Well, I've dug my slow cooker out of the cupboard and made a steak chilli for tonight's tea, using stewing steak that was RTC in Mr T's last week (froze it until yesterday). Used fresh chilli, cumin, smoked paprika and a wee bit of cinnamon in my spice mix - hope it's not too hot

Not going to add the peppers and kidney beans until later on this afternoon though, otherwise they'll be mush :eek:

We'll have it with rice, creme fraiche and salsa this evening. :j

Did carrot and coriander soup overnight.
Carrots
Onion
potato
1 tsp ground coriander
veg stock........just need to blitz and add fresh coriander

I've defrosted some pork loin steaks for tea tonight but never done them in sc before. Do I need to brown them first? Do they go tender?

Cat_Addict

Pork steaks can go in unbrowned. They go so tender they fall apart and you have to be careful not to do them for too long - but absolutely mouthwatering! I did mine in cider and apple sauce.

can you do a pasta bake (pasta,milk,bacon etc) in a slow cooker?

Lovely smells wafting through the house from my SC at the mo! Potatoes, carrots, kidney beans, chick peas, split peas, lentils and pearl barley, stock, tomatoes, herbs and harissa plus water - it will make a lovely filling and warming stew ready for when the kids come in from school. Will serve with some couscous. SC holds 6.5l and it is full, bet that there isn't a lot left though, think we all need a bit of internal central heating at the mo, like the old ready brek ad!

OMG it's been several days and i am soo into my sc! Tonight i'll be cooking chicken slices, carrots,leaks,sweede,patatoes,mushrooms in a chicken tonight sauce. Havent tried the sauce before in the sc so unsure if it will work but hey ho! Has anyone tried that sauce?

ShelBell

I've used a chicken tonight sauce in mine no probs. Katy cocoa don't forget pork should always be cooked on high.

Clarew not tried pasta in mine, believe it can go soggy if left too long.

Do you put cooked rice in?
