Slow cook The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender. Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow cooking because the temperature is too low. Cover all food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally served golden brown.
Food preparation – slow cooking Joints of meat and poultry Milk puddings • Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb). • Do not cook poultry over 2 kg (4lb 8oz). • Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above. • Cook stuffing separately. • Cook for at least six hours. • Only cook joints of pork if you can make sure, by using a meat thermometer, that the temperature inside the joint is at least 88°C. • For good air circulation always stand joints on a rack in a roasting tin or casserole.
