GENERAL POINTS FOR SLOW COOKING
Frozen Foods
Thaw thoroughly before cooking.
Thickening
Toss meat in flour for casseroles. Alternatively blend
cornflour with water and add it at the end of cooking.
Flavouring
Flavours are held in the food because there is little
evaporation. Adjust flavouring at the end of the
cooking time.
Liquid
Use slightly less liquid as there is little evaporation
during cooking. Always add milk and milk products,
for example cream towards the end of cooking to
prevent them from curdling.
Reheating
Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the
fridge.
Do not
reheat food using the slow cook
setting. Reheat food in the usual way or in a
microwave. Only reheat food once.
