Nothing in at the moment, bought some ys Aberdeen Angus beef chunk yesterday, froze half and was intending to cook the rest today but been a bit busy so may leave until tomorrow. Just bought a b/nut squash and mushrooms so may include them.

Cooked a chicken last night (my first attempt) following instructions on this forum ,,,, worked brilliantly, kept the stock and made chicken, mushroom and bacon risotto today, very tasty. stripped the bones and now have them in with some celery, onion and carrot to make some more stock for soup later.
will experiment with the rice pudding tomorrow, does anyone have the quantities, or is it the same as oven baked ? thanks x

Don't know if I'm too late to answer but with my rice pudding I use 100g pudding rice, 1 litre of milk, 3 tbsp sugar, the grated zest of one lemon and a pinch of nutmeg. Stir it all round and cook on med for 5 hours, or on high for 4hrs, or on low for 7-8 hrs.

Loving this thread.

Can anyone put a simple leek and potato soup recipe on here? I usually make this on the hob but I have bought a slow cooker and want to try it in there.

Also I did a whole chicken the other day and it was absolutely gorgeous. Did beef yesterday and that was beautiful.

I'm looking for simple receipes to start with guys.

Thanks for this thread xx

Good oh marionmgcars, you did good gal. In a mo I will put beef etc into SC for tonight and prob some for tomorrow. I like to cook in bags (wash and re-use serveral times) so if I want to do small dinners I can cook 2 different ones at same time.

Now thats very clever. DS2 only likes chicken so we can cook the same sauce but different meats in two bags. Brilliant!

cheerfulness4 - I only have a small sc but can get dinner/pudding and sometimes something else in in 3 bags, saves elec and washing up, just take bags out and SC is ready to use again (I know have to wash bags but if bone idle, can throw away X)
Nothing in SC today, yesterdays beef stew (should we call it a casserolle?) was lovely, enough for tomorrow as today sorted. The recipe said to add spoon of Golden Syrup which I would never have thought of - lovely.

I do the same but use one tin of evaporated milk made up to a litre with ordinary milk.

I have just lifted a whole chicken with carrots and onion out of mine.

I love it like that, too. It really makes a deluxe rice pudding.

Having to go with normal milk to lower cals at mo but we'll be pushing the boat out with the evap during the cold, wintery days to come. An inexpensive treat.

How much sugar do you use as I used to lower mine with it being sweeter? Not made with evap since actually measuring ingredients for health reasons.
