I wonder if I could you actually roast a joint of meat then?

First a Beef casserole tomoz...!!...

I hope it turns out lovely.

Roast meat cooks lovely in the slow cooker. With lamb, I usually pour a glass or two of red in the bottom. Beef is done similarly, although sometimes I have coated in flour and seared briefly before adding to SC. Pork I do with cider.

:T Use this receipe ALL the time!!

I don't always put it in the oven, just boil it in coke for 2hrs and serve.
2Kg joint does family of five for three days.

Day1 = with roast spuds and veg etc.
Day 2 = with egg, chips and beans
Day 3 = with salad and new spuds OR make into Cabonara

Yum Yum ! Anyone hungry yet??

Anyone here ever tried Nigella's ham in coke recipe?

Never tried it myself but she raves about it so it must be worth a go

Here's the recipe: (for regular cooking)

2kg mild-cure gammon
1 onion, peeled and halved
2 litre bottle Coca-Cola (not Diet Coke!)

Glaze:
handful of cloves
heaped tbsp black treacle
2 tsp English mustard powder
2 tbs demerara sugar

Mild-cure gammon isn't usually very salty so no need for a pre-boil unless you think it needs it. Place gammon in pot with onion and coke, bring to boil then simmer for around an hour per kilo. When cooked, remove ham from liquid (keep liquid to make a lovely black bean soup!) and remove skin, leaving a thin layer of fat. Score fat into diamond shapes and push a clove into each diamond. Spread treacle over surface and pat on the dry mustard powder. Cook in hot oven - 240C/gas mark 9 - for approx 10 mins until glaze is burnished and bubbly!


I can't see any reason why the ham can't be cooked in the slow-cooker over a longer period of time, and the final glazing stage can always be skipped for those not fussy over presentation.

So who's going to try it out first then?

I've missed this thread - I never seem to get alerts of new posts for some unknown reason.

Nothing in mine today as I made the much favoured bolognese meatballs yesterday - favoured as long as I use turkey mince anyway.

First post on the SC thread - I use mine regularly now with some very good results (and clean plates) At the weekend I put 2" of red wine and a packet of frozen mixed veg in the bottom and rested a good size piece of brisket from the butchers on top - put it on slow when we got in from a BBQ at 10pm and by 8am next day, I had to get up cos the dogs were crying in the kitchen because the smell was soooo good.The meat was fantastic and the gravy made from the juices was the best I've ever tasted (and I'm not just saying that)

I made lentil soup this week, is lovely!!!

half pack of Tesco value cooking bacon
leek
4 carrots
swede
2 onions
2 parsnips
4 handfuls red lentils
mixed herbs
chicken stock cube

Chop bacon, put in water and boil on hob for about 10 mins.
Spoon off the white fatty stuff then transfer meat and water to SC
add all chopped veg, lentils, 2 tbsp mixed herbs and 2 cheapy chick stock cubes, put SC on low for about 10 hours.... lush! we're having the rest for lunch when DH gets home now, can't wait

Can I just say - am loving my SC, had it for Xmas, and we're using it all the time :-)

Hi, I was just wondering, if i made this with less water so it was alot thicker would it be a lentil pate or dip rather than a soup?
Thanks

This took about 5 mins to mix together, and is really tasty. Made with a good quality minced beef, and meat from 6 x high meat content pork sausages. Just put it in the bottom on slow cooker took about 4 hrs on low, but I suspect my slow cooker isn't as slow as some.

Have tried doing a search of this thread and reading some of it with no luck, but my question is has anyone done a pasta bake in the slow cooker, using the shop bought jars of pasta bake sauce? If so, did it work and what did you do? Thanks in advance.
