Quick help! I've now sealed mince for the slow cooker.

[crazypenguinlady]

I'm making chilli in the slow cooker but seemed to have a brain fart and forgot to Brown the mince. It's now all mixed up so too late to Brown it. Will it matter?

[OutComeTheWolves]

Not at all. I never bother. There's no point having a slow cooker if you end up dirtying up other pots and pans too!

[Tretchikoff]

I never Brown mince now after I too forgot once.
It never made any difference so I stopped and saved myself an extra job.
It'll be absolutely fine

It depends whether you are happy to have all the fat left in. Even lean mince produces a lot of fat that can be drained off after browning. Eeurgh. I'd rather another dirty saucepan

[notangelinajolie]

I'm with hippy re the fat. Is will be ok to eat but it will be greasy.

[StupidSlimyGit]

You will need to skim the fat off the top when it's cooked but that's all, I never brown it if it's going in the slow cooker.
