An Introduction to Slow Cooking Slow cooking is one of the best ways of preparing foods to ensure that the flavour and tenderness is retained. Your new CrockPot® slow cooker is easy to use and is extremely versatile. You can cook soups, stews, casseroles, roasts, bake cakes and even steam puddings. Slow cooking is also economical, as your new Crock-Pot® slow cooker uses very little power. Once the slow cooker reaches the selected temperature, the food cooks using the heat retained in the crock insert.
Tips for Slow Cooking • All of the recipes contained in this book have recommended temperature settings. Most recipes can be cooked on the LOW setting, however when using the HIGH setting cooking times can often be halved. • Cut meat and vegetables into standard size pieces for even cooking. • When cooking with vegetables, place them in the crock insert first, and then place the meat on top.
Care and Cleaning Wash the crock insert and lid in hot soapy water. To remove food that is cooked onto the bottom, soak the crock insert in warm water before cleaning and scrub lightly with a plastic or nylon brush. Rinse well and dry. The crock insert is also dishwasher safe for added convenience. Note: Do not place the hot crock insert under cold water. 8 Wipe the exterior of the slow cooker with a damp cloth and polish dry.
