COOKING GUIDELINES

Vegetables
Slow cooking is ideal for vegetables. There's little evaporation, so all the juices and flavours are retained.
Root vegetables like potato, carrot, turnip, and swede, need more slow cooking than meat. Cut them into bite-size pieces and immerse in the cooking
liquid. Place the vegetables as close to the bottom of the pot as possible.
Quickly cooked vegetables, like peas and sweet corn, should be added half an hour before the end of cooking.
Pulses (Beans, Peas and Lentils)
Some dried pulses (lentils, peas, etc.) may need soaking before use. Always check any recommendations on the packaging before using.
WARNING dried beans (e.g. red kidney beans, cannellini, etc.) should be soaked for a minimum of 8 hours and boiled for at least 10 minutes before adding
to the slow cooker. They're poisonous if eaten raw or undercooked.
Meat and Poultry
• Slow cooking tenderises cheaper cuts, and reduces shrinkage and evaporation, retaining flavour and nutritional value. The leanest cuts of meat are
best for slow cooking.
• Trim excess fat from the meat because this can add to the liquid during cooking in the form of fat.
• Where possible, use chicken without skin.
• Cut the meat into evenly sized cubes (approx. 2.5 cm) for casseroles and stews.
Suitable cuts include:
Beef - Brisket, shin, silverside, topside, stewing steak, braising steak, chuck
Pork - Leg, shoulder, belly, cheek, chump
Lamb - Shanks, leg, shoulder, neck
