  • I used to have a slow cooker years ago and I seem to remember the instruction book saying that poultry had to be brought to the boil before putting in the slow cooker. Kills off any salmonella I suppose.
  • Thanks! I'll just have to think of something else to use up this bowl of granny smiths then as they've been sitting here a couple of weeks or more now :o

    You could just boil them up with a bit of sugar and let cool and freeze them in containers. Apple pies & crumbles on the menu when you feel like pud. BTW I made the orange curd. I wasn't that fussed. I love lemon though.
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    polynesian pork

    8 pork chops
    salt and pepper to taste
    1 teaspoon of rosemary(dried)
    1/2 cup soy sauce
    1/2 cup ketchup
    1/2 cup honey

    combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Cover, cook on high for 5-6 hours

    You could use chicken thighs or turkey steaks instead of pork.

    I usually serve this with egg-fried rice see below

    Egg fried rice

    2 tbsp veg oil
    2 eggs beaten
    75g bacon bits (i use the ones from lidl)
    250g rice, cooked, leftovers from the day before
    50g peas cooked
    1 tbsp light soy sauce
    grounds black pepper

    Heat a wok with one tbsp of the oil over a moderate heat and pour in the beaten eggs. Tip the pan around so that the eggs set in a thin layer - much like a pancake. When cooked, transfer the omelette to a chopping board and cut into small pieces about 2cm square.

    In the same wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoons of oil and fry the bacon until crisp. Tip in the cooked rice followed by the peas and omelette pieces and heat rice through until piping hot. Season with the soy sauce and a pinch of black pepper.

    Make sure that the rice is really hot before serving

    Would it be possible when people post their slow cooker receipes could they post their cooker size too. My slow cooker is only 2.5 litre and this would give me an idea of how much to reduce the receipe by.
    Thanks

  • Hi, I am still quite new to my slow cooker. Have mastered the beef casserole which takes 4 hours high or 8 on low, but just wondering how long approx a chicken casserole would take. Would it cook quicker than beef or is everything in a slow cooker the same sort of times. Also any ideas how long a rice pudding would take? Thanks

    We're back on one of those how long is a piece of string type questions where how much you are making and whether or not you start with cold liquids in the pot or with hot ones but most of my recipes give similar times for chicken casserole as for beef, some actually an hour longer.

    Rice pudding - 1.5 pint (1 ltr ish) from cold on low for 4-6 hours... that's with 3oz (75g) rice and DON'T FORGET to butter the pot first! :)
