Slow cooking
Slow cooking is ideal for cooking tender meat which needs to
be medium rare or rare. This cooking method means the meat
will always be pink inside. This does not, however, mean that
the meat is raw or undercooked.
This cooking method not only keeps the juices inside, but it also
makes it easy to keep the meat hot.
Suitable dishes to use: glass, porcelain or ceramic with a lid.
Procedure
1. Preheat the warming drawer with the chosen dish to the
maximum temperature for 15 minutes.
2. Heat some butter or oil in a pan. Brown the meat well for
the time indicated in the table, then place it immediately in
the preheated pan and cover with the lid.
3. Set the thermostat between MED/MAX (140/195°F
-60/90°C) for the time required to finish the cooking.
Table
Slow cooking is suitable for all tender cuts of beef, pork, veal, lamb, game and poultry. The initial browning times and the
subsequent cooking times depend on the size of the slices of meat.
The time parameters refer to meat placed in a pan with preheated butter or oil.
DISH EXAMPLE

NOTE: There are 2 settings: MAX and MED.
Guidelines for cooking times are 4 to 5 hours for MAX and 8 to 10 hours for MED.
Smaller quantities of food may require less time, while larger quantities may require more time.
Warnings for slow cooking
- Only use fresh meat in perfect condition.
- Trim off any excess fat.
- The pieces of meat do not necessarily have to be turned.
- Once cooked, the meat can be carved immediately; it does
not have to rest.
- Meat that is slow cooked is not as hot as meat cooked in
the traditional way, so it is advisable to put the plates in the
warming drawer on the left-hand side for the last 20-30
minutes as well.
- Serve the meat with piping hot sauces.
- If you want to keep the meat hot after cooking, turn the
thermostat knob to between 40°C and 60°C. The smaller
pieces of meat can be kept hot for 45 minutes and the
larger pieces for two hours.
