As the temperature drops and you’re stuck indoors, consider mastering some skills, such as cooking.
If you like indulging in curries, tender meat, soup, risotto or succulent braises, then there is a solution – slow cooking, but at a fast pace.
Some general reasons why people slow cook is because it dissolves tough meats and creates deeper flavours without the need to slave over a pot for hours. Instead, a slow cooker does most of the work for you.
The Spanish brand Fagor have a new line of pressure cookers that slow cook at a third of its usual time.
A whole chicken can be cooked in 20 minutes, while a risotto can be cooked in seven minutes.
Apart from saving time, these slow cookers offer safety features and health benefits.
According to Fagor, their slow cookers can create nutritious meals as nutrients, minerals and natural juices from meat and vegetables are retained.
Another benefit is their slow cookers can save 70 per cent of energy compared to traditional cooking methods.
Lastly, it has an automatic pressure release system and these stainless steel pans are made with an aluminium bottom, which make it easy to clean, without leaking aluminium into acidic foods.
