l would be taking it back or at least inquiring about it from the place you brought it we just chuck everything in ours and they all cook so there may be something wrong with the crockpot

I cooked it for about 5 hours... . it was a wee bit over cooked to be honest (had lost most of its rice texture, went a bit like mashed potatoes)... so next time I will not cook it for as long. (I came home at lunchtime and put it on... left it till tea time. The recipie I found online said cook for about 3 hours.

Guernsey Bean Jar Recipe
1 lb haricot beans (soaked overnight) (i use 3/4 haricot and 1/4 butter beans 1 lb onions chopped Salt & pepper to taste 1 lb carrots chopped Thyme, sage, parsley, to taste 1 bacon hock or pigs trotter or marrow bone Some belly pork or cheap cuts or 1. 5 lb brisket Stock
Place all the ingredients in a slow cooker (or large casserole or bean jar covered in water in the oven at 150F) for 8 hrs or overnight, adding more boiling water as necessary.
You can add a beef stock cube to the water if you like, don't use too much salt as the bacon can be salty.
Lovely served with a nice fresh crusty loaf or mashed potato and veggies

hi anyone got a good mild beef curry recipe they could add would realy appreciate
I've got layered potatoes in mine right now, - bowl sprayed lightly with oil, layer of sliced potatoes, sprinkling of dried onions, flour, salt & pepper and a generous handful of tasty grated cheese, repeat 2 or 3 times more finishing the flour, seasonings, & tasty cheese etc on top. Pour over a little milk and cook on high for 4-6 hours or so. If your crockpot gets quite hot as opposed to the older Sunbeam models, it may need to be turned down to low for the last hour or two. Sometimes the length of time can vary depending on the potatoes, as some cook quicker than others. Pays to test by poking a sharp knife in the middle to 'feel' if the potatoes are cooked. If not they may need another hour on high. This recipe is 'scrummy' and always enjoyed by all!

I do the crockpot rice pudding with 2L milk, 1C rice, 1C sugar, and add cinnamon or vanilla, depending on how I am feeling
