Using your One Pot Cooker
Note: When using the cooker for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze being emitted from the unit. This is normal and is due to the initial heating of internal components.
- Before using your Crock-Pot one pot cooker for the first time, remove the crock insert and lid and wash them in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly and replace.
- Place the cooker on a flat level surface.
- Prepare the food to be cooked and place inside the cooker. Replace the lid.
- Insert the plug into a 230-240V power outlet and turn the power ON.
- Select the desired setting on the temperature control dial: LOW, HIGH, or KEEP WARM.
Note: Do not place very cold or frozen food in the crock insert if it has been preheated as this may cause the crock insert to crack.Note: Transfer cooked food from the crock insert into an airtight container before storing in fridge or freezer.Note: Do not place the crock insert under cold water if it is still hot.Note: The crock insert is oven safe so you can reheat your precooked dishes in an oven preheated to no more than 160ºC.Important: Food should not be cooked on the KEEP WARM setting as this will not get hot enough to cook. This setting should only be used to keep hot, cooked food warm for serving.Important: Maximum food capacity is 1.1kg whole piece of meat.
Hints and Tips
- When cooking with vegetables, place them in the crock insert first, and then place the meat on top.
- Always ensure that food or liquid comes to at least half way up the wall of the crock insert, as the element is located on the sides of the cooker.
- When roasting whole pieces of lamb, beef or chicken, it is not necessary to add liquid. Pot roasts and corned meats should be barely covered with liquid.
- Do not use oven bags in your one pot cooker.
- Frozen foods can be placed in the cold cooker and heated for 5-8 hours, depending on the quantity. Do not place frozen food into a heated cooker.
- If a recipe results in too much liquid, turn the one pot cooker to the HIGH setting, remove the lid and cook until sufficient liquid has evaporated.
- To thicken a sauce, set the cooker to the HIGH setting and stir through a thickening agent such as cornflour combined with a little water. Allow to simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Stirring is rarely necessary, as the element wraps around the sides of the cooker, preventing the food from sticking to the base.
- Leave the lid on the cooker during cooking to maintain heat and moisture.
