    BROWninG The rst step is still browning the

    meat or poultry, usually followed by cooking the

    onion, garlic and other avouring elements. This

    usually happens in a Dutch oven or large skillet.

    POSiTiOn Placing ingredients in the slow cooker

    may be slightly different. Because root vegetables

    take longer to cook through in a slow cooker, cutthem into pieces no larger that 1 inch (2.5 cm)

    and place them in the slow cooker rst, under meat

    or poultry.

    SETTinG Choose low setting for most recipes. High

    heat tends to toughen meat and poultry and make

    them stringy.

    Liquid Unlike cooking on top of the stove or in

    the oven, theres no place for the liquid to

    evaporate. Most recipes will require about 50 per

    cent less liquid in a slow cooker. However, if afteradjusting the recipe you nd you do have too much

    liquid at the end of cooking time, skim fat off

    surface and strain liquid into a large shallow

    saucepan. Boil hard until liquid reaches desired

    consistency and avour. Thickening agents, such

    as our and cornstarch, are always added near the

    end of cooking.

    inGREdiEnTS Flavours of herbs and spices fade in

    a slow cooker. Add an extra little sprinkle to spark

    up the dish just before serving. This is especially

    important with fresh herbs. As well, add green

    pepper near the end of cooking because it becomes

    bitter. To prevent dairy products from separating,

    add them only near the end of cooking.
