i want to say thankyou to the ladies and gents who started this thread, i did a whole chicken yesterday in my sc (i never thought you could cook it in sc) and it was lovely, usually a whole chicken lasts for one roast dinner each plus a bit extra for hubbys pack lunch on monday but i have a huge amount of chicken left and it didnt take long to fish out the bones and skin !

thankyou again

oh in my sc today i have beef joint, fresh chillis, onion garlic and peppers with a little stock, when cooked it will be shredded chilli beef yum

we have a slow cooker but have only really used it for stews....

is there anything u CANT put in it? is it a matter of just putting anything in it and leaving it for 6 hours?

thanks all!

ok i am browning off some mince to make a spag bal for tea,

and i want to use up stuff from the freezer, ready to make room for christmas stuff,

so this is what i was going to do in the slow cooker.

browned mince and onion with mixed herbs garlic

add a tin of campbells mediterranean tomato condensed soup ( was only 7p in poundstretcher..lol..)

add water,

then add remains of frozen veg stew pack, and what ever tinned veg i got that i know i am not going to use...( long story)

also thinking of adding a tin of baked beans to bulk it up too

so it would turn out a bit like a mince beef tomato casserole

Sounds yummy to me : )

Did you cook it on high heat or low and how long for. Oh and what did you eat with it.

Thanks
