What happens if you don’t brown meat before slow cooking?
Technically speaking, the meat will cook just fine without browning in a slow cooker, however, it does add a depth and complexity of flavor so it’s well worth the extra step and effort.
Is it better to slow cook on low or high?
Put simply, the low setting takes longer to cook than the high setting. While both settings will work, the low setting allows more time to develop flavors.
Can I shorten the time on a slow cooker?
You can speed up the slow cooker time by cooking the stew on high, this will cut the cooking time in half.
