Cooking pork in a slow cooker - tricks and tips
• Any pork dish cooked in a slow cooker will be softer and juicier if the flesh is pre-marinated. The perfect marinade for pork is white dry wine.
• The set of spices added to meat dishes is not limited to the recipe. They can be selected according to your taste preferences.
• The taste of the dish depends largely on the freshness of the pork. The less shelf life, the more aromatic, softer and juicier its pieces.
• Freshness of the meat can always be determined by lightly pressing the fingers on the piece. If the depression formed under pressure quickly disappears, the meat is fresh.
