bugger forgot the water! lol i make it about 1/2-1inch from the top, then when i get home i take the hock out and take all the meat of, shred it with my fingers into smaller bits and put it back in. ALSO when your putting your veges in, in the morning pack them in as when you take the hock out before serving theres alot of space left over.

I don't have time to type out the recipe, but the other day I made the 'roast' whole chicken with spicy paprika rub, from the Simon/Alison Holst 100 great ways to use crockpots book.Wow, it was one of the nicest meals i'd had in ages! really lovely.

my tip for cooking whole chicken in the crockpot is to wrap your chicken in tinfoil and cook always comes out moist

Mine is a dessert. Chop up a fresh pineapple into good sized chunks. Throw in any other fruit you have, even dried apricots is great. Add a tiny dash of red wine and a cinnamon stick. Cook for a couple of hours and serve hot with whipped cream or ice cream. (Or better yet, my current favourite: vanilla bean cream).

Hi I mentioned in the 'Slow' message thread, that my root veges never seem to cook even cut in tiny tiny pieces, and had a couple of replys, thanks.Just asking here if anyone has the same problem, because after spending so much money I am wondering if I should take it back as it puts me off using it.Thanks for any comments.

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
