In my slow cooker today...

Sui_Generis

A surprisingly busy kitchen day - one loaf from the breadmaker, and from the SC chicken breasts cooked in a tomato sauce for the freezer and spag bol meatballs again for the freezer. 4 meals in all. What to eat tonight I wonder? Jacket potato probably....

Root vegetable and red lentil soup. Yum!

Tomorrow I have a large leg of lamb. Can any of you lovely people tell me how long roughly I should give it? I have the 6.5l MR SC - it never needs as long as some of the other makes but i've never done a joint of meat before. I was guessing at about 6 hrs on low maybe?

Was going to lay it on some carrotts, celery and an onion, pop some water in and then mash all those up afterwards to make the gravy, a la Jamie. Does that sound right?

Sounds fine to me. I love joints of meat done that way.

I plan on cooking beef stew & dumplings in mine tomorrow...yum! I have diced beef, onions, carrots, leeks, potatoes, garlic & bouillon. Shall I add a tin of chopped tomatoes also, or will that be too much liquid? What herbs would you recommend adding - which ones go well with beef? Thank you xxx

Nothing in mine today as we're having byriani tonight from LO curry. Yesterday I did jacket potatoes - just wrapped in foil and cooked for about 4 hours. They were fantastic! :j

I wondered if I read that right, jacket spuds in the slow cooker???
I shall have to give it a try!! Do you have to put a drop of water in the bottom of the crockpot, just to produce the moisture? Sexkillen, can you tell us how to do it??

I did that once just to test it out. in tin foil on the rest of whatever dinner i was cooking. Worked fine. foil conducted the heat
