In my slow cooker today.... part 2

MrsChaos

Good morning.

I'm about to start a small joint of pork shoulder in my SC, on a trivet of veg. I'm hoping it will be done in time for tea (around 6.30).

I'm just not sure whether to finish it off in a hot oven for half an hour. Has anyone else tried that? Also, do you think it will slice or will it be so tender that it falls to pieces? It would save me the trip to the shops for the slicer I was going to buy today, as I'm rubbish at carving.

Has anyone cooked a beef joint in the slow cooker? If so what's the best way?

Rather than buying an expensive beef cut, I use a beef brisket joint, add chopped onion, carrot (optional chopped celery, peppers) beef oxo mixed with a small amount water, salt pepper, thyme, squirt tomato puree, worcester sauce (optional), meat will be really tender, thicken the sauce uo with some cornflour and you have instant delicious gravy. Any "gravy" left is also nice as a "pasta sauce"
