Slow cook
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.
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.
Using slow cook
