Slow cooking

The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven.  It is particularly
useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the
long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender.
You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn the
oven down to the slow cook setting. This makes sure that the
temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.

Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow

cooking because  the temperature is too low.

Cover all food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can

uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally served golden brown.
