A Beginner’s Guide to Slow Cooking

In years gone by, food cooked in large pots and allowed to simmer for hours was full of flavour, moist and tender. The Slow Cooker is designed to produce these same results, whilst leaving you the time to do other things, making it perfect for today’s busy lifestyles.

Here is a guide to help simplify the process of slow cooking, allowing you to obtain maximum satisfaction from your Slow Cooker:

Timing

Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook. It is almost impossible to over-cook in the Slow Cooker particularly when using the Low Setting.

Most of the recipes contained within this book can be cooked on the High or Low settings, however the cooking times will vary accordingly. Each recipe will give specific instructions indicating the appropriate settings and suggested cooking times.

Adapting Cooking Time

Your favourite traditional recipes can be adapted easily by halving the amount of liquid and increasing the cooking time considerably. The following is a guide to adjusting your favourite recipes:

NOTE: High humidity, altitude, cold tap water and ingredients and minor fluctuations may slightly affect the cooking times in the Slow Cooker.

NOTE: These times are approximate. Times can vary depending on ingredients and quantities in recipes.

Adapting Liquid Amounts

When food is cooking in your Slow Cooker, most moisture is retained. To allow for this when using traditional recipes it is advisable to halve the liquid content.

However, after cooking if the liquid quantity is excessive, remove the lid and operate the Slow Cooker on the High Setting for 30–45 minutes or until the liquid reduces by the desired amount. Alternatively, the liquid can be thickened by adding a mixture of cornflour and water.

Stirring the Food

Little or no stirring is required when using the Low Setting. However, stirring the food when using the High setting ensures more even flavour distribution.
