In my slow cooker today.... part 2

I've got a piece of brisket with carrots, onions & leek flavoured with fresh parsley, dried mixed herbs, beef stock and a splash of red wine.

Never cooked it before.

The recipe said to cover with liquid but there's loads & loads of liquid.

I've thickened it a little and hope it'll thicken a bit more.

Thanks. Have just put in on a bed of rainbow carrots, and leeks. Not much seasalt, so improvised, and added some marigold vegetable bouillon to it, also a pinch of chilli flakes.

2 Jars Pataks Tikka masla curry sauce
1 onion chopped
60g puy lentils (I love these lentils)
3 tsp Lazy Garlic
1 Whole chicken cut up.
6-8 carrots sliced
One chopped up red pepper
Rinse both Jars with water 3/4 full water and add


On at 07:30 eating at 18:00 ~would have been ready before but not everyone home.

Smelt wondeful but the small bones were a problem. Next time would do chicken pieces. Wish I had put more carrots in as they were lovely. Also thinking about adding other type of veg next time

Ok you lovely Slow Cooker lot, what am I doing wrong??

I love the idea of coming home to a hot home cooked meal on a cold autum evening however I always seem to burn whatever I do in my slow cooker.

I have a Morphy Richards large oval sized slow cooker (not sure of the exact size). It has 2 settings, high and low yet no matter how much liquid I put in, what setting I put it on, I always come home to a solid lump with a hard burnt crust round the edges.

I never lift the lid. Is it because I am out for so long (usually put it on around 0700hrs and home for 1700hrs)?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
