Apprendre à cuisiner / Technique mijoteuse

Comment choisir bas ou haut sur la mijoteuse

Réponse courte

Use LOW for collagen-rich cuts and long cooks. Use HIGH when time is shorter and ingredients tolerate it. Do not swap times one-for-one.

Valable quand

  • The slow cooker is stable and used according to its manual.
  • The lid stays closed for most of the cooking time.
  • Times are guides; texture and a safe core temperature determine doneness.

Ce qu'il te faut

  • Filled slow cooker
  • Lid
  • Timer
  • Meat thermometer
