I've got two - a massive one which never gets used now (unless visitors are coming!) and a tiny little one which is perfect for a couple of chops or chicken thighs. There's nothing better than walking through the door to the smell of a stew or casserole, or BBQ flavoured ribs, or mustard gammon, or caribbean style pork........ or......... or........ OMG now my mouth is watering!! I'm getting my pot roast recipe book out right now!!

For roasting. I finally discovered (well tried) roasting bags. I've never had a more succulent roast chicken in my life. The meat falls off the bone and melts in the mouth. Not expensive either. Under a couple of £ for a pack of 5 in Asda.
What's the best way of cooking joints in a slow cooker, I've never done it before.
We need some winter warmer slow cooker recipes for the recipe section.

A couple of hours ago I started a stew off in mine. Massive amounts of onion and sewing beef cut into big chunks, a couple of potatoes, three carrots and a handfull of sprouts. A veg stock cube (ran out of beef oxo cubes).... note to self, get more oxo cubes, ninny.... anyway, and enough water to cover it. I have used a big pack of beef because I like to have it for the next few days. Tonight i will eat half the veggies that are in it and the other half tomorrow and then on the third night I will have the left over meat with a baked pot, which I eat hardly any off but you have to show willing lol.

On a day when you are in the house try this way of roasting a joint or a chicken.
Slice up an onion and sprinkle it with some mixed herbs, salt and pepper. Place your bit of meat or chicken on top of them and drizzle or brush with olive oil. Put the lid on the slow cooker and leave it on high for an hourish, check after an hour if the onions are cooked, if they are then place about a soup ladle's worth of water or better still veg stock onto the onion (hot stock) and put the lid back on, leave it on high for another half hour and then turn it to the next setting down, could be medium or low depending on your slow cooker. Keep checking it till it is done. I like herbs sprinkled on top of the joint too and some chunky salt. Of course you wont get crunchy crackling on top of pork or crust on top of things but the meat will be lovely. If not too much fat has come out of the meat onto the onions you could make gravy from the onions and residue.
Let me know if you try it.

Sounds great may try that. I assume you could blast it for a bit at the end in the oven to try & make the skin into crackling or remove it from the joint & roast for a bit on its own for other family members who can't live without the crackling.

You could just cut the skin off the joint prior to putting it in the slow cooker.
Dry with kitchen towel, rub bit of oil then sprinkle with salt. Then put it in the oven to roast on its own. Bobs ya Uncle and even if he's not you'll have good tasty crackling lol

No regrets!!
Brilliant Rayne!! I have to say, all this talk has made me dig out my slow cooker/crockpot recipe books and all the recipe clippings I have collected over the years - I plan to make 2012 The Year Of The Crockpot!! The other great thing about them is that you can buy much much cheaper cuts of meat, as you cook for so long that even the tougher cuts like beef skirt etc fall apart when cooked this way! So it's economical too!
