Operating Instructions

General Slow Cooking

3. Cover the pot with the tempered glass lid.
4. Plug the slow cooker into a standard 110V electrical outlet.

Stovetop Searing Function

The removable metal searing pot can be used directly on a stovetop burner (gas or electric) to sear meats or sauté vegetables before slow cooking. This helps to lock in flavors and create a richer taste profile.

1. Remove the metal searing pot from the slow cooker base unit.
2. Place the pot directly on your stovetop burner over medium-high heat.
3. Add a small amount of oil or fat, then add your ingredients for searing or sautéing.
4. Cook until desired browning is achieved.
5. Carefully transfer the hot pot back into the slow cooker base unit.
6. Proceed with your slow cooking recipe as usual.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper care and cleaning will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Magic Mill Slow Cooker.

1. Always unplug the slow cooker from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Removable Pot and Lid: The metal searing pot and tempered glass lid are dishwasher safe. For best results and to preserve the non-stick coating, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge is recommended. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Base Unit: Wipe the exterior of the base unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Never immerse the base unit in water or any other liquid.
4. Stubborn Food Residue: If food sticks to the pot, fill it with warm, soapy water and let it soak for a few minutes before cleaning. Do not use metal utensils or harsh chemicals that could damage the non-stick surface.
5. Storage: Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Store the slow cooker in a cool, dry place.
