Also if you go onto Morphy Richards website, you can download their instruction booklet for slow cookers (for free) and it contains some recipes

I'm using my sc for the first time and am trying out Aussielle's Pork and Mushrooms first posted on the recipe thread in 2004 - cubed pork, mushrooms, red & green peppers, tin of chopped toms, red wine , parika and worcester sauce.

Will serve with rice and let you know what we think later on tonight. Can't wait :j

Think I will plan ahead and bulk cook,plan to put mince,onion,garlic and gravy in the slow cooker so I can make a chilli,cottage pie and lasagne (by adding extras ie kidney beans,peppers etc at end)

We are a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children, although 1 is not keen on mince! Going to bribe him with pudding!

How much meat would you use?

Can I bulk out with oats and gratted carrot as I intend to freeze 2 of the dishes? Not using lentils as I find these add a pepperry taste.

Thanks

When I've done sausages in the slow cooker, I do brown them first, but they taste a bit like those sausages that you get in tins of beans. A very similar soft texture too.

That's exactly what they were like - very off-putting! I won't be doing that again.:o

Yes you can bulk with oats and carrot. I've tried oats and didn't like the texture, but a lot of others have done it successfully. I'd start with a small amount and see how you go!

i don't like the thin ones done in the slow cooker, i usually use the walls ones in the blue wrapper, they are pork and quite thick, i brown them first then cut them up and they are quite nice

This thread is quiet today! Is everyone enjoying the sun in a pub garden? :beer: (I wish!)

Drunken chicken in mine today.
