INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing your new Morphy Richards Slow Cooker. Your Sear & Stew Slow Cooker will allow you to create an extensive selection of meals with the added benefit of being able to sear the meat in the same pan. Searing meat in the Cooking Pot means that the juices from the meat combine with the rest of the ingredients creating richer fuller flavours in your dishes. BEFORE FIRST USE Wash the Glass Lid (2) and Cooking Pot (3) in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
HANDLING THE COOKING POT WARNING: The Cooking Pot (3) will become very hot when in use. To prevent the Cooking Pot (3) from slipping when using to sear, saute or fry the ingredients on your hob, use an oven glove to support the Cooking Pot (3) when stirring the food. • Be careful when using the Cooking Pot (3) on a gas hob, select the correct size gas ring to fit the base area of the Cooking Pot (3). DO NOT use on a wok burner or oversized gas hob.
SLOW COOKING TIPS • • • • • • • • • • • If adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking, you may need to reduce the amount of liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate from your Slow Cooker to the same extent as conventional cooking. Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in your Slow Cooker. Uncooked kidney beans must be soaked overnight and boiled for at least 10 minutes to remove toxins before use in a Slow Cooker.
SLOW COOKING TIPS • • • • • • • 10 If you are short on preparation time and would prefer to skip the searing stage, simply add your meat and other ingredients into your Slow Cooker and cover with boiling liquid/stock. You will need to increase the recipe cooking time as follows: High setting +1hr, Medium setting +1-2 hrs, Low Setting +2-3hrs. Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on Low Setting, 6-8 hours on Medium setting or 4-6 hours on High setting.
