Recipe
INTRODUCTION
A slow cooker is an electric kitchen device that simmers at very low temperatures when compared to other methods of cooking, which implies that meals such as dips, desserts, beverages, stews, soups, pot roasts and so on can be cooked unattended to, for many hours. A wide variety of meals can be made in the slow cooker without compromising the time needed to attend to schedules, engagements and other house chores.
Slow Cooking Hacks & Tricks
The slow cooker, if fully harnessed, is an awesome cooking machine that makes cooking less demanding with little or no supervision. Your food can be prepped over few hours while you attend to other important schedules and activities. Below are few hacks and tricks to help you save time and help get the best from your slow cooker.
a) Prep Ahead: You can prepare all the ingredients needed for a meal the night before, place in a slow cooker insert, cover and refrigerate. Few minutes before cooking, take out the slow cooker insert from the refrigerator and set aside for 20 minutes until the insert is considerably returned to room temperature. If you are making a recipe that has ingredients that needs heating before slow cooking, refrigerate such ingredients in separate containers, heat and move into the slow cooker to slow cook.
b) Avoid Time Wastage: As much as you can, keep away from recipes that involves so much pre-preparation. This will save the effort and time needed for other valuable things. Cut out as much preparation drama as you can, or find a way around it that works for you. Dump your ingredients into the slow cooker and get a snack as you wait for the sumptuous breakfast.
c) Cut Out The Fat: Trim off the fat from the meat, when cooking recipes with meat. This will make your cooking healthier and prevent your stew from having oil pools after cooking.
d) Less Meat More Veggies: When you cook meaty meals, the slow cooker easily saturates the whole dish with the meaty flavour even with a smaller amount of meat. The good news is that, in some recipes, you can reduce the meat and increase the veggies, which saves you money and ensures healthier eating.
e) Cornflour & Seasoned Flour Thickening: To thicken your sauces or cooking liquid, add a little cold water to 1-2 tsps cornflour, combine and stir into the simmering slow cooker mixture at the end and cover until solidified. You can also dip your meat into seasoned flour until evenly coated before transferring into the slow cooker.
f) Water Limit: Use less water if you are cooking a regular recipe, since the slow cooker doesn't encourage evaporation. The water should be just enough to cover veggies and the meat. Make sure you do not fill your slow cooker to the brim with water.
g) Walk Away: Walk away once you have started cooking, except the recipe calls for timely supervision. Opening the slow cooker's cover every now and then will only extend the cook time automatically because heat will be lost, every time you open the slow cooker pot during the cooking process.
h) Flavour Infusion: To get the best out of each recipe, it is best to cook on low. For the slow cooker, the longer the meal takes, the better the flavour infused.
Slow Cooking Time Chart
Root veggies should be placed close to the source of heat at the base of the slow cooker pot to speed up cooking. Fresh herbs, pasta and rice should be added to the slow cooker pot towards the end of the cooking, except stated otherwise. Stove top recipes can be modified for the slow cooker and during adaptation, time is a crucial factor.
