    Leg of pork be on med for about 8 hours then stick it in the oven for 20 mins with roast pots to crisp up crackling - makes the tenderest pork I've ever eaten.

    I bought a cheap chicken from Lidls (£2.50) and put it in the slow cooker this morning.

    I've never cooked chicken this way before and was really pleased with the result, in fact if I wasn't a veggie then I would have had some myself :rotfl:

  • I'm making my first SC meal tonight! It's leek and potato soup :)

    I just gotta figure out the recipe! I've got the chopped leeks, diced potatos, diced onions and I'm adding veg stock.

    What else??
