Could someone please confirm that it is possible to cook Christmas Puddings in a Slow Cooker. Common sense tells me that it is possible but never having made one before, I have recipes but can't see the point of putting pudding to cook on hob if I use the slow cooker on high to simmer. Has anybody out there done it? Sorry such a long post - I know I do go on a bit! Just need reassurance!!!

I've never done it but a friend at work does her Christmas pudding in her slow cooker every year....it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

It's very possible and makes for a lovely moist pudding.Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

I always cook mine in the slow cooker.
I just fill the slowcooker with a 1/3 of water and stand the pudding in it. Cook on Auto. Occassionally check the water level.£2 Coins Savings Club 2012 is £4.............................NCFC member No: 00005.........

Yes, I've done mine in the SC this year and last year. I stood the basin on a biscuit cutter and poured water up to about a third of the way up the basin. I cooked it on low for 8 hours. I shall reheat it in the SC on Christmas day.0

Yes, it makes the most lovely dark and moist puds, I made 2 yesterday and gave them about 8 hrs each. Usually make them in July but was a bit late this year. Have even made them using value dried fruit and butter and they were lovely.0

Thank you all for your help - I can now go ahead - slow cooker will be producing one tomorrow, well perhaps two - I might have to taste one! only just to make sure of course!0

Hi guys,
Christmas dinner for us all today (long story).
Have a shop bought Christmas pud, says to steam/boil for 2 hours.
How long would this be in the slow cooker and do I need to put a trivet underneath?
Many thanks from a seriously stressed cookPlease do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed.

It is not a thing I would put in a slow cooker.
Why not slice it into portions and give it one or two minutes in the microwave.I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0
