COOKING SETTINGS
There cooker has 2 power settings:
Low: allows you to simmer food for longer periods. It can also be used to keep food warm while
waiting to serve the meal.
High: used to bake, cook dried beans or pulses. Cooks food in half the time the low setting.
When this power setting is used to boil water, the cooking process may require extra liquid,
depending on the recipe and the time in which it is cooked. It is important to check the cooking
process occasionally when cooking with high power. The cooking time should vary between 4
and 8 hours.
Keep warm function: This function allows keeping previously cooked food at the ideal temperature
until served. Do not try to cook food at this function.
GUIDE TO SLOW COOKING
This section is designed to help you adapt your favourite recipes so they can be cooked in
your slow cooker. Soups and stews are the most common dishes to be cooked in this type of
appliances. Casseroles and most meats benefit from the low power and even cooking.
It is important to:
• Allow sufficient time for cooking.
• Do not add as much liquid as your recipe indicates. Generally, only half of the amount
of liquid specified in the recipe needs to be added as liquids do not boil away as in
conventional cooking. Should you have too much liquid at the end of cooking, remove the
lid and cook with the high-power setting until the excess liquid has evaporated away.
• Many of the steps in conventional recipes may be ignored, because vegetables don't
overcook, therefore everything can go into your slow cooker at the same time. However,
milk, cream or sour cream should be added during the last hour of cooking.
