gravy or sauce and completely cover the food in the crock pot. Pre-brown meat and onions in a pan to seal the juices. This also reduces the fat content if separated before adding to the crock pot. 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. If necessary cut in two pieces. Joint weight should be kept within the maximum limit. 1.5 kg Large sized slow cooker · · g · · · · Tips for slow cooking · The slow cooker must be at least half full for best results. The lid is not a sealed fit. Don't remove unnecessarily as the built up heat will escape. Each time you remove the lid allow 10 minutes extra cooking time. If cooking soups, leave 5cm space between the top of the cook pot and the food surface to allow simmering. Many recipes require all day cooking, if you do not have time to prepare food that morning prepare it the night before and store the food in a covered container in the fridge. Transfer the food to the crock pot and add boiling liquid / gravy. Most meat and vegetable recipes require 4-6 hours. Do not use frozen meat or poultry unless it is thoroughly thawed out first. · · · · Cooking guide · The recipes are based on MAXIMUM WORKING VOLUMES which are: 6.5 Litres Working capacity 4.5 litres / 8 pts This allows a 3cm space between the top of the cook pot and the food. · · 7 48730MEE DigitalSlowCooker 20/3/07 15:59 Page 8 RECIPES Soups Lentil soup 200g Minestrone Soup 2 4 55g 100g 2 2 4 500g butter 4 streaky bacon chopped 400g onions, finely chopped 2x400g cloves garlic, crushed 2 litres sticks celery, chopped 4 tsp potatoes, peeled pinch and cubed 1 2 large carrots, peeled 2 tsp and diced smoked bacon, chopped large onions, finely chopped carrots finely diced sticks of celery, finely sliced orange lentils cans of chopped tomatoes chicken stock worcestershire sauce nutmeg bayleaf basil salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 4 cabbage leaves, shredded 2 tbsp large tomatoes, skinned and roughly chopped 2.25 3 tbsp 3 tsp litres chicken stock tomato puree worcestershire sauce In a pan gently fry the bacon until the fat begins to run.
