Slow cooker - QUICK question....

[toadette]

...just about to make curry in the slowcooker. Have to rush out soon to swimming lessons so just wondering if the onions and meat MUST be fried off before I add them. Or can I just chuck them in the slowcooker without frying off to save time (will be cooking for around 5-6 hours in the slowcooker). Thanks

It might lose a little colour and flavour but it will be ok.

It'll be OK, but it'll taste 'stewed'.

My family have never seemed to mind that though - it's just me who's fussy.

Thanks for your quick replies
