In my slow cooker today.... part 2

betterlife

can anyone please tell me how to do rice pudding in slow cooker? its been such a long time since ive actually made hm rice pudding, but theres not even instructions on the packet. i have pudding rice and was thinking of using a tin of evaporated milk and then top up with milk, but not sure of quantities. theres 6 of use so would like to make a very large pot, (enough for kids breakfast and maybe dessert) and i have a rachal allen sc which is huge! any advice would be appreciated thanks x

Slung all kinds in the SC, fried bits of bacon and onion, sliced mushrooms.garlic, gravy, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, leeks and potatoes. It will either work or fail.

Probably end up eating it in the middle of the night:pbut I will be awake a while yet catching up on the few TV programmes I watch.

It was ready in 3 hours...so not too bad...

Bacon, potatoes, courgette, frozen peppers and onions with passata and a little bit of water...all cooked for 4 hours then wizzed with the hand blender to make the nicest soup I have had in some time.

Only bought the slow cooker this week and already in love. Best of all - being on slimming world it was syn free (means I can eat as much as I like)

Converted like me and so simple to use, wish I'd had one years ago...:)

Morrocan chicken in mine - 4 chicken fillets cut into slices, chickpeas, stock, onion finely chopped and fried off with some morrocan seasoning and some chopped corriander. Will serve with some cous cous (thanks to Approved foods)

Chicken in red wine with a few bacon bits for a treat - yum. I will add some dumplings later. It will all be very welcome as being battered by a storm today.

I've taken the last curry out of the freezer this morning, that's for tonight so after lunch i'm going to get all the bits of anything in the freezer and go in the SC overnight.

Hey, Im after some advice from you SC pros Im not sure if Im posting in the right place, but figured you may be able to help... but direct me elsewhere if appropriate!

I have an SC which I have used lots, but Im finding if I make anything like soup, stew, chilli etc...anything in liquid - that when I get home its very overcooked. You could almost say that its burnt, without actually being charred... Just overcooked and tastes awful sometimes.

Ive checked the booklet, and it has LOW, HIGH and Auto settings and the book advises auto is the best setting for leaving meals to cook all day etc. and should be able to leave meals on for 18 hours. If I left it 18 hours I think it would be black and charred!

So I suspect perhaps Im not putting enough liquid in, or doing something else obvious wrong? Ive follwed the recipes and tried experimenting but dont seem to be able to get it right!

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance and thanks for reading
