However ingredients such as meat and fish should not be left out of the refrigerator for longer than is necessary, so remove from the refrigerator just to take the chill off and keep covered with cling film or plastic wrap. Do not prepare food in advance and then leave out of the refrigerator. 2 Cut root vegetables such as carrots, onions, swedes etc into fairly small pieces as they take longer to cook than meat. 3 Cut each type of ingredient into even sized pieces, this will assist with even cooking. 4 Browning the meat and sauteing the vegetables first in a separate pan will help to remove a certain amount of fat from the meat and also improve the appearance and flavour of both meat and vegetables. 5 Do not lift the lid more than necessary during cooking as this will cause loss of heat and evaporation of liquid. It may be necessary depending upon how often the lid is removed and for how long, to allow an extra 20 minutes to half an hour cooking time. 6 Cooking always takes place in the cooking pot. [. . . ] Remove the lid and add the mixture to the cooking pot and stir well. Cover and cook on High for 4 hours or Low for approximately 6-7 hours. If desired, thicken the juices with some cornflour mixed to a smooth paste with water. Remove the lid and add the mixture to the cooking pot and stir well (if necessary remove the chicken breasts and keep warm whilst adding the cornflour). [. . . ]
