Help with lamb

[WannaBeMonica]

I usually sear half a leg of lamb then slow cook for 7-8 hours, however I'm cooking for more people today so I have two half legs. I seared them both before realising they won't both fit in my slow cooker! It's pretty big so I thought they would.

After a bit of googling I have put one leg in the slow cooker and the other leg in the oven on 150° in with some stock/veg and covered in foil. Will this work? Will they both cook OK? I plan to turn and uncover the oven leg after 4hrs and will return to the oven for 50 mins to brown, then will keep covered/warm while the slow cooker leg finishes cooking and I make roasties/veg. Will this work? Should I just put both legs in the oven?

That sounds fine. Lamb is very forgiving. If I had a tray to fit both, I would probably do them in the one tray to save washing up or whatever, but whatever suits you will be fine.

I would imagine both will be delicious.

I always slow roast lamb in the oven and it's very straightforward and pretty much impossible to get wrong as long as you keep it well covered for most of the cooking.

I wouldn't have thought it would be a problem to do both in the oven if you have space but if youve got the slow cooker going already I'd just leave it to do its thing.

Wish I was coming for dinner!

Thank you both so much, I'm reassured it won't be a disaster! I've never been able to get lamb just right (delicious, like my mum's). As long as I don't burn it or poison anyone I'll consider it a success
