Emski Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Xmas is coming (so I've heard) and v much considering a slow cooker present for me other half. Any further brands to recommend? Is 3.5l the right size for family of 4? And, most importantly, would it be right for pulled pork?! Also any good books? He's an adventurous cook so would like some recipes beyond the basics.

kristymac1 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I only use mine for pulled pork, shredded beef, lamb etc. Marinate meat overnight , brown off in the morning and slow cook all day... I'd love to be more adventurous, great thread x Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/50018-to-slow-cooker-or-not-to-slow-cooker/page/2/#findComment-930730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariamadeit Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 www.slowcookercentral.com is fab too! I would recommend getting one with the inner that can go on the hob to brown meat if you want to and can go in oven to finish off dumplings etc. Slow cooker is much more economical than having the oven on all day and can be safely left on whilst you go out.

LouLouMoving Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I wish I had bought one that you can use on the gas hob (to brown onions etc) then move over to slow cooking part. I tend to make batches of a certain recipe and freeze the rest. It's good for making sure you know you'll have a meal to come home to!

kittysailing Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Im a slow cooker fan - we call it the magic pot - walk in after a hard days work and dinner is done! The absolute key is TO THICKEN at the end you need to make a butter and flour roux or mix a bit of corn flower with water and stir in before serving. Also I throw a handful of barrley in most stews as the absorb water and thincken things up.
