Its a great one, i meant boring because we must have it twice a week just now lol, the gammon joints are on special at somerfield

Sausages tomatoes garlic puree and tomato puree sweetcorn and broad beans and some mixed mediterranean veg.

I always worry that the just bung it in approach won't work and I'll get home to something inedible, but either it is very easy or I've been very lucky so far!!!

It's so nice to get home to something ready to eat. Just some instant mash to bung togther - as i didn't have any potatoes to put in.

I'm planning on cooking a piece of beef that my husband has bought but the last time i put a piece in the sc it came out and fell apart (which was fantastic) BUT it was very very dry, I don't want this to happen again so any suggestions??
Many thanks.

It a piece of Rolled Brisket, not too big but big enough for us four!

If you don't put water in.....put some in about 1/3 of the way up. If you do this already i don;t know what else to suggest :D

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:

I read that you shouldn't use vegetables from the brassica family when making stock as they can make it smell sulphurous - think brussel sprouts at Christmas. I would imagine that the long soup cooking time in a slow cooker could have the same pongy effect.

Mine's got fairy liquid in it and is having the day off. But the chicken/chickpea curry was lovely.
