Hints and Tips - continued

Roasts

•With your VersaCook, you can roast a whole chicken as well as whole pieces of meat. Try lamb, beef, veal and pork by simply using the Slow Cook function.

•Roasts can be cooked without the addition of liquid. However they will release juices while cooking. These juices are perfect for making sauces and gravies.

•To make a sauce or gravy with the roast juices, remove the meat and cover with foil to keep warm. Set the Brown function to 210°C and stir through some cornflour mixed with a little water. Allow to simmer, stirring until thickened. You can also add some stock or wine to stretch the gravy a little further and add great flavour.

•Do not use oven bags in the VersaCook.

•Roasting in the slow cooker will not brown your meat or chicken, as roasting in an oven does. If you want your roast to be golden, we recommend using the Brown function to sear the meat first.

•Leftover roast makes great sandwiches the next day. Try the caramelised onion or tomato chutney recipe and make burgers with the leftovers!

Roasting Meat (such as beef, lamb and veal)

To get the best roasting results, we recommend sealing your meat first. Trim away any excess fat. Rub the meat with a little oil and season with salt and pepper (or any other flavourings or spices you wish to use). Set the Brown function to 210°C, and when pre-heated, cook meat for a few minutes on each side. Set the slow cooker function to LOW or HIGH and cook for the appropriate time.

Approximate cooking times for well done:

LOW

2 hours per 500g

HIGH

1 hour per 500g

Note: Unlike roasting in your oven, meat cooked to well done in the slow cooker will still be very tender.

Roasting Chicken

Wash the chicken in cold running water and pat dry with absorbent paper towel. Rub with a little olive oil and season all over with salt and pepper (or any other spices you wish). Set the brown function to 210°C and when pre-heated, cook the chicken for a few minutes on each side until golden. Set the slow cooker function to LOW or HIGH and cook for the appropriate time.

Approximate cooking times for well done:

LOW

2 hours per 500g

HIGH

1 hour per 500g

Note: Ensure chicken is cooked all the way through by inserting a skewer or knife into the meatiest part of the chicken. The juices will be clear when the chicken is cooked through. If the juices are pink, a little more cooking is required.
