I'm disappointed with my slow cooker

givememoney · 2007-10-14 16:48:02

I have bought a Prima slow cooker as recommended by WHICH magazine. I have had three attempts and cannot get it right. 1. Pork cooked it for 8 hours on Auto (this is HIGH for a few hours then automatically turns to LOW) - all cooked but drier than I expected. 2. A stew again on AUTO for 8 hours - OK but very bland tasting…

I have found that the meat does definitely dry
but if you are cooking something where the sauce is integral to the dish like a curry or stew- this is not a problem.
if its a slow "roast" then the meat needs slicing or shredding and then soaking in the gravy ( or juices) before serving if its not going to be horribly dry - it is surprisingly absorbant if you do this..amazing how much liquid disappears back into the meat - or am I doing something wrong to it in the first place?
