Quality glass lid

and 	moisture 	for 	best 	results. 	The 	transparent	
glass 	allows 	you 	to 	view 	the 	food 	during	
cooking 	without 	lifting 	the 	lid, 	preventing 	the	
heat 	from 	escaping.
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....

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...

•	 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.
•	 Cut 	meat 	and 	vegetables 	into 	standard 	size	
pieces 	for 	even 	cooking.
•	 when 	cooking 	with 	vegetables, 	place 	them	
in 	the 	crock...

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
