kiwififer Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The discussions on here are basically forcing my hand to buy a slow cooker. I hope the hype is true Edit to ask, what size is best to go for depends, is it for you on yer own or do you have a large family? Obviously don't get a huge one if it's just you and yer missus... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky+remote Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 It's about time I did that pulled pork again, next weekend perhaps. Only used the slow cooker once this year, not enough, need some fresh ideas, becoming bored of cooking the same things, not just slow cooking-wise, in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footiechick Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Chicken legs and thighs with a chinese style stock. (stock, ginger, chillies, five spice, sugar, soy sauce, shoising wine) Serving with noodles in a big bowl with the stock as a sort of soup with the chicken shredded off the bone. Hope it's nice! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(stock, ginger, chillies, five spice, sugar, soy sauce, shoising wine) Serving with noodles in a big bowl with the stock as a sort of soup with the chicken shredded off the bone. Hope it's nice! CHINSE CHICKEN HOT POT 1 whole chicken (or I used some legs and thighs coz there was just two of us) 1 litre water 1 litre chicken stock 500ml chinese cooking wine 125 ml light soy sauce 80ml oyster sauce 75g light brown sugar 4 garlic cloves (bruised) 2" ginger peeled and sliced 3 star anise 1 tsp chinese 5 spice 2 red chillies Put chicken in slow cooker. Combine all ingredients and pour over chicken Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Remove chicken, strain broth and discard solids. Keep chicken warm ( i removed all skin and bones) Add pak choi (if you like)to stock and put back in slow cooker or in a pan for 5 mins til wilted. I added a tblsp of fish sauce and juice of half a lime as well. Put egg noodles in a large bowl, put chcken on top and ladle over broth (as much as you want!!) I also topped mine with more chilli, spring onions and coriander. This would easily serve 6 if a whole chicken is used. There was loads of broth left (as there was just the 2 of us). ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Has anyone attempted a bolognese in it? The missus tried it tonight and it wasn't the best, I reckon she used too much liquid as it was quite wattery. Anyone got a recipe for it in a slow cooker? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this http://www.easydinnerrecipes.co.uk/tasty-spaghetti-bolognese.html Not doubting your wifes cooking ability,but did she brown off the mince first and drain of excess liquid before transferring to Slow Cooker? Slow cookers also create a lot of steam which condenses on the lid and as a result adds more liquid to whatever your cooking. I always tend to add a wee bit less liquid than most recepies suggest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the club was formed,Reina was nominated President,but to be honest,of late she's done very little to keep the spirit of the P&B S.C.O.C alive. I therefore propose that she is duly removed from this position and you,Footiechick , take over as President. All those in favour say"!Aye" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
