How to season slow-cooker meals

Seasoning your slow-cooker meals properly is key to enhancing their flavour. Since slow cooking can mellow out strong spices, it’s a good idea to season in stages. Add your initial seasonings and spices like Soup & Stew Allrounder, Chicken Curry Seasoning or Chicken Seasoning at the beginning of cooking to infuse the dish. However, taste and adjust the seasoning towards the end of cooking as well – adding fresh herbs, a squeeze of citrus or a pinch more of the Just Spices seasoning blend can really brighten up the flavours just before serving. For richer dishes like stews and curries, adding a splash of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce or balsamic vinegar at the end can give the meal a deeper, more complex taste.
