Slow cooking - after the talk

My talk1 went very well. I probably forgot a few things that I meant to mention, and I'm fairly sure that all my talk about Maillard reactions and protein denaturation at the beginning went in one ear and out the other. Despite all that, everyone seemed very interested, and serving the chicken dish at the end served to prove the idea of slow cooking.

It became clear to me, if not necessarily to anyone else, that I prefer to cook as simply as possible, without intermediate stages (such as frying onions before adding them) and without spices. People kept on shouting out that they do such and such, to which I would reply that I tried their suggestion that simply adds overheads (and dirty pans) without contibuting to the taste.

It seems that I've converted a few people to the joys of slow cooking, or at least opened their eyes to the possibility (as JK Rowling writes in the seventh Strike book, 'The running grave': admit the possibility) of this technique.slo

Maybe the shops in the local mall will see increased sales of slow cookers!
