Last week I overcooked some Silverside to the point of being inedible really...so I'll try again.
I want to use my crockpot and the Silverside is 1.4k.
Would appreciate any advice as I don't want another failure.I just put Golden Syrup over the meat and put carrots in as well.Can't remember now whether or not I added any water.
But it's the time factor I'm most interested in.Thx all

Yes you would need to add water. In l/h message board put silverside then date posted put anytime. Heaps of helpful hints there.

Yep - posted 'anytime' but no sign of cooking times.I just do NOT want another overcooked dinner...

How long DID you cook it for?I think the problem was most likely the lack of water - not the length of cooking time - it would be pretty hard to seriously overcook silverside in a slow cooker - unless you left water out! 10 hours would be fine - 12 even - in a slow cooker.I usually do mine on the stove top 2-3 hours.

Put silverside in crockpot add a lemon (nothing else) - turn on to low for the day - yummy.

I have an idea I cooked it on high for probably over 7 hours ... normally I cook on slow only.So today I've just put it on, covered it with water and put in some Golden Syrup and a couple of carrots ... so I'll take it out around 10 tonight.(Only looking to have it cold).

I always three quater cover my silverside with water, add a tablespoon of honey, one of golden syrup and a splash of vinegar.I start it off on high for a couple of hours and turn to low and cook for a further 4 hours or until a fork poked into it meets no resistance, slides in and out easily.Its always melt in your mouth tender.

No matter what size I cook my SS in a crokpot all day (low) with a 1.5ltr bottle of ginger-ale. The 0.99c bottle from P'N'S.You'll never cook SS any other way again! Good luck!

Because silverside was on special last week I bought a large one (no idea of kg etc - just enough to feed my family of 8).Put it in the crockpot on high for the first hour, covered with water, a good splash of vinegar and dollop of golden syrup and an onion - used later in a cheesey/mustardy cream sauce - and the next 6 or 7 hours on low heat.It was sublime ... kids raved, all devoured and barely enough for a sandwich the next day (darn it).

I put my silverside on low and cook it for 6 hours. Falls apart every time, so yum.

I cover mine with water, add a partially cut through lemon, 3 bay leaves, a tablespoon of brown sugar and dollop of golden syrup. 5 hours on high then 3 hours on low, although I guess you could do 4/4 - always turns out perfect, and the lemon addition gives it a little subtle zing. Serve with mashed potatoes and mustard sauce out of the Edmonds Cook Book with extra mustard!!
