cheers david - can see I am going to have some fun with this ingredient which is new to me. I have some lamb shanks and have just bought a new Bacarat roast pan so might give that a try. It has a thingee on the bottom of the pan - you can put it on the element to brown the meat and then put it in the oven -saves using another pan and all the goodies dont get left behind
