slow cooking
Patience yields tenderness
Slow cooking is preparing food at low temperatures over extended periods—typically several hours.
The method tenderizes tough cuts of meat and develops deep flavors as ingredients meld gradually: The brisket needs slow cooking to break down the connective tissue.
A slow cooker is an electric appliance designed for this purpose, allowing unattended cooking throughout the day.
