In my slow cooker today...

tomtombeanie

my rice pud yesterday was a success! opted for 1 pint of milk, not 1.5 pints (the recipes seem to say one or the other...), to go with 2oz each of rice and sugar. buttered the crock & sprinkled with cinnamon and mixed spice. left on low for about 7 hours. creamy and with a slight skin when i dished up. will have to try the coconut rice pud recipe i've spotted on here somewhere next week...

I cook it in my slow cooker for about 6 hrs on low. I have just tossed the mint and apricots in. It smells gorgeous.

Thank you.:T

:think: Can I eat lamb more than once in a week?

I think next time I'll post my ingredients and ask for recipes before I start cooking. :rotfl:

My first two attempts at slow cooking were pretty dire. A BBQ-style root veg stew and curry, both of which I usually make on the hob, were foul from the slow cooker Anyway, not to be deterred, inspired by this thread, (and something to do with our gas bill shooting up 30 quid a month) I have decided to cook my lasagne sauce in it today and see how this one turns out. Hoping it is nice so I can save a bit by using the slow cooker more often instead of my gas hob!

For my lentil and pepper lasagne, I have bubbling away in the slow cooker:

• A good lot of red lentils
• 1 large red and 1 large yellow pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 chopped onion
• 1 courgette, diced
• About 1 tbsp oregano
• A generous dollop of tomato puree
• Some boiling water from the kettle

I'll layer it up with lasagne sheets and top it with loosened off cream cheese. Should be yummy, in theory...

Edit: It was! I added a tbsp of Worcestershire sauce to the lentils to make it a bit tastier. I also beat a pinch of white pepper, mustard powder and nutmeg into the cream cheese, then topped with a small sprinkling of grated Cheddar. YUM! So pleased I made enough for another 4 portions!

I am going to get a slow cooker on friday, has anyone got the tesco £12.97 one or the argos cookworks £12.69 one? I am just getting a cheap one to try it out.

Also is the anywhere on site that just lists the recipes for slow cookers?
Thanks

Hi there I bought the Tesco one on Monday and I love it. The only downside is there is no recipe book but I suppose this thread is full of them. Happy Shopping x

I have the Argos Cookworks one (bought on offer at £8) and really rate it. I used to have a much larger MR stainless steel one which used to burn everything. The Cookworks croc is really easy to clean too.

Made a chicken chassuer in mine yesterday, cheated by using a tin of sauce, added carrots, mushrooms and tin chopped toms. Made enough for 2 dinners for 4 so got half in freezer.
