Low-Temperature Cooking for High-Temperature Months
During the winter months, most of us love warming our kitchens with hearty, fragrant dishes. In the summer, however, it's a different story. While temperatures rise and energy levels drop, the last thing most of us want is extra heat in the kitchen.
The solution? Low-temperature cooking.
Low-Temperature Recipes Perfect for Summer
If you're looking for something fast and simple—yet filling!—consider this Slow-Roasted Prime Rib au Jus. Because the meat should be seasoned the night before and then roasted for four to six hours, this isn't a recipe you can just throw together at the last minute. You can, however, stick it in the roasting pan and walk away—our favorite summer cooking style.
For lighter fare, try roasting salmon at low temperatures. With only a few basic ingredients needed and a total cook time of around twenty minutes, this is a perfect, last-minute thrown-together dish that's nevertheless bound to impress friends, family, and guests alike.
More on the exotic end of the spectrum is this Low-Temperature Shank of Beef with Vanilla-Flavored Cream of Pumpkin and Minted Peas. Juicy and full of traditional Spanish flavors, it's well worth the moderate preparation work and the two-hour cook time.
When it comes to adding side dishes to your summer meals, remember that most vegetables can be slow roasted. In fact, many people claim that cooking veggies for longer times and at lower temperatures actually results in more flavorful dishes.
