Slow cooker

[ilovemydog123]

I'm not very good at cooking
I've bought a slow cooker anyone suggest some easy recipes please

Have a look here.

My favourite have been the Chinese beef and broccoli, chicken satay and the beef Enchiladas.

Thank you sounds yummy do you have a recipe for it x

On I just clicked on the link thanks

Taming twins is good per pp. I also follow bored of lunch on instagram. He also has just released a slow cooker recipe book. Pinch of nom website has some good slow cooker ones too.

Moroccan chickpea and apricot chicken a firm family favourite in our house.

BoredOfLunch on instagram has lots of ideas - he's just brought out a slow cooker book too

It’s very good for things that take a long time. Beetroot, quince, oranges or other citrus for marmalade or orange and almond cake, Christmas pudding. You don’t have to have it in the kitchen bench for these - just pop it into a corner and let it do it’s thing. I just caramelised a few onions over the weekend. Much easier than doing in the bbq.

The best slow cooker meal I have is lamb shanks. Everything falls off the bone and beautifully moist.

You can adjust it to taste.

Slow cookers don't simmer down or dry out like a pot roast or stove top meal would, Put a clean folded tea towel taut across the top and hold it in place with the lid like this when you want a sauce to thicken. This soaks up the condensation that would normally drip back into the bowl that would keep the sauce at it's beginning consistency.

So when I'm doing the lamb shanks I do the tea-towel on them to thicken up the gravy. You might still need to thicken it up some more in a pan but it gets you most of the way to a gorgeous gravy.

Doesn't broccoli absolutely disintegrate in a slow cooker?

The Bored of Lunch cookbook mentioned above is really good. Only bought it last month and it’s already one of my favourites (and I’m a cookbook addict and have way too many!!).

Bored of lunch slow cooker recipe book is absolutely amazing.
I also use a smart plug with my slow cooker so it turns itself on when I'm at work.

I just made pulled pork in mine. Delicious and really easy.

Thank you I will have a look x
