Ooooh yes!

Take the skin off and cook separately for great crackling.

Chuck some large chunks of carrot and leek in the bottom of S/C and place pork on top. Pour in some stock of your choice (i use chicken) to just cover the veggies. Pop the lid on and leave for 7-8 hours.

The resulting pork MELTS off the bone, the juices can be made into gravy, the veggies whizzed for soup

Instead of chicken stock I'd use cider.

totally agree with the cider!

fizzy or still the cider?

Whatever you have. I always use fizzy as its easy to get in the shops. Looks like witches brew until it cooks but works brilliantly

As does cheap cuts of beef with ale tomatoes and carrots and onions yum!
