Feeling a bit tempted to cook a chicken in there at the weekend but not too sure how

We discussed this a few pages back. Have a look here and here and the result


Its the easiest thing you'll cook in the SC and the best tasting.

We all have the flu bug so the slow cooker was the obvious choice today

Red lentils,
Dried onions,
Few potatoes,
Half a bag of spinach.
Random herbs and a couple of veg stock cubes.
Don't hope for too much but no-one will starve, if they feel up to eating that is

Hi fedupandskint,
i cooked a whole chicken in my sc on sunday and it was lovely, i browned off the chicken in a fry pan first then put it in my sc on high for 1 hour then on low for 7 hours with a carrot, celery stick, onion and clove of garlic.

after 8 hours i attempted to take the chicken out but it fell apart, i scooped all the bones and skin out , once i removed all of the chicken i made the juices/stock into gravy .
i will def be doing this again next sunday

Beef brisket will be going on in the morning, with a bottle of ale. Onions and shallots are ready, I thought we had mushrooms but someone ate them for breakfast, perhaps it should have carrots and swede too, we don't like celery. Or maybe just quartered potatoes... or dumplings?

Sunday's effort was another depressingly awful attempt at soup. It was so foul it went in the bin, a whole carrier bag full - the 6.5 litre crockpot was full to the top with everything I had handy, and cooked for 8 hours. Marrows, radishes, onions, carrots, cauliflower, tomatoes, and a pack of Morrisons soup mix (lentils etc) that was two years out of date but hadn't been opened. Also oxo cubes, passata, garlic and tomato puree. Didn't have cumin so I used coriander and a dash of curry powder. Maybe I should have left out the passata... or the marrows... or the cauli... I'm doing something terribly wrong with these veg concoctions, it's the second one that's been binned (not sure if it should have gone in the compost bin). I love tinned soup, as well as the Covent Garden ones, but come to think of it I've not seen marrow soup. The hens can have the remaining marrows and I will stick to buying soup, resenting what it costs isn't as bad as throwing food away :-(

much like yourself i did the same with the soup,,smell in the house was awful when i came home,,so had to bin it,,i reckon it was the cauliflower,,i dont know why i even used it,,was my first time putting it into a soup:rolleyes:

In Asda today I bought a whopsie boneless lamb sholder for £4.88.
The weight is .870kg.

I would like to pop it in the SC in the morning but what with and how long? I would guess about 8hrs? but not to sure.

sorry-is that a typo? must be-i bought a whole lamb, with bones and it was about 20kg, biggest shoulder i have had is about 2, but with bones?
I would cook over sliced spuds and onions with garlic, but I usually roast in oven for about 3-4 hours, as i find you get your nice crispy skin(highest for 30mins then 140 for 3-4 hours), dont really get on too well with SC, apart from soup/stock but reckon 6-8 hours sounds about right. I would stick in oven at high temp at end though to brown spuds etc, yum yum

Beef stew (well I used a bourguignon sauce mix but it just tasted like stew to me!)
