will leeks go soggy in slow cooker??

[simpson]

Have planned to do chicken casserole type thing in slow cooker tomorrow and have:

chicken breast (obv. )
carrots
potatoes
onions
sweet potatoes
leeks
chicken stock
flour

Do I bung it all in at the same time or will the leeks be too soggy and need to go in a couple of hours after everything else iyswim??

Hi Simpson,

I had the same question as well, I found on another thread the website MealSavers and they have a whole section on slow cooking and the do's and do nots and they also have a free PDF with 20 exclusive recipes, a few of them are for chicken!

don;t leeks go soggy when you cook them anyway??

thought that was the essence of leeks....

genuine query, as I always find however I do them they go soggy, like onions.

well will let you know guys

Have just bunged it all in at the same time

psycho - just didn't want them to go so soggy they disintegrate iyswim

debbie - have bookmarked that cheers

ahh....I get'cha now

lets hope it does as you hope then

and, that it is as tasty as it sounds

well it smells nice so far

i'll be keen to find out how your sweet potatoes go - i've tried this and they just turned to mush in mine. thinking i may have set it too high (wasn't a major issue, as they dissolved anyway, but interested to know).

yum yum chicken casserole

yes sweet potato seemed to have disappeared

Leeks were ok though

And it tasted yummy

Even got some left over for freezer...
