Does this sound ok before I ruin my meat? :-)

[BloodshotEyeballsintheScarySky]

I've just put:

lamb shanks
potatoes
leeks
carrots
onion
garlic
rosemary
some stock

in the slow cooker. I am skint, a slow cooker newbie and do not want to ruin my expensive and lovely lamb. Does this sound ok or have I missed anything?

think you should brown the lamb first and not put it in raw

Ooh, ok. Thanks!
