burnt.

Slow cooking
Slow cooking, also known as low-temperature cooking, is the
ideal cooking method for tender pieces of meat that are to be
cooked medium rare or à point. Meat remains very succulent
and tender.
The benefit of this cooking method is that it allows lots of scope
for menu planning because slow-cooked meat is easy to keep
warm.
Notes
Only use fresh, good-quality meat. Carefully remove sinews
■
and fat from around the edge. Fat develops a strong, distinct
taste during slow cooking.
Larger pieces of meat do not need to be turned.
■
Meat can be carved immediately following slow cooking. No
■
standing time is required.
Due to the special cooking method, the meat looks pink, i.e.
■
medium rare. This does not mean, however, that it is raw or
not well done enough.

If you want to make gravy, cook the meat in ovenware with a
■
lid. Please note that the cooking times will be reduced.
In order to check whether the meat is cooked, use a meat
■
thermometer. A core temperature of 60 °C should be
maintained for at least 30 minutes.
Suitable ovenware
Use shallow ovenware, e.g. a porcelain serving plate or an
glass roasting dish without the lid.
Always place the uncovered ovenware on the wire rack at
