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

How about this website I'll merge your question to the SC recipe thread to give you plenty of ideas.

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)

You won't get one from me:). Just my usual comment about how I don't like them.:D

Umm thanks - very helpful!!

Dunno if I will like it to be honest but it was only 8 quid and if it makes my life easier (and saves me money as I can use cheaper cuts of meant) then I'll give it a bash

For a quick tasty curry :-

I use a ready-make sauce like Lloyd Grossman's Thai Red Curry Sauce ... this is really lovely, but of course any make can be used.

Chop up any meat into medium sized chunks (enough for 2 - 4 people).

Mash up a tin of carrots to make a puree (for a richer taste).

Add a couple of chopped garlic bulbs and one onion (if you can be bothered!).

Bung into the slow cooker and cook on low all day.

Serve with favourite rice and naan bread.


I made the above when we had some friends round and served it up when we'd been to the pub. Everyone wanted the recipe, so had to admit I'd cheated!

Thanks for this. We are trying this one now.

I adapted slightly by using a korma sauce and adding some small slices of red pepper (they are very tasty in korma's!). I also added a little milk as the sauce i bought was quick thick (and I don't have any cream or yoghurt in).

Now just waiting!

Loopy Girl - although this is an American site it stretches the imagination as to what to do with a slow cooker. Well I find it interesting anyway.

I'm cooking chicken with 30 garlic cloves tomorrow, and I'll just put a glass or two of wine with it. Some even cook poultry without adding anything, although I do, as it did start to stick once.

Try yours and see, as slow cookers can vary.

Sublime - is this the recipe from the M&S Madhur Jaffrey Cookbook? If it is I did try it years ago & it was fantastic! I've been very impressed with my SC & I'm going to try quite a number of the recipes posted here so thanks to everyone for your input:T
