General points
Frozen Foods
Thaw thoroughly before cooking.
Thickening
Toss meat in flour for casseroles.
Alternatively blend cornflour with water and
add it at the end of cooking.
Flavouring
Flavours are held in the food because there
is little evaporation. Adjust flavouring at the
end of the cooking time.
Liquid
Use slightly less liquid as there is little
evaporation during cooking. Always add milk
and milk products, for example cream
towards the end of cooking to prevent them
from curdling.
Reheating
Cool left over food quickly and then put it in
the fridge. Do not reheat food using the slow
cook setting. Reheat food in the usual way
or in a microwave. Only reheat food once.
