FAQs
What is the main benefit of using a slow cooker?
The main benefit is convenience; you can prepare ingredients, set the cooker, and let it cook unattended, resulting in tender, flavorful meals ready when you are.
Can I use the ceramic pot in the oven?
The ceramic pot is generally oven-safe without the lid for reheating or finishing dishes, but always refer to the specific product manual for confirmation and recommended usage.
How do I clean the slow cooker base?
Wipe the exterior of the heating base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water or any other liquid.
What does the 'Keep Warm' setting do?
The 'Keep Warm' setting (54°C) maintains the cooked food at a safe serving temperature without continuing the cooking process, making it ideal for serving flexibility.
Is the 1.5-litre capacity suitable for a family?
The 1.5-litre capacity is best suited for 1-2 people or for preparing side dishes. For larger families, a bigger capacity slow cooker would be more appropriate.
Can I put frozen ingredients directly into the slow cooker?
It is generally recommended to thaw frozen ingredients before placing them in the slow cooker for more even cooking and to ensure the food reaches a safe temperature quickly.
What is the difference between the 'Low' and 'High' settings?
The 'Low' setting typically cooks at around 80°C and is suitable for longer cooking times (6-10 hours), while the 'High' setting cooks at around 95°C and is for shorter cooking times (3-5 hours).
Troubleshooting
Slow cooker not heating
Ensure the ceramic pot is correctly seated in the heating base and the unit is plugged into a working power outlet. Check if the temperature setting is correctly selected.
Food is undercooked
Increase the cooking time or select a higher temperature setting. Ensure the lid is properly sealed during cooking to retain heat and moisture.
Food is overcooked or dry
Reduce the cooking time or use the 'Low' setting. Avoid removing the lid too frequently, as this releases heat and prolongs cooking.
Ceramic pot has stuck-on food
Soak the pot in warm, soapy water for 1-2 hours or overnight. Gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge.
