Slow cooking

Slow cooking is the ideal cooking method for all tender pieces of meat which are to be cooked rare or very rare. The meat remains very juicy and turns out as soft as butter. Advantage: this gives you flexibility when planning meals, since the cooking times for slow cooking are generally longer. Slow-cooked meat can be kept warm easily.

Suitable ovenware

Use ovenware made out of glass, porcelain or ceramic and with a lid, e.g. a glass roasting dish.

Method

1. Preheat the warming drawer containing the ovenware at setting 4.
2. Rapidly heat a little fat in a pan. Sear the meat over a high heat and then place it directly into the warmed ovenware. Place the lid on top.
3. Put the ovenware with the meat back in the warming drawer and complete the cooking. Set the function selector to setting 3.

Notes on slow cooking

Only use high-quality, fresh meat for this. Carefully remove sinews and fat. Fat develops a strong, distinct taste during slow cooking.

The meat should not be turned even if it is a large joint.

You can cut the meat immediately after slow cooking. It is not necessary to leave the meat to stand.

This particular cooking method always leaves the inside of the meat medium rare. However, this does not mean that it is raw or not properly cooked.

Meat that has been slow-cooked is not as hot as meat that has been cooked conventionally. Serve the sauce very hot. Place the plates in the warming drawer for the last 20-30 minutes.

Turn the oven back to setting 2 after slow cooking in order to keep the slow-cooked meat warm. You can keep small pieces of meat warm for up to 45 minutes, and large pieces for up to two hours.

Table

All tender joints of beef, pork, veal, lamb, game, and poultry are suitable for slow cooking. Searing and braising times depend on the size of the piece of meat.

The times for searing refer to the meat being placed in hot fat.
