Читать книгу Slow Cooking: Easy Slow Cooker Recipes - Katie Bishop - Страница 11

In many cases your preparation will change according to how and when you are cooking your food. If, for example, you are starting your cooking in the morning so that it cooks while you are at work, ready for your return home, then throwing everything into the slow cooker in the quickest possible time will be essential. See the Afterwork Suppers chapter for lots of simple ideas that can be thrown together quickly and then left to their own devices.

Likewise, making a recipe that will cook overnight will require preparation just before you go to bed. So recipes in this instance are short and sweet in the main, with the odd exception for night owls or those with insomnia!

If you are cooking for a large number of people, making sauces, chutneys and jams, or baking cakes and desserts, then allow slightly more time for preparation prior to cooking, but none of the recipes in this book will extend beyond 30 minutes of preparation time.

Importantly, the slow cooker is versatile enough to make all of these types of cooking possible and give good, reliable and above all consistent results every time.
