Slow Cooker - The Recipe Collection

Posts: 1,880 Forumite
Just bought a slow cooker, but the recipe booklet that accompanies it is rather complicated ('brown meat and veg before putting in the cooker') and I wanted to bung it all in a leave to cook. So does anyone know any easy (really easy) recipes or a book that gives easy recipes?
Thank you.
Thank you.

It's trial and error really, anything you would normally cook in a casserole dish, even curries.
I love cooking this way, it's so quick to just chop and wash everything, throw it in and leave it and it doesn't need watching. 8) Just make sure you put enough liquid in it, although it doesn't tend to evaporate like conventional cooking.
I've never bothered browning anything before putting it in, except for mince when making a chilli or spag bol.
It's also useful to cook extra to freezeLaughter is the sun

one of my faves:
look in bottom of fridge & locate all random bits of veg...if not enough try the freezer.
wash, chop and throw into slow cooker
add some tinned toms / passata
add an organic stock cube / lea & perrins / some kind of seasoning
(sometimes i add quorn chunks or similar.)
as ausielle says - mainly trial and error - i use it loads, especially in the winter.
lentils and beans also cook really well in here and soak up the flavour nicely.Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -

Make sure you cook it for a good long while if you're trying the pork without browning it first ... about 8 hours or longer. (Apologies if I'm stating the obvious!).

Aussielle - how much red wine? And does it matter what type. I got some very nice Australian red, but thats probably too good for cooking.Me transmitte sursum, caledoni0

make up the 'liquid' ingredients to about 1- 11/2 pints, about 1/2 pint should be wine.....use your own judgement and taste.
I only use cheap red for cooking.
Don't be shy with the paprika!
I hope your gonna like it :)Laughter is the sun
