Frequently Asked Questions about Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes
Are slow cookers good for vegetarian meals?
Slow cookers are great for vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters. There are plenty of high quality recipes you can do in your slow cooker to get the best out of it, from stews and casseroles to curries. It is often assumed that slow cookers are only good for meat-based dishes, however, with more vegetarian alternatives available on the market, it's easy to find the perfect dish.
What vegetarian food should I not put in the slow cooker?
While slow cookers are convenient for pre-prepared hearty meals, there are some ingredients that just don't work as well as others and as a vegetarian meal, it's even trickier to iron these out. Food such as delicate vegetables (asparagus, spinach & aubergine), couscous, rice and pasta are items you should avoid as they can spoil in pre-longed cooking conditions. Stick to sturdier products like carrots, potatoes and squashes when making your slow cooker meals.
Can I put Quorn in a slow cooker?
Quorn do not recommend putting Quorn products in a slow cooker as being exposed to the cooking temperature for a long period of time can cause it to change texture. It’s suggested that if you’re looking for an alternative to use a product like Tofu instead.
