Electric Slow Cooker

Slow Cooking –Tips

Most foods are suitable for slow cooking. You can make soups, stews,

curries, milk puddings etc. Below are some cooking guidelines:-

1.  Make sure all frozen ingredients are properly thawed. Always ensure frozen poultry are thoroughly defrosted and ice crystals melted.

2.  Cut the root of vegetables into small pieces as they take longer time to cook. If possible, they should be gently sautéed for 2 to 3 minutes before slow cooking.

3.  Ensure the root of vegetables are always put at the bottom of the ceramic pot and immersed in the cooking liquid.

4.  Trim excess fats from meat before cooking because the slow cooking method does not allow fats to "evaporate".

5.  Add cream, milk, eggs and other dairy products to the pot within the last 2 hours of cooking. Then cover with the glass lid as quickly as possible. It will prevent curdling.

6.  Uncooked ingredients can be gathered the night before cooking but must be kept covered and put into the fridge.

7.  Never leave uncooked foods at room temperature in the slow cooker.

8.  Do not use the slow cooker to reheat foods.

9.  Recipes that require ingredients to be sautéed first (Eg: onions, ginger etc.) should be done in a separate saucepan on a hob or stove. After that, transfer them to the ceramic pot.

10.  When adding liquid to the pot, always use boiling liquid to shorten the cooking session.

11. If you want to thicken the liquid by the end of the cooking session, turn the control knob to "HIGH". 

      Stir well with diluted corn flour.

12.  Remember to wear a mitten. The glass lid and steam vapours may be hot!

13.  Do not fill the pot more than ? its capacity.

Slow Cooking Time Guide :

Most uncooked meats will required at least 8 hours on "LOW" temperature setting.
