Put them inside the cooking pot and add the lid. The slow cooker should be at least 1/3 full. Plug in and switch on the slow cooker at the socket. Select the temperature setting according to your recipe. Please handle the cooking pot and lid with care, and avoid extremes of temperature. Once the cooking pot is warm, do not add further chilled ingredients. This may crack the pot. When you have finished cooking, turn the control dial to ‘OFF’, switch off at the socket and unplug. Always use oven gloves before lifting out the cooking pot. You can take the cooking pot straight to the table and serve. Always use a mat when placing the pot down to protect your table and work surfaces from heat and scalding. Take care when removing the lid, tilt it away from you to prevent being scalded by hot steam. Let the base unit cool completely before moving. WARNING: The cooking pot is oven safe up to 150°C, the glass lid is NOT oven safe. DO NOT put the cooking pot or glass lid in the microwave, or place directly on a gas or electric hob or other heat source. 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. Brown your meat before adding it to the slow cooker. This adds flavour to the final dish. When using frozen meat, defrost thoroughly before adding to the slow cooker. Never cook from frozen. Add enough liquid e.g. stock, to cover the ingredients inside the cooking pot before switching on the slow cooker. Slow cooking does not need stirring, but you may like to give your food an occasional stir if cooking on HIGH. Put food which may need longer to cook in the bottom of the cooking pot. It will be nearer the heat source and will sit in the liquid, which will help it to cook. Fish and seafood tend to dry out quickly, so they are best added to dishes near the end of cooking time. If you find there is too much liquid at the end of cooking remove the lid and cook on high for about 30 minutes until the liquid reduces. Fresh herbs are best added near the end of cooking; dried herbs can be added along with the main ingredients.
