    How did these turn out Galtizz? Wouldnt mind trying this myself. Also, what do you serve it with?

    I left them on for too long (9 hours) so they were a bit crunchy. They were nice though, if they were only cooked for 6 or 7 hours they'd be lovely. I'd also seal them first (either brown them or pop them in the micro for a few mins) because they fell apart as I lifted them out.

    I served them with spagetti in the end, couldn't decide between that or rice.

    Hope you enjoy them Elona and if you try them Tiff :)

    Well, we're going out for a posh meal tonight at the Hotel Du Vin (someone else paying!) for MIL's 60th birthday. I'm a bit disappointed that my slow cooker's not in use today! I love the cooking smell through the house and everyone that comes to the door thinks I'm such a wonderful SAHM!!! Will try these though, meatballs appeal to kids.

    Being at home, I enver leave my slow cooker on that long unless its over night. So about 6 hours is max for me. I wonder why they fell apart though.

    Elona, let us know how yours go, I''m a nosy devil lol

    I sometimes put whole lemons inside the cavity, gives a lovely flavour.

    Someone else mentioned cooking with coke but I dont fancy all that extra sugar in my cooking. I bet it tastes nice though.

    They didn't fall apart until I started poking at them with a serving spoon :o , I just think if they were browned or sealed they might hold together a bit better.
