What is slow cooking?
Slow cooking is a traditional one-pot method of cooking
meals such as casseroles, soups, pot roasts and curries. The
ingredients may include meat and/or vegetables and water or
stock for the cooking process. The ingredients are added into
the cook pot, then gentle heat is applied to the cook pot during
the cooking process.
Ingredients can be prepared in advance the evening before and
refrigerated overnight in the cook pot. The slow cooker can then
be switched on in the morning and left to cook all day to provide
a tasty meal in the evening.
There are many slow cooking recipe books available.
