SLOW COOKER
TCL002110MD
6 You don't need to soak lentils overnight.
7 Store ingredients prepared beforehand (e.g. the night before) in containers in the fridge. Don't put the slow
cooker or the cookpot into the fridge.
8 Root vegetables, tubers, and bulbs (carrots, potatoes, onions) take much longer to cook than meat, so cut
them down to about 5mm (¼ inch) thick slices, sticks or dice, and sauté them gently for 2-3 minutes before
adding to the cookpot.
9 All vegetables (including dried veg) must be immersed in the cooking liquid.
10 When cooking with rice, use at least 150ml (¼pt) of cooking liquid for each 100g (4oz) of rice. We've found
that "easy-cook" rice gives the best results.
11 Pasta isn't suitable for slow cooking, it becomes too soft. If your recipe requires pasta, it should be stirred in
30-40 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
PREPARATION
1. Decide when you want to eat and when you want to start cooking.
2. If you want to eat at 6 p.m., and you need to start cooking at 8 a.m., find a recipe that takes 8-10 hours.
If you're slow cooking at low power, an extra hour or so at the end of the cooking time doesn't make much
difference, as long as there's sufficient cooking liquid to prevent the food drying out.
3. Prepare the food in accordance with the recipe.
4. Sit the slow cooker on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
5. Check that the slow cooker is off – turn the control to 0.
6. Plug the slow cooker into a wall socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable).
7. Put the cookpot into the slow cooker, and fit the lid.
8. Turn the control to high, and leave the slow cooker preheat for 20 minutes. 20 Meantime, brown the meat
and sauté the vegetables in a pan.
9. Boil the cooking liquid in a pan. If you use a tinned cooking sauce, add it to the pan before bringing it to
the boil.
FILL THE COOKPOT
10. When the 20 minutes is up, remove the lid (oven gloves) and put it on a heatproof surface.
11. Put the meat and vegetables into the cookpot and add the boiling cooking liquid.
CHOOSE THE MODE
12. Turn the control to low for traditional slow cooking, or to high, if you're using it as an electric stewpot.
