Slow cooked roast lamb in a multi cooker

[Rainmakerof69]

I used to roast a shoulder of lamb in the oven without any liquid, but the lamb was in a tin with foil over the top. There were plenty of juices to make gravy with and the lamb was tender.

I now have a multi cooker and want to try the slow cooking function.

Can I just pretty much cook the lamb as I did before or will it dry out without some liquid to cook in? I've not found a slow cooker recipe that doesn't use some stock.

I cooked a leg of lamb in my slow cooker lately, didn't put in any liquid but did put some onion and carrots just to hold the lamb up off the bottom, there was a decent amount of stock in it when it was cooked, it certainly came nowhere near burning or getting dry.

Do you have a multi cooker with sauté and grill functions?

You can get some fat as liquid and browning going on if you sauté, then slow cook and grill the top to get a nice crust at the end.

Thanks for your replies.

I did eventually find a 'recipe' for roasting all meat. You brown using the saute function, then cook with the joint wrapped in foil. This mimics what I do in the normal oven which is what I was hoping for in the slow cooker.
I'll keep you posted.

Success!
Seasoned and browned the meat using saute.

I put it on the steaming rack with some garlic cloves below.

Then foil on top (not sure this is necessary) and cooked on low for 6 hours, it's perfectly tender.

Oh and juices to make gravy with.

Oh that sounds delicious 😋
