Hello folks!!! Hope everyone is OK ?

Apologies for being away for a couple of weeks...I had a bereavement in the close family so been away sorting stuff and being with my family. Back in London now, all OK.

I have made some PADs to get back on track and also some dd's came out whilst I have been off-line so today I can post a super PAD of

£725.78

Best wishes to all - will have a read through the last few pages to catch up...

Hi Andy,

Good to see you back. Not the dodgy internet kind --> :grouphug: but have a *hug* nonetheless, I hope you're ok.

Evening All!

Just popping in to say hi and to ask how you cook a joint of meat in a slow cooker?? I don't want to sound like an eejit asking on the OS board so I though I'd come and sound like an eejit here instead!

What kind of meat?

Beef! Do you just chuck it in or do you put gravy or stock or something in with it?

I have only done lamb and what I do is...

Soak lamb in cold water with a little salt for a while (No idea why, dad suggested it. I think to get some of the blood out...?)

Chuck in slow cooker with onion, veg if required and stock (Made from stock cube and 1/3 pint water) Add herbs/garlic/whatever you fancy.

Leave on medium setting (Mine has high medium and low) all day. I will do this about 8am before work and eat at six.

Can't see why beef would be different...

Searched forums and came up with this:

Beef Pot Roast
6 points per serving. Serves 8.
Season 1 ¾ kg (4lb) of boneless, lean beef roasting joint with black pepper. Place 2 onions, chopped, 2 sticks of celery, chopped, 4 cloves of garlic, crushed, 4 large carrots, peeled and sliced and 250g (9oz) potatoes quartered, in a slow cooker and place the roasting joint on top. Meanwhile, in a bowl, (I’d go for jug) mix together 300ml ½ pint beef stock and 3tsp tomato puree and pour over the roast. Cook on low for 8-10 hours

Thank you for that! I wasn't sure how much liquid I'd need to use but half a pint doesn't seem very much, do the natural juices come out?

Any more than that and it swims in the liquid. You will find that you have leftover liquid anyway. As the slow cooker is low heat, the liquid doesn't evaporate. It just sort of [strike]loiters around[/strike] *insert scientific term here* and keeps the meat joint moist.

Om nom nom!

Can I come round for tea? :A
