How to use a slow cooker
-
With a slow cooker, you can create tasty meals without being tied to the stove.
-
Slow cookers generally have 3 settings (low, high and warm). For most pork cuts, plan for about 8 hours at the low setting or 4 hours at high.
-
To enhance the flavour, sear meat first in a hot skillet.
-
Remember to lightly coat the meat in flour before searing, which will create a thicker sauce.
