It may take a little longer since the temperature of a slow cooker is usually just below simmering. I would extend the cooking time to about four hours. Make sure to check for water level. The abalones should be submerge in liquid for the entire cooking period. Happy New Year! Yes, you can absolutely use a slow cooker.

I just bought 2 frozen Australian green lip abalone and am planning to prepare it this Chinese new year using your recipes. It about 200gms each. Aside from pressure cooker and wok, can I slow cook it in a slow cooker? And how long would it take to cook in a slow cooker? Your advise is much appreciated.

I suggest that you cut your 2 lb. abalone into quarters before braising. Then follow the recipe as is. By the way, fresh abalone is great simply steamed then topped with black bean sauce or ginger scallion soy sauce. Only steam for about 10 minutes for a 4 or 5 oz. sized fresh abalone. Any longer the meat will become tough. Then you'll have to braise the mollusk until tender. The abalones I used were about 5 oz. each.

I live in northern California and am very fortunate to be able to legally harvest wild abalone when in season. The average cleaned abalone I harvested usually weighs 1 to 2 lb. Do you think your receipe would produce the same result with a 2 lb abalone? How long shall I cook it until it becomes tender? (Note: since abalone season is over, I will be using one 2-pound frozen abalone). Any suggestion is much appreciated. Danny Your recipe is very tempting.

Make sure you have enough liquid in the pot before you start cooking in the pressure cooker. You should also line the bottom of the pot with a layer of scallion or spring onions to prevent the abalone from browning too much at the bottom. The best test for doneness is to actually slice into the abalone. It is done if the knife slice through without resistance. Enjoy!

This is my first time to cook abalone (Australa frozen one) and I'm going to use the high pressure cooker. So how long should it take and is it longer the time better? And how to test whether the abalone is tender enough or already too firm. Thanks Your recipe is great!
