It might well do the trick, thanks

I'll go check the piggy bank.

Put piggy bank away, you need an oven chip tray - http://www.cn-ice.com/quickachips-mesh-oven-chip-cooker-p-702.html often available in pound shops. I use one of these in my sc to remove lots of things, including joints and steamed puddings.

Yup, I can see that that would work, but the poultry slings I am thinking of have long handles which you could sort of tie on top to make it easier to lift the bird out.

I tried a google but could not find anything in the UK for squeaky. I really thought I'd seen them in the Lakeland catalogue but not there now.

Yes, that's a possibility, thanks - but I'm thinking I'll have to add some handles or loops to it... hmm... thinks...


Would still need to check the piggy bank.

People used to do this for lifting steamed puddings out. You could also use folded strips of foil or greaseproof paper, under the chicken, then folded over the top loosely so easily retreived to lift the chicken out? We used to leave the strips outside but might affect the seal on a slow cooker. HTH:)

don't think a thinly folded strip of foil or greaseproof would affect the seal, but would still opt for the crochet option if I could.

just tie string onto the chip thing for handles

I'm really struggling to visualise what you're planning, so once you've done your crochet, please, please, please post us a pic :T :rotfl:

:rotfl: I'd have to get my mum knitting it, actually, I don't do crochet personally ... I wish I could find what I'm thinking of, I know you all think I'm daft ...
