Slow cooker chilli question

[Gillian76]

I have browned mince and put it all together. Am going out in about 30 minutes and want to eat about 6.

Low or high?

[Twiglett]

sorry don't know about slow cookers but I make a mean chilli and it tends to be best if you cook it through for 30 mins then let it cool down then reheat it

HTH

[Twiglett]

oh and a couple of tbsps of cumin along with the garlic and chilli (if not too late / already done)

I'd stick it on high, then you can always turn it down later, add the kidney beans about 1/2 hour before eating and whack it up to high again.

We had it last night - done in our slow cooker!

[Gillian76]

SO you think I should just cook it on the hob til I'm going out and reheat later?

[sandyballs]

I'd say high if you've only just made it and want to eat at 6. The low tends to be for 8-10 hours.

IMHO chilli needs longer cooking than 30 mins - an hour at least

[Gillian76]

Yes have added cumin

[Macdog]

I always use low on slow cooker, you can always bung it up to high when you come back in if it needs it

[SpaceCadet]

i would put it on high

[Gillian76]

I usually do it for about an hour on the hob...

[Twiglett]

I would .. but I don't have a slow cooker

I slow cook meat lumps not mince (like lamb shanks, stewing beef etc) in my casserole dish

[Gillian76]

I do like to add the beans about 30 mins before eating but we might not have time when we get back in. Will they be mush if I put them in now?
