General points for slow cooking

Frozen foods

Thaw thoroughly before cooking.

Thickening

Toss meat in flour for casseroles. Blend cornflour with water and add at
the end of cooking.

Flavouring

Flavours are retained because there is little evaporation. Adjust at the
end of the cooking time.

Liquid

Reduce normal liquid quantities slightly as there is little evaporation
during cooking time.

Milk and milk products, for example cream

Add these towards the end of cooking to prevent them from curdling.

Reheating

Left over food should be cooled quickly and refrigerated.
Food should not be reheated using the slow cook setting. Reheat
conventionally or in a microwave. Food must only be reheated once.
