Left it overnight on low and it seems to be cooked this morning. Left it out to cool will reheat some to eat tonight and freeze some more for later in the week. Really annoyed with it!!!! Ended up having to have a couple of pizzas we had in the freezer which were OK but not what I really wanted.

Root vegetables do take a lot longer in a slow cooker than meat on low - I either fry them with the meat when I'm browning it before putting it in the cooker to give them a head start, or I've got an auto setting on mine which starts on high then switches to low, which works with root veg.

sausage casserole today as we've got swimming lessons straight from school - will just need to do a bit of rice when we get in. have left out the onions and peppers today, after an onion meltdown from both kids last night (refused bolognese due to the miniature bit of onion - and went hungry!) and have added a tin of black eyed beans as well as the baked beans, and chucked in some carrot and one diced potato as well. smells lovely!

Made a bolognese sauce in the sc yesterday, had spag bol for dinner last night. Am making baked potatoes with some of that sauce plus grated cheese tonight. Today I've a gammon in the sc, which will, once cooled, be sliced thin for sandwiches (got a slicer from Argos yesterday - £20) and the stock used for something - probably a soup.

I could never work it out either but someone on another thread explained that all you need to do is click on the square at the end with the"and+ on think its the first one after the thanks and quote button do this to each one you want to quote than the last one just press quote as usual and it should work. If you can understand that I must be getting clever!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Bacon onion and mushroom pudding in mine today.

400gm braising steak marked down to £1.88 at Coop yesterday.

Potatoes, carrots, parsnip, onion and mushrooms all way past their best but scrubbed up OK.

Tin of value beans and lentil soup as noone in our family will eat them unless they are hidden .

And I've just found 1/2 pack of Aunt Bessie's dumplings in the freezer :T.

Mine is an old one and if I want it cooked quicker then I pop a clean teatowel over the top (glass cloth!) it seems to work? it still lets out some steam too though so works better. might be a thought?!

Ive just made a green thai curry - but not in the slow cooker Added green curry paste to stir fried onion and pheasant (tis the season you know) added a tin on coconut milk, garden peas and french beans, does anyone know if this would work in the slow cooker? how does coconut milk cope?

Did Liver & Bacon tonight - only needed 2 1/2 hours - 1 hr on high then down to low.

Served with mash, steamed carrots and cabbage - hubby even had 2nds which is almost unheard of!

I'm still eating the chilli I made on Monday evening and there's more left after today's lunch. I have transferred it to a bowl in the fridge though, not just left it festering in the slow cooker.
