Hello everyone,
I've been following this thread with interest. I love my slow cookers ( I have 2,1 - big and 1 - huge)
I have the makings of chicken stock simmering away. This will be used to make an adaptation of Ena Baxter's famous !!!! 'a' Leekie soup.
Next dish will probably be the rice pudding recipe I spotted on here.

Hi everyone, I have bought a slow cooker for the first time and cant wait to make the first meal. I live alone so I intend to batch cook so I can make extra meals to freeze, my slow cooker is 3.5 Litre so suggestions and recipes would be very helpful. ThanksLow Carb High Fat is the way forward I lost 80 lbs

Welcom Viv I also do batch cooking or as I say, cooking for the freezer. This page will help. I use the cooking bags so I can cook 2 or even 3 ingredients at the same time, bags can be washed out and re-used.0

Today I cooked some chinese flavoured belly pork in mine. Yuck, wont do that again. Delicious in the conventional oven as the fat cooks down but horrible in the slowcooker.

I had a similar problem Cheerfulness - I was making a Greek lamb casserole, and as I'd cut off as much visible fat as possible I thought I'd 'skip' browning it so put it straight in with all the other bits and bobs (onions, garlic, tomatoes, herbs, gigantes etc.), only to find 4 hours later the biggest pool of bubbling grease ever. Mmm, tasty. Not......:(Attempting £40 grocery only for the month of October.
