Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR SUNBEAM slow cooker. • Do not operate the slow cooker on an inclined surface. • Do not move or cover the slow cooker while in operation. • Do not immerse the base of the slow cooker in water or any other liquid. • Use your slow cooker well away from walls and curtains. • Do not use your slow cooker in confined spaces. • Do not touch any metal surface of the slow cooker whilst in use as it will be hot.
Features of your Sunbeam SecretChef ™ Slow Cooker Removable crock insert The durable ceramic crock insert is removable to allow for convenient serving at the table, storing of leftovers and easy cleaning. The crock insert is also dishwasher safe for added convenience. Banquet shape The banquet shape is perfect for larger pieces of meat eg shanks, drumsticks etc. Quality glass lid Fits neatly onto the crock insert to retain heat and moisture for best results.
Cool touch handles and lid knob Allows you to lift and carry the slow cooker to the table for serving when hot. Large 6.0 litre capacity For cooking large family-sized meals. Brushed stainless steel housing Power ON light Indicates that the slow cooker is turned on and heating. Wrap-around element The element surrounds the crock insert to ensure even cooking. It prevents food from sticking to the bottom of the crock insert and eliminates the need to stir your food.
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 slow cooker is easy to use and is extremely versatile. You can cook soups, stews, casseroles, roasts, bake desserts and even steam puddings. Slow cooking is also economical, as your new 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. • Food will be brought to a simmer on all settings. The setting determines the time needed to reach a simmer. • 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. 6 Wipe the exterior of the slow cooker with a damp cloth and polish dry.
