Slow cooker Please read and keep these instructions

Getting the best from your new appliance... Safety Never touch the outer enclosure of the slow cooker during it’s operation or before it has cooled down. Use oven gloves when removing the lid or ceramic pot. Efficiency Removing the lid will allow valuable heat to escape, reducing the efficiency of your slow cooker and increasing the cooking time. If you remove the lid more than a couple of times to stir or add ingredients, then you will need to allow 10-15 minutes extra cooking time each time you remove the lid. Enjoy the benefits Slow cooking gives you convenient, versatile and flavoursome food. Longer cooking times allow better distribution of flavours, giving them time to blend and season the food. A slow cooker heats food gently, making it a great way to cook meats, less expensive cuts in particular, such as stewing beef, which are tenderised through the long cooking process. Remember, there are no limits to the potential uses of your slow cooker, only your imagination!
