Soups, casseroles and stews

Do not cook casseroles over 3kg (6lb).

Do not cook two (1.8kg) (2lb) casseroles on slow cook setting at the same time.

Cook in the middle of the oven or above. Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil. Cook for up to 9 hours.

Vegetables

Cut into small pieces.

Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15 minutes before adding to any dish.

To prevent vegetables from discolouring, add lemon juice. Place vegetables under meat in casseroles.

Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil. Cook for up to 6 hours.

Milk puddings

Make the pudding in the usual way.

For delicate puddings such as egg custard, place the dish in a bain

lmarie and cover the dish with tin foil. Cook for 2 - 4 hours.

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.
