Slow cooking recipes that don’t need a slow cooker | delicious

Easy recipes that take it low and slow for maximum flavour and comfort during those cold and wintery nights — but you won’t need a slow cooker to make them.

You don’t need a slow cooker to make hearty and delicious meals.

The benefit of slow cooking is to give the food time to soak in the mix of flavours and also to give the meat used in recipes time to cook to make it soft enough to melt in your mouth.

Delicious has put together some recipes for this style of cooking — without needing to own a slow cooker.
