Ham Hock soup - I use bacon or ham hock plus barley and add grated and chopped assorted veges, plenty of pumpkin (which I put in in chunks and smooosh later when it's cooked).Fill with water and cook for about 6-8hrs on high.No need to do the soup in two different stages, bung it all in and away you go.Once cooked and cooled, remove any fat that may have set,break up hock meat, mash veges a bit.Hearty and delicious and absolutely no hassle.Make it every week every winter and have for my lunches.

No I hadn't seen that though I do have a fair bit in the cupboard and don't do it allot as I could get a bit pudgy on it ;) heres my recipe which I got off the net a few years ago its the easiest I have ever seen.
4 cups milk
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup small pearl tapioca
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp Vanilla essence

DIRECTIONS
1.Stir together the milk, sugar, tapioca, and eggs in a slow cooker. Cover, and cook on Medium for 3 hours, or on Low for 6 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve warm.
Very nice with some fruit and a bit of icecream, leftovers are nice served cold the next day

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!
ballito, Jun 29, 11:53pm
Thanks beaker59.Will try that this weekend.Just love tapioca.

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.

Zappi, you are a little ripper. I have been looking every where for this recipe, I used to make it often when the kids were at home, and I thought I would try it when my grandies come tomorrow.
thank you, thank, you thank you,

I have cooked Corned beef in the slow cooker a couple of times BUT it always comes out stringy, what am I doing wrong.!
tinkagirl, Jun 30, 1:33am
self saucing chocolate pudding and mac and cheese.not at the same time of course hahaha
tipsy_bl0nde, Jul 3, 8:58pm
with corned beef you need to make sure you carve it the right way. it should come out shiney rather than strings
lythande1, Jul 3, 9:25pm
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.

Hi there, I've bought Simon and Allison Holst's new Slow Cooker receipe book,All the receipes are fantastic and super tasty and easy.However I do like cooking Corned Beef in my slow cooker, its so tasty and tender.I cook it in Ginger Beer 750ml and up to 2Litres of water, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 3 teaspoons of crushed garlic.On Low for about 8 hours.Yummy!Sauce is 3 tablespoons of flour, 3 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of liquid from meat.
