Slow Cook mode cooks up to 800 g meat in liquid for 1-8 hours at temperatures of 37-98°C.
How does it work?
Gently simmering ingredients over a longer period of time brings out deep, complex flavours that you won’t get with any other method of cooking.
Works best for:
Busy families looking for a tasty and nutritious meal with no faff.
Get ahead chefs looking to make delicious broths, soups and compotes.
Experimenters looking to try out different cuts of meat such as beef brisket and pork shoulder.
Add the Final Touch to your Slow Cook Masterpiece!
Try adding pasta or rice at the end of the slow cooking time to bulk out your dish. You could also add fresh ingredients that need minimal cooking, such as spinach, broccoli, peas, courgettes or fresh herbs.
Stir in milk, sour cream or cream cheese at the end for a creamier flavour and texture.
• To guarantee the success of recipes using Sugar Stages mode, the ingredients used must exactly match the quantities and descriptions specified. The recipe should also be cooked immediately after placing the ingredients in the mixing bowl.
• If using Sugar Stages in TM6: The splash guard is not required for all Sugar Stages recipes. Use it when instructed in Guided Cooking to avoid hot splashes. For safety reasons, the splash guard should not be used to replace the simmering basket on top of the mixing bowl lid.
The Perfect Accessory
Blade cover & peeler is used to protect softer ingredients from coming into contact with the moving blades of the mixing knife.
This clever accessory covers the blades without preventing stirring, resulting in even heat and gentle cooking.
Use blade cover & peeler with the Slow Cook mode to make the most of the precise temperatures of Thermomix®.
3 Ways to Thicken a Sauce in your Slow Cooked Recipe
Add 10 g flour at the beginning of the recipe.
Add a mixture of 15 g cornflour and 15 g cold water at the end of the recipe and bring it to a simmer.
You can also use Thermomix® to reduce your sauce. At the end of cooking, either drain the stew through the simmering basket or Varoma dish, or simply remove the main ingredients with tongs. With cooking liquid in mixing bowl, place simmering basket in place of measuring cup on mixing bowl lid and reduce 10-15 min/120°C/speed 1 until desired consistency.
Start Slow Cooking!
Slow cooking is all about cooking slowly and delicately without reaching the boiling point, allowing the seasoning, flavour and aroma to intensify.
