Hi HHx

I copied and pasted these from the forum but unfortunately didn't note the posters (apologies to the original posters) - hopefully they will be of some use to you :

Use 2oz pudding rice, 2 ozs sugar with 1 pt milk. Throw it all in, give it a stir, and leave on low for 5 - 6 hrs.
It's yummy, very creamy.

Coconut rice pudding.

1 can of coconut milk
1.5 pints milk
5oz pudding rice
2oz sugar
1/2oz coconut

shove in slow cooker for about 5 hours.
Serve with a few slices of tinned mango and ice cream

This is a fairly big pud enough for about 8 people but it will all get eaten

Oh will try that, interesting with the cocunut milk in there. I went for the receip on the back of the rice packet and did wondered if id cooked it too long as it was quite gloopy. The taste however was more like ambrosia than any I've tried to make before. Well pleased!

Determined to try to mater some slow cooker stuff this autumn. I've for 2 now, a 3l and a 6.2 l!

Thanks again

Invested today in a 6.5L Slow Cooker so big enough to cook for 2-3 days at a time. Just had a great time reading through all the recipes posted, so thanks to all who submitted them. Wish me luck for a random beef 'made up recipe' tomorrow, have some stray veggies in the fridge and lord knows what in the cupboard...

I used my slow cooker for the second time without stressing a recipe and just went for it. It was good and every bit was eaten.
So I have managed beef stew and now sausage casserole.
Thanks to everyone on this thread as I have found it useful and I have to say what a friendly lot you all are.
Chicken next time:-)

I have a piece of smoked gammon ham and I need a foolproof way of doing in the slow cooker can anyone help with a recipe?

Hi Sheila- My favourite way is like this:

Cut one onion in half (don't bother to peel it) halve a carrot and a piece of celery and place them in the base of the dish. Then add your gammon and finally fill up to over the piece of gammon with apple juice, cider or a mix of the two. Cook it for about 6 - 8 hours on low depending on the size of the meat.

All done and lovely!

oh i do gammon in mine all the time i just put it in (dry) spray with spray oil salt and pepper and top with honey, and then i use the stock to make gravy later aswell with the honey in it it's yummy

i do't have mine on today but i did mackrel in mine yesterday and it was lovely

Just realised I meant to ask do I need to soak it or anything beforehand as I have seen it mentioned before.

With the dry method how long and at what temp would you cook it?

Made a lovely slow cooked chicken for dinner tonight and have leftover juices from the pot plus all the carcass and a little bit of chicken. Any ideas what to do with it all. If I make a chicken stock would I slow cook all the bones again tomorrow or just use the juice that's left from today? I'm not sure the bones could cope with another 8 hrs of cooking without disintegrating? Also any ideas with how to use leftover mashed potato? Any recipes would be appreciated - I'm a novice!

Left over mash freezes - just don't freeze it in solid lump or it takes ages to defrost.

Just use the liquid as it is. If you want to keep/freeze it, reduce it down to a manageable amount

Hope I don't get a 'row' as I am sure there have been loads of threads about this but I have finally bought my first slow cooker (£19.99 reduced to £7.99!!:j)

Have been thinking about it for ages as I am a 'traditional' cook and being a working single parent, I am bloody knackered most nights when I get home and the thought of cooking is a trauma sometimes!!


Anyways, am looking for a website (or even a book if someone really thinks it's worth it) to view/buy so that I can have lots of ideas or I fear that I will only end up cooking stews and goulash and not get the proper use from it.

Muchly apprec
