We do a joint of beef in our slow cooker and it's absolutely gorgeous, but yesterday I did a casserole with diced beef and it's a bit tough and chewy, hopefully a night in the fridge will help .
Wouldn't be without it now so if your contemplating getting one do it. Ingredients in in the morning put it on slow and when you come home from work a lovely cooked meal.

how long do you put it on for would like to get one of these so dinners are ready when i get in from work thanks

Thanks for all the slow cooker advice, you have all convinced me to get one!

I did see the cheap Argos one, but the capacity is only 1.5 L, so I'll go for one of the bigger ones I think.

John Lewis are jumping on the penny items band wagon ....3p and free delivery to store

I've left a chicken casserole on for 8 hours on low setting and it was perfect when I got home

I do mine for around 6 hrs on high or 10 hrs on med, if you are out longer it doesn't tend to spoil if its on for a few hours longer

I love whoopsied flowers, tried to get some last night and they still wanted £1 for a bunch of manky carnations so left them, maybe better luck tonight, but need to go earlyish as it's the start of Celebrity BB:o:o:o



Me neither,It was so windy here:eek:

Morning everyone, Todays the day, DS should get his letter to say if he's got a place at Cambridge or not:eek::eek::eek:I'm more nervous than him I think. If he doesnt get in it's fine and he's been offered places at other brilliant uni's, but I just wish the postie would arrive.Although he won't be home till 3.30 after school so I am going to keep myself busy.
Hope everyones ok, might have to take myself off for a little visit to T's for some Mullers;)Hope you're feeling better today Happy and you're doing ok on our healthy eating plan. I woke up feeling hungry and thats always a sign my diets working!

Thanks nikkilala, I had completely forgot about Celebrity BB :eek: Just set Sky+ :T

Good luck to your DS too, hope he gets the news he is hoping for

Right.... back to catching up

Must get back into the slow cooker thing. That will probably come when I work out when my local puts its whoopsies out. They reduce meat slightly at about lunch time. But not really very far. By 7pm they're all gone. So next attempt will be at about 5pm ish.

Hi Decay, how do you do your joint of beef in the slowy, do you add anything or just on it's own, cheers

^put in the stock to just below the top of the meat, add an onion chopped in thick slices put the meat on top , and chuck a few potatoes and carrots in.

Dunno why we ( the mrs ) puts potatoes and carrots in tho as we don't eat them . Lol
