Slow cooking (braising)
Recommended temperature probe setting: 1-.
Your Avance Ultimate Wok is ideal for slow cooking
curries and casseroles. Slow cooking allows less
tender meat cuts to be used, to obtain a tender
result. Less tender meat cuts contain sinew and
gristle, these will be broken down during cooking to
give a tender result. It is not recommended to slow
cook with tender meat cuts as they will toughen and
shrink during cooking.
It is recommended during slow cooking to place the
lid on to retain the heat. During the cooking process
the curry or casserole will boil then turn off. This is
normal operating for a probe controlled unit.
Recommended cuts for slow cooking
Beef diced blade (boneless), chuck, round,
shin, silverside
Chicken diced thigh, leg
Lamb diced forequarter, shanks and neck chops
Veal diced forequarter, leg and knuckle
(Osso Bucco)
