Do the lentils, pearl barley need soaking overnight?

[OnePotChefShow]

@bella4uk No, they'll soak as the cook in the slow cooker ;)

[Ruth42]

Do you find that braising the vegetables in a skillet just for a minute or so speeds up the cook time and/or enhances the flavour? I have tried this kind of recipe by both "pre-braising" and just throwing things in raw and have not found any significant difference. Have you?

[OnePotChefShow]

@Ruth42 I've never noticed much difference. The advantage to slow cooking is the ability to avoid all the extra pre cooking and just chuck everything into one pot ;)

I have always wanted to get a slow cooker, I think you might have just persuaded me ! How economical are they to use , as opposed to cooking in a pot on top of the stove ? Doesn't the food ever stick if you don't stir it every so often ? This looks really good !

[OnePotChefShow]

@zub1964 Slow Cookers use a fraction of the electricity of an oven or stovetop, making them very economical to use. Food doesn't stick to the pot because the food is cooked at a low temperature (compared to an oven etc) so it's gently simmering away :)

I made this today and it turned out really well! I added some parsley and ground sausage and it turned out like a restaurant quality soup. Love it!

Question I thought for slow cooker we are to cook e erything on stove top before like beans, lentils, meats, etc then finish cooking in the slow cooker is this true or all raw foods will cook in the slow cooker?

[vikkipie]
