Are You Embarrassed By Your Slow Cooker Skills? Here's What To Do
One is fantastic for my family of 6. It was well packaged and the images were
Great on the box with details of the capacity of the cooker.
Already use them I had some thoughts already.
Our first meal was a turkey soup, it was so simple we bought a turkey leg
In the local meat market (price #2.50), then a few new vegetables (cost
approx. It was really easy to then make we put the turkey in the
Bottom of the dish and chopped the vegetable into big chunks all roughly
The identical size and put then on the top, we then added chicken stock to
Cover the vegetables and seasoning, we cooked this on automobile for about 6
Hours but we just left it and gave it the strange stir (you do not need to do that
though). Once cooked we took the turkey out and stripped it from the bone,
I then blended the vegetables (my children won't eat lumps) to create a smooth
Soup and then stirred down the turkey through.
Bread and it was so nice there wasn't a drop left in the bowls when
finished.
This was such a simple dish to make and the auto function means you can
Pop this on before work and it would cook at the right temp then just keep it
Warm until you got home -- terrific way to make real homemade food cheaply
The soup price us about #7 together to make and fed 6 people and a
Portion to freeze as well.
Our next recipe was a little more adventurous we decided to try cooking
A ham Joint but WOW it was brilliantly and was so yummy.
To do this recipe you'll need pliers joint (gammon type joint) we had one
about 1.9kg in weight with the fat still on.
Cloudy apple juice (900ml for the joint we did)
200ml Maple syrup
25-30 whole cloves
2tsps Ground Ginger
1tbsp Ground Nutmeg
1tbsp ground cloves
2tbsp Ground cinnamon
1, You score the fat then pop the whole cloves in Ensuring they are
spread evenly.
2, Set the joint in the dich and bad in apple juice leaving about 2 inches of
The ham above the surface of the juice.
3, Press the brown sugar in really firmly to the top of the joint and pour over
the maple syrup.
4, Take the remaining juice and mix all the dry ingredients into this and
Then fill the cooker up as far as possible to the fill point.
5, Cook on a low setting for 8-10 Hours (we did 10 hours) leave to stand
10-15 minutes before cutting.
We cooked ours overnight and it was ready when I got up.
Well the ham was so yummy, we had a sneaky flavor whilst warm and it was
So yummy but we'd decided to have it as a meal later that day with
Sausage wedges and salad and it was mouth-watering and so yummy. We
Had enough ham left over after feeding 2 adults along with the 2 older children for
sandwiches and a pasta dish for lunches. The meat kept well and was still
Fresh for a couple of days after wards it sliced really well.
This is something I will definitely be trying again as this saved us a fortune
On cooked meats for lunches as the joint was only #6 and we just needed
The cloudy apple juice which was approximately #2 and the rest of the stuff I
I've already started to look at different recipes and
Flavours we could do.

Overall the slow cooker is must have for a large busy household we have loads
Of recipes lined up for the forthcoming weeks. Keeping food prices down has
Been a big battle with having 6 mouths to feed but you can create good
Home cooked wholesome food quite cheaply and this is excellent for us and the
Variety is endless and it's all about experimenting and trying new things if it
Doesn't work try something different.
I would say to anybody with a family or on your own you need a slow cooker
On your life, my father has nagged me for ages to get one as he cooks loads
Of soups and stews and they're always so yummy I can now make my
Own rather than rely on him to do it for us. He lives on his own and makes
Lots and freezes them and they taste just
Do anything else with his time.
This to me is a Gigantic 5 stars and I can't wait to keep creating some great
food.
