‘one-step’
Use this method when time is at a premium – While the slow cooker preheats, boil the
stock/cooking liquid in a pan. When the slow cooker has heated up, remove the lid (use
oven gloves) and put it on a heatproof surface. Put the raw ingredients into the crock
pot and add the boiling cooking liquid. Replace the lid (use oven gloves).
‘browning’
This takes longer, but the results are usually worth it – While the slow cooker preheats,
brown meat and vegetables in a pan. If you use a tinned cooking sauce, add it to the
cooking liquid. Boil the cooking liquid in a pan. When the slow cooker has heated up,
remove the lid (use oven gloves) and put it on a heatproof surface. Put the ingredients
into the cooking pot and add the boiling cooking liquid. Replace the lid (use oven gloves).
