50 minutes – 3 hours 8–12 hours
Preparing Meat and Poultry
Select the leanest cuts when purchasing meat. Trim the meat or poultry of any
visible fat. If possible, purchase chicken portions without the skin. Otherwise,
the slow cooking process will result in extra liquid being formed from the fat as
it melts.
For casserole-type recipes, cut the meat into cubes, approximately 2.5cm to
3cm. Slow cooking allows less tender cuts of meat to be used.
