Browning before slow cooking

Pre-browning meat and poultry, prior to slow cooking, seals in the moisture, intensifies the flavour and provides more tender results, whilst producing richer flavours in other food, such as onions, capsicums and leeks. Pre-browning may take a little extra time, and whilst not strictly necessary, the rewards are evident in the end results. Use a non-stick pan to reduce the amount of oil required.

Roasting

Roasting meats in the Kambrook Profile Slow Cooker creates tender, flavoursome results that are easy to slice. The long, slow, covered cooking process breaks down and softens the connective and muscle tissue within the meat. Cheaper cuts of meat can be used to provide perfect results cooked by this method.

Meat will not brown during the roasting process, so for browner results seal in a frypan before roasting.

The addition of liquid is not required for roasting. Elevate the meat to be roasted on an inverted, heatproof saucer or plate. This will assist in keeping the surface of the meat dry and free from any fat released throughout the cooking process.

Whole fresh chickens can be roasted but if chickens that have been frozen and thawed are used they may release a significant amount of liquid into the removable crockery bowl whereby the chicken is pot-roasted or steamed in this liquid.

Preparing vegetables

Vegetables should be cut into even-sized pieces to ensure more even cooking. Frozen vegetables must be thawed before adding to other foods for cooking in the Kambrook Profile Slow Cooker.

Preparing dried beans and pulses

If time permits, overnight soaking of dried beans and pulses is preferable. After soaking, drain the beans or pulses then place into the removable crockery bowl then pour in water that is double the volume of beans. Ensure the removable crockery bowl is at least ½ to 34 full. Cook beans on the HiGH Setting for 2-4 hours or until tender. Pre-soaked beans and pulses will cook a little faster.
