3. A Guide to slow cooking
it's a gentle method of cooking retaining both the flavour and the nutrients in food.
It allows cheaper cuts of meat to be selected which will become tender and
succulent.
More delicate foods such as fish, fruit and vegetables won't break up during
cooking.
As the temperature is low, very little sticking occurs and very little stirring is
required.
HIGH cooking
On HIGH the appliance will cook on high until the desired temperature is reached.
The element then switches on and off to maintain a constant temperature. This
setting allows you to switch the slow cooker on and go out all day without
supervising the cooking process.
On the HIGH setting recipes can be cooked by one of the following methods.
HIGH-pre-cooking
Browning meat and vegetables first gives improved results in terms of flavour and
appearance, sauces will become thicker.
Pre browning must always be carried out in a saucepan or frying pan.
CAUTION : The stoneware bowl should never be placed on a cooker hob.
Cooking times will be shorter than the no-pre-cooking method.
NOTE : Boiling liquid should always be used.
