Don't worry. I haven't used any of the recipes included with my slow cooker. Just do a google, or look on this forum. Most one pot recipes can be adapted for the slow cooker.

A general rule is to put veg at the bottom as they take longer to cook, meat next, then just liquid to barely cover. If putting a joint of meat in, just put a cm or two of liquid at the bottom, as you'll get loads of juices from the meat.

Thanks - i not worried as i use my SC a lot and I mean a lot. I was just answering the previous poster who was saying they didnt get any recipes

ETA - Just removed the veg/oat/mince concoction that was cooking overnight and it smells lovely - drooling already

Yesterday i did the gammon in coke and it was gorgeous, afterwards when i put it in the oven post glazing my mouth was watering i shall slice the rest up and freeze later today, it has stood in the fridge overnight so i shall get the food slicer out and see how far i can make it go.

Later today i am going to wash out my new smaller sc that i`ve not used yet and make chicken chasseur, the older 6.5 litre one will be saved for the bigger stuff or when i want to make more portions, hopefully i will like the new smaller one so fingers crossed.

We are not using the slow cooker today - having stuffed mushrooms, quiche (for those who will not eat mushroom) and a large salad.

Tomorrow hubby is getting liver and onions done in slow cooker.

May I have the details for the liver and onions please? Also, does it freeze well?

I put Turkey/Chicken carcasses in yesterday to make stock from. I've picked the bones/slimey bits/veg pieces out of it now and it's going in a saucepan to reduce down a bit.

When cooled I'll use some to make 'Leek and Potato Soup' and freeze the remainder in a lidded margarine container.

yum yum yum yum, I've got rice pudding in mine right now. I've made HM soup and we're having rice for afters. Completely sick of all this rich food now so will be doing a couple of days of this. DH grumpy cos he's gone to work and the rice isn't ready yet. Can't wait

Lamb casserole with a sauce made from onion, leek, celery, garlic, 1/2 tin tomatoes & a cup of red wine. It smells wonderful & we're just waiting for the veg to steam, can't wait!

I bought a reduced chicken today so tomorrow I'm going to take off the breasts & legs & use the rest to make stock for a roast butternut squash soup for next weeks lunches. I'll cajun the breasts for tomorrow's dinner & freeze the legs for chicken cacciatore another day!

We bought our daughter & partner one of the £10 Tesco slow cookers for Christmas, I hope they get as much use out of it as we do.
