i put a drop of water in mine if im out all day if cooking a joint, sometimes i dont bother it cookes in the juices itself and should be fine and i know im not the only one who does this xxx

Following on from the success of the blue berry pancake with lemon icing which I cooked in the slow cooker the other day, I've made up a James Martin Apple and sultana sponge (from Approved Foods) and am trying it out in my mini SC (1 hour on high) Will let you know how it goes..

Wow! I make never steam sponge pudding again! This technique worked a treat! I used my little teeny tiny one person SC, which I thought wasn't big enough for anything and a waste of money, but it made this sponge just the right shape (I lined the crock with some bakin paper which I'd dampened to make it more pliable)

Claregre, not butting in at all.

When you SC you do not need as much liquid as normal as the cooking process produces a lot of liquid. So I would say you are putting too much in. Also once you have everything in and mixed together you shouldn't have to stir it again, just switch on and leave. The joys of having a SC.

Have a look at this thread and the recipe collection thread I linked to earlier and enjoy.

My own style keema curry.

Mince meat
Curry powder 2 tbs
Garlic
stock cube
1 tbsp tom puree
Thyme
one mug of water
left over veg- we had coulidlower/swede/peas/onion/carrot
rice


cook it all up and when mince and veg have cooked add rice and enough water normally works out 1 mug of rice = 2 mugs of water.
allow rice to cook and serve when its ready with naan.


It was lovely and none left, decided i wanted to save my chicken breast for another day and the mince needed eating as i buy the big pack from tesco for £2 and used half of it for spag and meatballs a few days ago.

I had a lovely chilli in mine today but sadly its all gone now:p

I`ve just prepped the crock and popped it into the fridge where it can sit overnight and then i`ll replace it and cook on low whilst i`m at w*rk tomorrow. I`ve put in two huge lamb shanks with garlic, thyme and rosemary - just remembered i forgot the sliced onions so i`ll add those shortly

The whole house smelt gorgeous when i arrived home today, i`m surprised the dog wasn`t camped out next to the worktop

I have some duck bones in mine, with some sorry looking leek that was in the back of the fridge. Also half an onion & some herbs to make a stock to cook the beef in tomorrow. This will then be reduced & I'll add a touch of cream as gravy.
