Beginner’s Guide to Slow Cooking
In years gone by, food cooked in
large pots and allowed to simmer for
hours was full of flavour, moist and
tender. slow cooker is designed to
produce these same results, whilst
leaving you the time to do other
things, making it perfect for today’s
busy lifestyles.
Here is a guide to help simplify the
process of slow cooking, allowing
you to obtain maximum satisfaction
from your slow cooker.

the food to cook. It is almost
impossible to overcook in the slow
cooker particularly when using the
Low Setting.
Most of the recipes contained within
this book can be cooked on the High
or Low setting, however the cooking
times will vary accordingly. Each
recipe will give specific instructions
indicating the appropriate settings
and suggested cooking times.

Your favourite traditional recipes
can be adapted easily by halving
the amount of liquid and increasing
the cooking time considerably. The
