The Italian Slow Cooker

The Italian Slow Cooker

The Italian Slow Cooker sounds like a fantastic addition to any budding chef's library! I love italian food and can't wait to get stuck into these recipes!

Finally a book that combines the fresh, exuberant flavours of great Italian food with the ease and comfort of a slow cooker. Michele Scicolone, a best-selling author and an authority on Italian cooking, shows how good ingredients and simple techniques can lift the usual "crockpot" fare into the dimension of fine food. Pasta with Meat and Mushroom Ragu, Osso Buco with Red Wine, Chicken with Peppers and Mushrooms: These are dishes that even the most discriminating cook can proudly serve to company, yet all are so carefree that anyone with just five or ten minutes of prep time can make them on a weekday and return to perfection. Simmered in the slow cooker, soups, stews, beans, grains, pasta sauces, and fish are as healthy as they are delicious. Polenta and risotto, "stir-crazy" dishes that ordinarily need careful timing, are effortless. Meat loaves come out perfectly moist, tough cuts of meat turn succulent, and cheesecakes emerge flawless.

I've got this one in my collection and it's got some really good recipes in.



Each section has some basic blurb about what you'll be cooking - includes hints on ingredients and tips to get the most out of the flavours. (Eg: soften onions and root vegetables by frying gently first and brown meat)

Well worth the money and a real useful book. Spiced lentil and coconut soup is delicious and so easy! You just need to warm up a naan bread when you get home and tea is ready!

Curry recipes ideas

I've been using Patak's pastes recently. They work really well and make a great tasting curry. With the tikka massala one add coconut milk to it with a can of tomatoes to make a really delicious curry.

Son told me it's the best I've ever cooked!

They do several other types but we've not tried them yet - the balti one is next on our list. They're about £1.70 which sounds dear until you realise you'll get many portions of curry from it - unlike a jar of standard sauce which costs almost the same.

You could certainly put it in a slow cooker too - fry off the chicken until it's brown. Clever Son suggested doing it on the george foreman grill to get it nicely browned with less effort.

Basic slow cooking hints

Generally the rule of slow cooking is to add liquid if the ingredients don't provide it itself. Chicken contains quite a lot of water so you don't normally add water to one when slow cooking it.

Trim fat - remove skin too. For bones in smaller joints of chicken you can remove part way through the cooking if you want, or leave until the end when the meat will just fall off the bone. Be prepared to have trouble getting chicken out - it really will come to bits if it's cooked right!

Slow cookers are fantastic

Simple to use and easy way of preparing food.

• 1.5 litre capacity  (Ideal for one or two people, enough for 4 smaller portions and will fit 1kg brisket in)
• Removable dishwasher, microwave and oven proof ceramic bowl
• Dishwasher proof tempered glass lid
• Even cooking with full wrap around heating element
• Versatile cooking with 3 heat settings

 A slow corker is a versatile way of cooking food. You simply drop and prepare your vegetables, at the meat and stock, put the lid on switch on and forget about it. You can cook roast chickens pieces of beef and meat as well as stews, Currys and many other delicious dishes.

It has a 1.5 L volume, which means it is a huge casserole dish, so bigger families will not find a suitable. But for those people looking to do smaller number of portions, this is absolutely ideal. If you are currently using a large slow cooker and find that the large bottom area often dries out the sauce, then you will find that this one is just right

It is versatile with its three heat settings, allowing you to cook different things.
