Suitable Foods for Slow Cooking & Preparation
Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods; however, there are a few guidelines that need to be followed.
• Cutrootvegetableintosmall,evenpieces,astheytakelongertocookthanmeat.Theyshouldbegently
sautéed for 2-3minutes 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.
1. Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, since the slow cooking method does not allow fat to evaporate.
2. 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.
3. Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the Slow cooker.
4. Do not use the Slow cooker to reheat food.
5. Uncooked red beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes to remove toxins before use in a
slow cooker.
6. Insert a meat thermometer into joints of roasts, ham, or whole chickens to ensure they are cooked to the
desired temperature.
7. Authenticstonewareisredathightemperaturesthereforetheceramicpotmayhaveminorsurface
blemishes, 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 outer surface
may start appearing “crazed”.
8. Do not put the ceramic pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, and microwave or on a gas/electrical hob.
9. Do not subject the ceramic pot to sudden changes in temperature. Adding cold water to a very hot pot could
cause it to crack.
10. Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (You can leave water in the pot to soak).
11. There is an area on the base of the ceramic pot that has to remain unglazed for manufacturing purposes.
This unglazed area is porous, therefore will soak up water, this should be avoided.
