B. Operating instructions
Slow cooking involves cooking food very gently in its own juice
or in a sauce, generally in a casserole. After adding a liquid, the
preparation is then covered again with the lid and simmered over
low heat for the preparation time called for in the recipe.
For traditional dishes (beef Bourguignon, mutton stew, Provençal
stew, etc.) it is preferable to brown the meat over high heat before
cooking it in the bowl to eliminate fat and give it a colour that will
improve the taste of your preparation.
• Put the recipe ingredients in the bowl.
• Place the cooking bowl on the base.
• Cover with the lid.
• Turn the unit on.
• Set to the desired cooking setting (blue diode).
• Set the desired cooking time in 30-minute increments.
• When the cooking is nished, the unit will switch automatically
over to the keep warm setting.
• Turn the unit o at the desired time or allow it to turn itself o
after 8 hours.
Adjusting the timer: Lets you programme the cooking time
according to the type of food.
Programming is divided into 30-minute increments over 24 hours.
Once the cooking time nishes, the unit automatically switches to
the keep warm setting (for 8 hours).
