low-and-slow
Patient cooking style
Low-and-slow describes cooking at low temperatures over extended time—hours rather than minutes.
The method suits tough cuts of meat, allowing collagen to break down into tender, flavorful results: We smoked the brisket low-and-slow for twelve hours.
Barbecue enthusiasts treat it as doctrine.
The phrase applies beyond cooking to anything done patiently and methodically: Take it low-and-slow until you get the hang of it.
