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.

Milk and milk products, for example cream

Add these 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.
