A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO SLOW COOKING

SEARING AND BROWNING BEFORE SLOW COOKING

Searing and browning in the EasySear™ pan on the stovetop may take a little extra time and whilst not strictly necessary, the rewards are evident in the end result.

The EasySear™ pan keeps the heat stable and uniform allowing the meat to brown and form an even crust. Plus searing and browning seals in the moisture, intensifies the flavour and provides more tender results.

Once searing and browning is complete, return the EasySear™ pan to the slow cooker base with all the tasty caramelized ingredients inside.

When the EasySear™ pan is used for searing on the stovetop prior to being placed in the slow cooker, cooking times will be shortened slightly. Check for doneness intermittently during cooking.

NOTE
