Features Control knob and temperature settings
The control knob on the slow cooker offers a low, high and medium temperature setting for cooking. This setting allows you to adapt the cooking time to your convenience.
The MED (MEDIUM) setting is the standard setting for slow cooking with this product. This gives you an average of 6-8 hours cooking time.
However if you wish to extend the cooking period, you can use the LOW setting and if you wish to shorten the cooking period you can use the HIGH setting.

About slow cooking
• Slow cooking has always been the best way to prepare a nutritious hot meal with minimum preparation and maximum free time away from the kitchen. Morphy Richards has brought this style of cooking right up to date with this modern, cooking system.
• Traditionally slow cooking has centred on soups and casseroles but with this oval ceramic crock pot you can also produce most modern family meals and dinner party dishes. This pot is convenient as well as looking good enough to take straight to the table for serving. (Always place the crock pot on a heat proof mat or surface).
• This method of cooking is ideal for preparing tougher cuts of meat, giving them the long, gentle simmering that ensures that they become tender and full of flavour.
IMPORTANT
The slow cooker works by building up heat and maintaining an even temperature. To get the best cooking results, do not remove the lid during cooking, since this will lose heat and therefore slow down the cooking time. The glass lid allows you to monitor the cooking progress without interrupting the cooking time.
Suitable foods for slow cooking
• Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods, however there are a few guidelines that need to be followed.
• Make sure all frozen ingredients are well thawed out.
• Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take longer to cook than meat. They should be gently sauted for 2-3 minutes before slow cooking. Ensure that root vegetables are always placed at the bottom of the pot and all ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid.
• Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, since the slow cooking method does not allow fat to evaporate.
• If adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking, you may need to cut down on the amount of liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate from the slow cooker to the same extent as with conventional cooking.
• Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.
• Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.
• Uncooked red beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes to remove toxins before use in a slow cooker.
• Insert a meat thermometer into joints of roasts, hams, or whole chickens to ensure they are cooked to the desired temperature.
4
Do’s and Don’ts for the crock pot
• Authentic stoneware is fired at high temperatures therefore the crock pot may have minor surface blemishes, 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 crock pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, microwave or on a gas/electrical hob.
• Do not pre-heat before adding ingredients.
• Do not subject the crock 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 crock pot that has to remain unglazed for manufacturing purposes. This unglazed area is porous, therefore will soak up water, this should be avoided.
• Do not switch the cooker on when the crock pot is empty or out of the base.
Tips for slow cooking
• The slow cooker must be at least half full for best results.
• Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce this, remove the lid after cooking and turn the control to high (if set to low or medium) and reduce by simmering 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 10 minutes extra cooking time.
• If cooking soups, leave 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 fridge. Transfer the food to the crock pot and add boiling liquid/gravy. Select the setting low, high or medium.
• Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on low. 4-6 hours on high and 5-7 hours on medium.
• Do not use frozen meat or poultry unless it is thoroughly thawed out first.
• Some ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking.
Pasta, seafood, milk, and cream should be added towards the end of the cooking time. Many things can affect how quickly a recipe will cook, water and fat content, initial temperature of the food and the size of the food.
• Pieces of food cut into small pieces will cook quicker. A degree of ‘trial and error’ will be required to fully optimize the potential of your slow cooker.
• Vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat, so try and arrange vegetables in the lower half of the pot.
• After food is cooked switch off and leave covered with the lid. There will be enough heat in the crock pot to keep warm for 30 minutes. If you require longer to keep warm switch to the low setting.
• All food should be covered with a liquid, gravy or sauce. In a separate pan or jug prepare your liquid, gravy or sauce and completely cover the food in the crock pot.
• Pre-brown meat and onions in a pan to seal in the juices this also reduces the fat content if separated before adding to the crock pot. This is not necessary if the time is limited, but improves the flavour.
• When cooking joints of meat, ham, poultry etc the size and shape of the joint is important. Try to keep the joint in the lower 2 /
3
of the pot and fully cover with water. If necessary cut in two pieces. Joint weight should be kept within the maximum limit.

Cooking guide
The cooking times given in the following recipes are for the
‘MEDIUM’ setting. Should you want to increase or reduce the time please refer to the cooking guide in the table below.
Please note that these cooking times are for guidance only and may vary depending on food type and personal tastes.
For your convenience a conversion table for weight and volume has been included on page 11.
Cook on MEDIUM Cook on LOW Cook on HIGH
4-6 hours
6-8 hours
8-10 hours
6-8 hours
8-10 hours
10-12 hours
3-4 hours
5-6 hours
7-8 hours
Eg. If the recipe says cook for 4-6 hours (MED) and you require this to be a shorter time cook on HIGH, which will reduce the cooking time to 3-4 hours. Increasing the time choose LOW which will give 6-8 hours.
The recipes are based on MAXIMUM WORKING
VOLUMES which are:
6.5 litres - 48715 model
Working capacity 4 1 /

Put the beef into a pan and cover with cold water. Add all the remaining ingredients, cover and bring to a simmer. Season well and then transfer all the ingredients to the slow crock pot.
Place the crock pot in the slow cooker base. Place the lid over onto the slow cooker. Cook for approx. 5 - 7 hours. Take the beef out of the slow cooker with a slotted spoon and allow to cool for 10 minutes. The cooking liquid can be used as a base to make gravy. Cut the beef into slices and spoon a little of the cooking liquid over. Serve with vegetables and garnish with fresh parsley.
IMPORTANT
When buying a joint of meat, make sure that it will fit the slow cook pot. It should fit into the crock pot so that when it is covered with liquid it will still be 2.5cm below the rim of the pot. The joint must not stick out above the rim and there should be enough room to cover the meat with water. The shape of the meat is just as important as the weight.

IMPORTANT
When buying a joint of meat, make sure that it will fit the size of the slow crock pot. It should fit into the crock pot so that when it is covered with liquid it will still be 2.5cm below the rim of the pot. The joint must not stick out above the rim and there should be enough room to cover the meat with water. The shape of the meat is just as important as the weight.
