Preparing For Use - Crock-Pot SCV400 Notice D'utilisation

Table des Matières

Before you use your slow cooker, remove all packaging components and wash the lid and stoneware with warm soapy

water and dry thoroughly. Never immerse the heating base, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by

certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a heat sensitive surface. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under

your slow cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.

Please use caution when placing your stoneware on a ceramic or smooth glass top cooking stove, countertop, table, or

other surface. Due to the nature of the stoneware, the rough bottom surface may scratch some surfaces if caution is not

used. Always place protective padding under stoneware before setting on table or countertop.

USING YOUR CROCK-POT

Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your ingredients into the stoneware and cover with the lid.

Plug in your Crock-Pot

selector.

NOTE: The WARM setting is ONLY for keeping food that has already been cooked warm. DO NOT cook on the

WARM setting. We do not recommend using the WARM setting for more than 4 hours.

When cooking has finished, unplug your slow cooker and allow it to cool before cleaning.

USAGE NOTES

•

If desired, you can manually switch to the WARM setting when your recipe has finished cooking.

•

To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾ full and conform to the recommended cooking times.

•

Do not overfill the stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill the stoneware higher than ¾ full.

•

Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking to

allow the heat to build up efficiently.

•

Always wear oven gloves when handling the lid or stoneware.

•

Unplug when cooking has finished and before cleaning.

•

The removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. DO NOT use the removable stoneware on a gas or

electric hob or under a grill. The lid is NOT ovenproof or microwave safe.

This guide is designed to help you adapt your own and other recipes for your slow cooker. Many of the normal preparatory

steps are unnecessary when using your slow cooker. In most cases all ingredients can go into your slow cooker at once

and cook all day. General:

•

Allow sufficient cooking time.

•

Always cook with the lid on.

•

For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning, always ensure an adequate amount of liquid is used in the

recipe.

RECIPE TIME

15 - 30 minutes

30 - 45 minutes

50 minutes - 3 hours

PASTA AND RICE:

•

For best results, use long grain rice unless the recipe states otherwise. If the rice is not cooked completely after the

suggested time, add an extra 1 to 1½ cups of liquid per cup of cooked rice and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.

•

For best pasta results, add the pasta to the Crock-Pot
