hints on using your curry  
cooker  
before using for the first time  
Wash the parts ‘see cleaning’  
1
Prepare and use ingredients at  
room temperature rather than  
straight from the refrigerator.  
However ingredients such as meat  
and fish should not be left out of  
the refrigerator for longer than is  
necessary, so remove from the  
refrigerator just to take the chill off  
and keep covered with cling film or  
plastic wrap.  
Cut root vegetables such as  
carrots, onions, swedes etc into  
fairly small pieces as they take  
longer to cook than meat.  
Cut each type of ingredient into  
even sized pieces, this will assist  
with even cooking.
