    Hi, not much of a cook but can this beef be cooked in the slowcooker?
    Is it rump or silverside?
    Thank you.

    I bet there will be some who will complain they were overcharged - How come I was charged £10.60 when it should have been £4.00 !?


    Missing the per kilo!

    Mine is silverside. This should be good roasted but, as always, even better "low & slow". Silverside is also nice boiled: I remember my Mum doing this.
    If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5? :)

    I got two joints, both were Topside. One I cut in half and the bigger one into three. All lovely and lean. And all stashed away in the freezer for now. If they are as tasty as last year's £4 a kilo ones I'll be happy!

    It doesn't say on the pack if it's topside or silverside?

    I normally buy my meat from local suppliers , but I thought at that price I would buy a few joints, cooked one yesterday on slow, and it was still tasteless and tough as old boots.

    Hope the other joints are the same, but after these going back to locally produced, alot more expensive, but far better value

    Did you add a little stock or water to the slow cooker.

    I add just a cupfull and the meat comes out very tender. You also have some tasty stock for gravy.
