Slow cooked lamb

ageandjo

I have cooked hald a shoulder of lamb in the slow cooker overnight, I am going to make oh lamb madras with it later on but what do I do with the juice/fat? can I use it again? and would you suggest taking the meat off the bone and adding madras sauce now???

Hi ageandjo,

If you can, skim off any fat and keep it in the fridge for making roast potatoes. I'd either use the juices in the madras or freeze them and use them as stock next time you make soup...don't forget to keep the bone for making stock too.

It's still in the sc now, I think the dog's have had their eyes on the bone:rolleyes:
Do i pour into a jug to seperate the fat/juice?

Yes that's what I'd do. Once it's cooled, put the jug in the fridge and the fat will rise to the top and harden, then you can just lift it off.

I am learning, only a year ago I only had ready made meals...

Don't give cooked bones to a dog. Cooked bones are likely to splinter and shard-like splinters can cause internal damage :eek:

OK to give a dog raw bones - but preferably chewable ones, like chicken. The dog will grind these into a pulp to swallow them. Avoid huge, hard raw bones - the dog can't chew them so they're of no benefit and they may break the dog's teeth.

Agenandjo, I've found out of all the meats I've done in the SC I don't really like doing lamb in it. I found it too fatty and greasy and sort of sits in a lot of fatty fluid. Can you tell I have a thing about fatty meat.:D It's excellent for other cuts although I do brown my meat/chicken first. Good luck with the experiments. Your'e doing well.
