No cos I hadn't even got the ruddy thing out of the freezer:o I must have dreamt that I'd done it :rotfl::rotfl: so egg & chips all round tonight, & beef casserole part two tomorrow. (hopefully)

Just a quick question, I am going to try my first whole chicken on Thursday. My new slow cooker (Morphy Richards) cooks a bit higher even on low than my last one. Do I add water or not? If so how much?

I'd put about an inch or two of water (preferably stock) in the bottom - are you cooking it alone, or with vegetables?

ah i ended up putting a gammon in mine with about a little bit of apple juice put in on high for about 2 hours.
Then put some honey, mustard and chilli glaze on it with some sugar.

left for a little while longer, and then bunged in the oven for ten minutes before serving.
Was delicious. Have honestly never had as nice a gammon ever.
just fell apart when cutting and so soft.
Sure there nearly wasnt any left for dinner as i kept picking at it when waiting for the roasties to cook!

none left for sandwiches though.....ooops!
