Dean EdwardsDo you love your slow cooker but struggle for inspiration and the correct way to use it? I’m gonna show you loads of tips and tricks to help you on your way. Here is part 1 of slow cooker masterclass to make cooking banging recipes in your slow cooker a breeze. Tips Below 👇🏼🔥👏🏼 1: you don’t actually need lots of liquid to cook within your slow cooker pot, quite often even 100 mil of stock or wine will be more than enough to create a delicious sauce for your meal, when you add too much liquid, it will dilute the flavour and it won’t be the rich flavours you were expecting. 2: did you know you can bake in your slow cooker? Recipes like my banging sticky toffee pudding are real family favourite. A tea towel tucked under the lid whilst cooking will stop any liquid evaporating in the pot from recycling back into what you’re cooking. 3: do not under any circumstance lift the lid unnecessarily, a stir halfway through can sometimes benefit but every time you lift the lid you add time to your cook. I know it it’s nice to peak but trust me it’s not worth it. Just wait until the end. 4: slow cookers or an incredibly energy efficient way of cooking. Costing a fraction what it takes to run conventional fan oven. So if you’re looking to save money on your energy bills throughout the year, then this is a great way to cook. 5: if you find your sauce isn’t thick enough then you can use a cornflour slurry, added to the end of the cooking time will do the trick. It’s a great tip to have on standby in case you’ve added too much liquid. #slowcooker #crockpot #slowcookerrecipes #slowcookermeals #slowcookerseason
