• Uncooked red beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes to remove toxins before use in a
health cooker.
• Authentic stoneware is fired at high temperatures; therefore the ceramic pot may have minor surface
blemishes and 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".
• Do not put the ceramic pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, and microwave or on a gas/electrical hob.
• Do not subject the ceramic pot to sudden changes in temperature. Adding cold water to a very hot pot
could cause it to crack.
• Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (You can leave water in the pot to soak).
• There is an area on the base of the ceramic pot that has to remain unglazed for manufacturing purposes.
This unglazed area is porous and will soak up water when immersed in it.
This should be avoided.
• Do not switch the cooker on when the ceramic pot is empty or out of the base.
Tips for slow cooking
• The slow cooker pot must be at least half full for best results.
• Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce moisture in the cooker, remove the lid after cooking
and turn the control to high (if set to low or warm) and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.
• The lid is not a sealed fit. Don't remove unnecessarily as the built up heat will escape. Each time you
remove the lid, allow an additional 10 minutes to the cooking time.
• If cooking soups, leave a 5 cm space between the top of the cook pot and the food surface to allow
simmering.
• Many recipes demand all day cooking, if you do not have time to prepare food that morning prepare
it the night before and store the food in a covered container in the refrigerator. Transfer the food to the
ceramic pot and add liquid/gravy. Select the setting low, high or warm.
• Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on low. 4-6 hours on high.
• Food can be kept warm in the slow cooker for up to 4 hours. Pass 4 hours and food contents may start to
become dry or the flavor may alter. Food cooked in other appliances can be transferred to the slow cooker
to keep warm as well.
