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.
When set to high the cooking times become much closer.
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 2-3 hours. Increasing the time
choose LOW which will give 6-8 hours.
The recipes are based on MAXIMUM WORKING
VOLUMES which is 4 litres (7 Pts).
This allows a 2-3cm space between the top of the cook pot
and the food.
