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.
