SLOW COOKING TIPS
•
If you are short on preparation time and would prefer to skip
the searing stage, simply add your meat and other ingredients
into your Slow Cooker and cover with boiling liquid/stock. You
will need to increase the recipe cooking time as follows: High
s1hr, Medium s1-2 hrs, Low S2-3hrs.
•
Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on Low
Setting, 6-8 hours on Medium setting or 4-6 hours on High
setting.
•
Some ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking. Pasta,
seafood, milk and cream should be added towards the end of
the cooking time.
•
Pieces of food cut into small pieces will cook quicker. A
degree of ‘trial and error’ will be required to fully optimise the
potential of your Slow Cooker.
•
All food should be covered with a liquid, gravy or sauce. In a
separate pan or jug, prepare your liquid, gravy or sauce and
completely cover the food in the Cooking Pot (3).
•
When cooking joints of meat, ham, poultry etc, the size and
shape of the joint is important. Try to keep the joint in the lower
2/3 of the pot. If necessary, cut into two pieces. Joint weight
should be kept within the maximum limit of 1kg.
•
For ham and brisket fill with hot water to just cover the joint.
For beef, pork or poultry cover to 1/3 depth.
