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
