Slowcooker Recipe Favourites

researcher

Check-out the link that Gingham Ribbon has in her earlier post (16) - it's got everything you need to know.

Mine came with no instructions so it was trial and error too.

Don't worry it'll be fine.

Unless the thing has an electrical fault, it should be perfectly good. They're really idiot-proof!

The easiest thing to start with would be a cheap beef roast. Chop up a carrot and an onion. Maybe add some frozen veg. Or some chopped potato. Add salt and pepper and set it for low for a few hours. It will be soooo good and easy. (Oh, and a can of cream-of-pretty-much-whatever soup goes a long way to making it extra-special.)

I have just got mine too and really appreciate these recipes. Roll on the cooler weather

After reading this thread I thought to give the slowcooker a go. I have one which is about 10 years old, never used. Is a Twin Heat Cordon Bleu . is it anygood. i haven't got any instructions, so don't know how to use it.

any help very welcomed

This is the one I have, and I must say it is the best slow cooker I have ever used. I don't have any instructions, I just follow any slow cooker recipe and it comes out fine. Love it!!!

I use my slow cooker quick a lot for stews and soups but my most favourite thing is Gammom - I puy any old gammon joint in there with some boiling water and a little orange juice and then just forget about it all day.

Sometimes I put a mixture of honey and mustard over the top and finish it off in the oven for 10/15 minutes but if im pushed for time I dont bother. We like it served with mash and carrots.

I always chose the biggest joint I can get in there so the next day I have left overs - might have gammon & bubble and squeak, gammon egg and chips or gammon salad. However I often sit down in front of the telly with a plate of cold gammon and mustard - lovely.

Hi guys:j :j

Thought I should update you on my cooking......... I made a very nice pork stew... that the whole family eat!!! even sent some for my mil :T :T to get some brownie points!

today I put sausages, tomatoes, and mushrooms, and it looks lovely I added some garlic and paprika.

I think this is going to be my salvation because I don't want to keep spending loads of money on prepack food and this is much healthier.

So A BIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGG THANK TO YOU ALL

I've just bought 8 (large) free range chicken legs from M&S for under £3, and I've got a carton of mild mushroom soup (covent garden) reduced to 50p. This is going to go in, alongside a few bits and pieces and I'm taking it to feed mum-in-law and rest of the family over the weekend. Should be yummy

Ive got a slow cooker sitting collecting dust, may get it out tomorrow ?

Ive got cooked chicken in the fridge, so can I chuck it in the slow cooker with a curry sauce ?

I think you may find that overcooks. How long are you planning to leave it for?
