I rub the bolar roast in a packet of Maggi Oxtail soup mix, put it in the crockpot (NO liquid added) before I leave for work (8am) and it's done when I get home at 6pm. Make gravy out of the juices that have formed. Delicious!

Okay I've just brought a slow cooker after being tempted with the threads on it. Now I'm totally novice with it so, will I still need to coat the meat in flour? I like my roasts done this way but not sure if it gives similar results. Can someone enlighten me please.

fruit luva i use my C/P a lot in winter and if i am doing a beef, hogget, lamb, roast i rub a little oil all over the meat then a little crushed garlic salt and pepper, then pop it in a hot frying pan and brown the meat all over just keep turning it till it browns up this seals in the flavours. Put it in your crock pot and drizzle a little balsamic vinegar over it, NO water and cook. When done lift it out, cover with tin foiland make a gravy with the left over juices, you will have a nice tender piece of meat. Your way of coating the meat with flour and seasonings etc then brown it in a hot pan with about 1 tablespoon of oil, should work think it will give it a nice coating. I toss meat in flour if making a stew etc and always brown everything before cooking as i feel this gives it added flavour other wise it can be a bit bland and tasteless. Everyone has different ways i don't like vegs cooked with my roast as i like them crispy so do them in the oven, and always do the roast pork in the oven for the crackling to but others love their pork in the C/P suggest you try things, hope this helps...

with corned beef you need to make sure you carve it the right way. it should come out shiney rather than strings

It doesn't seal anything. It browns it to add flavour. Like using the brown stuck bits on the bottom of your pan to make gravy. Chefs should be shot for starting that "seal" business.

One of my fav things to do in the crock pot is......dried fruit.Especially nice for breakfast or as a dessert.I use dried apricots, prunes, sultanas, sliced cored & un-peeled fresh apple, dates then cover with water & crock pot away!You can add whatever dried fruits you like.Also mixed spices may be added or spices of your choice.Enjoy!Serve with custard or ice cream for dessert.Have for breakfast on it's own or with porridge.

Whats your favourite thing to cook in a crockpot?? It had better be the Pea and Ham Soup fromAllyson Grofton's book, Slow. I got a 5l crockpot and Allyson's book in a good deal (I think) at Noel Leemings a week or so ago. Got it simmering away overnight, so can cool and freeze some in the morning. I'll let you know!
Bread -as from now on. Out of curiosity i did my first loaf last night and am suitably impressed. Ever so easy and quciker than in the breadmaker.

Lamb shanks. and my slow cooker smell doesn't worry me. I turn on the extractor fan, which goes out onto the driveway side of the house. Neighbour often says... wow what are you having for dinner tho.
