    Today I'm trying the gammon in cola. I've added carrot, onion and celery and salt and pepper. Can't imagine what it's going to taste like.

    I'd do your cubed steak with chopped veg, salt and pepper and either some red wine or beer if you have any. I'd serve it with fluffy mashed potatoe.

    I have a Breville SC (250w which ive just discovered thro reading posts on here is high wattage for a slow cooker,some are as low as 90w)
    My instructions say;"Pasta should be cooked on a stove til slightly tender then added to SC during last 30mins of cooking"..HTH.
    Im cooking a whole chicken in mine today(never done this before).
    I browned the breast side of the whole chicken in a frying pan with some butter then placed the whole chicken,with sliced garlic under the skin and aprox 50ml of water with added stock cube +1/4d onion in the bottom of the crockpot.

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
