Slow-cooked meat is not as hot as conventionally
roasted meat.
So that the roasted meat does not cool too fast, warm the plates and
serve the gravy very hot.
If you wish to keep slow-cooked meat warm.
After slow cooking, turn the temperature down to 70 °C. Small pieces of
meat can be kept warm for up to 45 minutes, larger pieces for up to
2 hours.
