Browning before slow cooking

Pre-browning meat and poultry, prior to slow cooking, seals in the
moisture, intensifies the flavour and provides more tender results,
whilst producing richer flavours in other food, such as onions, cap-
sicums and leeks. Pre-browning may take a little extra time, and
whilst not strictly necessary, the rewards are evident in the end
results. Use a non-stick pan to reduce the amount of oil required.

Roasting

Roasting meats in the Slow cooker creates tender, flavoursome
result that are easy to slice.The long, slow, covered cooking
process breaks down and softens the connective and muscle tissue
within the meat. Cheaper cuts of meat can be used to provide per-
fect results cooked by this method.
Meat will not brown during the roasting process, so for browner
results seal in a frying pan before roasting.
The addition of liquid is not required for roasting.
Elevate the meat to be roasted on an inverted, heatproof saucer or
plate.This will assist in keeping the surface of the meat dry and
free from any fat released throughout the cooking process.
