    I used our Sc to cook the gammon yesterday morning, just with a half pint of water (plenty of flavour in a gammon), a chunk of brisket then went in after lunch on a bed of onions, carrots, celery and parsnips with a bottle of ale, a good spoon full of mustard powder and a bovril cube.....it's beautiful.

    Turkey crown was done in the oven in a lidded roasting dish, didn't baste it at all and it's gorgeous. The turkey bones are now in the SC bubblin away for stock.

    I couldn't be without my slow cooker :)

    Thanks for the update. I did a turkey crown in the oven yesterday - deliciously moist. But I have a second one in the freezer to cook at New Year and I shall certainly try your recipe.

    Why is it I have less time now I am retired then when I worked?
  • We did a whole turkey in our SC second year running, I am not a fan of skin anyway and it is so much easier. Large SC so a small turkey just fits ( wrapped the lid with foil for the first 2 hours until the turkey shrinks down enough for the lid to fit.

    I used mine yesterday to do a joint of silverside, as there was no room in the oven and it was gorgeous. Definitely be doing it like that all the time!

  • Haven't got a clue on exactly how much it costs to run but apparently it's as cheap as having a light bulb on?
