Slow cooking
Make sure that frozen foods are thorough-
ly THAWED before cooking.
Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry
weighing more than 2¼kg/4½lb.
Always use the top half of the oven for
slow cooking.
For roasting joints of meat or poultry, and
for pot roasts preheat the oven to gas
mark 6 and cook for 30 minutes, then
adjust the oven control to the “S” slow
setting for the remainder of the cooking
time.
Slow cooking times will be about three
times as long as conventional cooking
times.
