I bought a Common & Garden 2kg pork leg from Sainsbury's and followed this recipe

It turned out epic. Really, really crispy crackling and fall-apart pork. Turned out way better than roasting it, in fact I'll be doing it this way going forward !
The "hot finish" slow cooking technique. It's great. I make pork (with crackling) and shoulder of lamb this way. https://witness.theguardian.com/assignment/52f49c1...

the lamb is stunning: super soft inside, crisp well browned exterior

I made a home made kebab in the slow cooker..... was amazed at how good it actually was!
Have you got a recipe for this, looks yum! 1.5tsp cayenne pepper
1.5tsp garlic powder
1tsp black pepper
1tsp mixed herbs
1tsp oregano
1tsp salt
Mix it all together by hand, modge the mince up, knead it all together and form it into a ball / loaf
I then wrapped in foil and just put it on the bottom of the slow cooker - I did about 6 hours on high.
Once done took it out n wrapped in different foil n let it rest for 15 min

any stock or water?
Nope completely dry - just sat on the bottom of the slow cooker. By the time it's finished the mince will have leaked some fat out, but nothing major.
Whole new approach to slow cooking for me.

The crackling was epic, however as nice as the pork was and it tasted great, when carving it just fell apart, it would have been nice to get proper slices.

What cut did you use? lean cuts will tighten/toughen up rather than break down, or perhaps you simply didn't give it long enough.
Guessing you used braising or stewing steak they sell in supermarket packets? I did the same yesterday and they ended up like bullets.The best cut to use is shin off the butchers counter or alternatively chop up a lump of brisket.
You just add the plug to the app on your phone and switch it on remotely.

OK picked up my new slow cooker today and put it together. Is the lid supposed to sit flush all the way around? It seems to sit on the narrowest part of the lid in the middle and the widest part (left and right on the pic) sits a little proud so it rocks back and forth a tiny bit, to the point I can slide a sheet of paper between the gap. Once going I assume the steam condensing on the lid will fill the well creating a seal.https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00888ZZD8/ref...

Wouldnt worryIts a slow cooker, not a Pressure cooker. - help cook off some of the liquid.
