Is there a way to thicken the cooking liquid for a gravy-like consistency?

If you prefer a thicker, gravy-like consistency for the cooking liquid, there are a few methods you can try.

• One option is to mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the cooking liquid in the slow cooker during the last cooking hour and let it thicken.
• Alternatively, you can remove some liquid from the slow cooker and simmer it in a saucepan on the stovetop until it reduces and thickens. Then, pour the thickened liquid back into the slow cooker before serving.

How can you use the leftover rump roast?

How do you store leftover slow cooker rump roast?

Cool the leftovers entirely before transferring them to the refrigerator to maintain their freshness. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. When reheating leftovers, use a microwave or stovetop until heated through.

If you have leftover meat you won’t be able to consume within a few days, consider freezing it for longer-term storage. Simply place the cooled meat in a freezer-safe container or bag and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw the meat in the refrigerator overnight before reheating and enjoying.
