Pro Tips for Perfect Results
Slow cooking involves gently simmering food over low heat for extended time, perfect for tenderising tough cuts of meat. Venturing into slow cooking can be daunting so I’m here to share some essential tips I discovered on my journey.
Tip one: Leaner meats may require more time to breakdown, but if you’re short on time, pressure cooking can be a fantastic alternative!
Tip two: For skin-on proteins like chicken, expect the fat to breakdown, resulting in a slightly oilier texture.
Tip three: The secret to preventing a watery stew is to add a thickening agent early on. Coat meats in flour before cooking or create a slurry with flour and water when adding it later to avoid lumps. Or another trick is using starchy veggies like potatoes—they absorb excess liquid and naturally thicken the dish.
