We have joined the Slow Cooker fans, bought one and it arrived today. smile

I am in a group on facebook about healthy eating on a budget and a lot of the recipes uploaded are for slow cookers and so with that in mind and rave reviews from friends and family we bought one....

Prepped potato, veg and meat ready for a One Pot Wonder for its maiden voyage tomorrow.

Looking forward to trying the infamous 'pulled pork' and also bought some braising steak for later in the week- not sure what to do with it though??

Hope this turns out ok for tomorrows tea. I've browned braising steak and placed in s.c.

Fried onions with some garlic. Then I made a paste with cornflour, water and mustard- added it to leftover stock, to thicken.

Plonked in s.c. Ready to be cooked for 8-10 hours on low.

Down to me, not the equipment, but I never mastered them. Either exposed food above liquid level went brown/dried out, or too much liquid gave a 'thin' taste, and trying to thicken anything during cooking led to disgusting lumpy results. And oh- the potatoes just didnt seem to want to cook half the time when other stuff with it,was ready. Good job I never had to cook for a living Id be out on my ear!

This is a good recipe for stew, cooked it a few times and always turned out good.

The 'One Pot Wonder' was a success-never cut a chop with a spoon before?? However, far too much liquid- did not realise that potatoes and veg 'water out'.

Using some of the excess fluid for tomorrows tea:I learnt that mixing the cornflour with water to form a paste is better than just dumping cornflour in a 'thin gravy'?? Once smooth, it avoids lumps. Hope this helps.

Thanks Rude , Ill try the cornflour next time instead of flour. Since OH got a Remoska we dont use the slow cooker much but it certainly would be convenient for 'meals to come home to' . Dont eat meat myself , but its still on the menu here , so I could do with reviving that method of cooking.

Pizza Swirls

100g butter
3 cup fulls (235ml per cup) self raising flour
1 cup milk
tomato puree
any filling u like sweet and savoury

i used tomato puree, cheese, onion, mushroom, pineapple chunks and bacon pieces.

mix the butter, milk and flour in a bowl
knead till its a smooth texture
roll out into a rectangle shape 1/2cm thickness
cover with your choosen ingrediants
roll up into a swiss roll shape and cut into swirls
layer the pot with grease proof paper and put the swirls ontop
put a tea towel under the lid to stop the condensation dripping while cooking so they dont go soggy.

2.5hrs high or 4.5hrs low
