USING YOUR APPLIANCE:

Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods; however there are a

few guidelines that need to be followed.

Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take longer to cook

than meat. They should be gently sautéed for 2-3 minutes before slow

cooking. Ensure that root vegetables are always placed at the bottom of

the pot and all ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid.

Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, since the slow cooking

method does not allow fat to evaporate.

If adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking, you may need

to cut down on the amount of liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate from

the slow cooker to the same extent as with conventional cooking.

Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.

Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.

Uncooked kidney beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10

minutes to remove toxins before use in a slow cooker.

Authentic stoneware is ﬁred at high temperatures; therefore the ceramic

pot may have minor surface blemishes and the glass lid may rock

slightly due to these imperfections.

Low heat cooking does not produce steam so there will be little heat

loss. Due to normal wear and tear through the products life, the cooking

pot may start appearing “crazed”.

Do not put the ceramic pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, and

microwave or on any gas/electric hob.

Do not subject the ceramic pot to sudden changes in temperature.

Adding cold water to a very hot pot could cause it to crack.

Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (you can leave

water in the pot to soak).

There is an area on the base of the ceramic pot that has to remain

unglazed for manufacturing purposes. This unglazed area is porous and

will soak up water when immersed in it. This should be avoided.

Do not switch the cooker on when the ceramic pot is empty or when it is

out of the base.

TIPS FOR SLOW COOKING

The slow cooker pot must be at least half full for best results.

T16009 5.5ltr Stainless Steel Slow Cooker

www.towerhousewares.co.uk

Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce moisture in the

cooker, remove the lid after cooking and turn the control to high (if set to

low or warm) and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.

USING YOUR APPLIANCE

Don’t remove unnecessarily as the built up heat will escape. Each

time you remove the lid, allow an additional 10 minutes to the cooking

time.

If cooking soups, leave a 5 cm space between the top of the cook pot

and the food surface to allow space for simmering.

Many recipes demand all day cooking, if you do not have time to

prepare food that morning prepare it the night before and store the

food in a covered container in the refrigerator. Transfer the food to the

ceramic pot and add liquid/gravy. Select the setting low, high or warm.

Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on low.

Some ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking. Pasta, seafood,

milk, and cream should be added towards the end of the cooking time.

Many things can affect how quickly a recipe will cook, water and fat

content, initial temperature of the food and the size of the food.

Food cut into small pieces will cook more quickly. A degree of ‘trial and

error’ will be required to fully optimise the potential of your slow cooker.

Root vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat, so try and

arrange vegetables in the lower half of the pot.

After food is cooked, switch cooker off and leave covered with the lid.

There will be enough heat in the ceramic pot to keep warm for 30

minutes. If you require longer to keep warm switch to the warm setting.

All food may be covered with a liquid, gravy or sauce. In a separate pan

or jug prepare your liquid, gravy or sauce and completely cover the food

in the ceramic pot.

Pre-browning meat and onions in a pan to seal in the juices also

reduces the fat content before adding to the ceramic pot. This improves

the ﬂavour but is not necessary if time is limited.

When cooking joints of meat, ham, and poultry etc. the size and shape

of the joint is important.

Try to keep the joint in the lower 2⁄3of the pot and fully cover with water.

If necessary, cut in two pieces. Joint weight should be kept within the

maximum limit.

Safety and Instruction Manual

Helpline: +44 (0) 844 984 0055

Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the

edge of the work surface.

Do not use on the ﬂoor.

Place food and other ingredients into the ceramic pot, and place the pot

into the base. Cover with the glass lid. If you need to precook or brown

foods prior to slow cooking, this must be done in a pan. Do not try to

brown or precook food in the slow cooker.

Set the control knob the OFF position before plugging the unit into the

main socket.

Switch off and unplug the slow cooker after cooking and remove the

crock pot using oven gloves.

ABOUT SLOW COOKING

Slow cooking has always been the best way to prepare a nutritious hot

meal with minimum preparation and maximum free time away from the

kitchen.

Traditionally slow cooking has centred on soups and casseroles but

with this ceramic pot you can also produce most modern family meals

and dinner party dishes. This pot is convenient as well as looking good

enough to take straight to the table for serving. (Always place the

ceramic pot on a heat proof mat or surface).

This method of cooking is ideal for preparing tougher cuts of meat,

giving them the long, gentle simmering that ensures that they become

tender and full of ﬂavour.
