GB
• Remove excess fat from the meat before
cooking it, because the low tempera-
tures in the slow cooker are not suffi-
cient to expel it.
• The slow cooker is not suitable for keep-
ing food hot or warming it up.
• For all poultry and large cuts of other
meat you should use a cooking ther-
mometer to check its core temperature
to ensure that it is properly cooked
through.
• If there is too much liquid in the cooking
pot3 at the end of the cooking time, re-
move the lid1, turn the control knob7
to “HIGH” and evaporate the excess.
• When cooking soups and stews, the lev-
el of the liquid should always be at least
3cm below the rim of the cooking
pot3. This is to prevent it from spilling
when you lift the cooking pot3 out of
the base5.
8. Cooking times
The times quoted in the tables are intended
as a guide. Actual cooking time depends
on:
• the size and freshness of the foods;
• the quantity in the cooking pot3;
• personal preference (al dente or soft).
NOTES:
• Ensure that all the pieces are about the
same size. Arrange smaller pieces on
top.
• Prepare the vegetables by cutting off
thick stalks and cutting large vegetables
into similar-sized pieces.
• Pierce sausages to stop them bursting.
• Poultry, in particular, needs to be
cooked right through to prevent the risk
of salmonella infection.
