Gravy / sauce

Slow cooking retains more of the juices than normal cooking. This tends to increase the 

volume of cooking liquid and thin the sauce or gravy. To allow for this, sauces should 

initially be thicker than normal. Anything to be sautéed could be tossed in seasoned flour 

beforehand, to thicken the gravy/sauce. 

Soup

If homemade soup appeals to you, then try some in your slow cooker. Tasty, homemade 

soups can be left simmering all day or overnight. Soup benefits from long cooking, 

so there is no need to worry if it is left for a few hours longer than intended. Flavours 

develop and infuse slowly and gently.

Tips for making soup in your slow cooker:

•  Trim and cut up the meat and/or vegetables to similar sized portions to ensure even 

cooking.

•  Sear food lightly in a large pan with a little cooking oil for a richer flavour.

•  For a thicker soup, stir in flour or cornflour, and then gradually add stock.

•  Do not add milk until the final half hour of cooking. 

•  Cream or egg yolk may be added just before serving.

Recipes

There are a few recipes in this book to get you started, and there are also a number of 

excellent slow cooker recipes available at:

www.foodandhomeliving.com.au OR www.foodandhomeliving.co.nz

Use them initially to familiarise yourself with the capabilities of your slow cooker. Then 

using them as a guide, vary the ingredients, vary the quantities and taste the results. Keep 

notes, write down what changes you make, and you will quickly build up a range of recipes 

which suit your taste. Keep notes of the not so successful ones as well, so that you know 

what not to do next time.

To adapt your own recipes for the slow cooker, we suggest you find a recipe which uses 

similar ingredients and use that as a guide for timing and liquid quantity, along with the 

food preparation guidelines given earlier. Be careful with quantities – once all the initial 

ingredients are put in the ceramic bowl, it shouldn’t be more than ¾ full, to allow for 

expansion.
