slow-cooking tips
This cooking method is a favorite for good reason: it’s easy and results in a tender, flavorful meal. Put a recipe together in the morning, let it cook throughout the day and you’ll come home to a tasty meal (and the wonderful aroma) awaiting you.
HOW TO SLOW-COOK
Slow cooking typically involves combining ingredients and cooking over low heat for an extended period of time. This method can create a variety of flavors and cuisine types depending on the seasonings used. Depending on the individual recipe, slow cooking can use a lot or a little bit of liquid and you can use the left over cooking liquid for a sauce by thickening or reducing it.
For best results, it’s always best to refer to the individual recipe and the manufacturer’s instructions on cooking time and temperatures.
