Thought I'd throw one in the pot - so to speak.

Greek lamb with Orzo - Next time I make it, I'll add some piccies.

Please Do! I had no idea what Orzo was until i Googled it. It does sound nice

Two meals from the slow cooker....

meal 1: Lamb shoulder fillet cooked in a plum sauce for about 8 or 9 hours, with some plain boilable noodles noodles. (terrible photo)



meal 2:

Started like this - shoudler of pork, bottles or two of BBQ sauce and a few onions....



And ended up like this - served as hot pork cobs, jacket spuds and corn on the cob.



Slow cooking rules!

Lamb Shanks all done.



Strained the veggies from the liquid in the cooker, removed most of the fat and reduced it in a pan (thickened with a little butter) and served on Garlic Puree'd Cauliflower and some nice cabbage..(As we're doing low carb)

Nom Nom Nom...




Am absolutely stuffed now

Looks awesome juice, good effort. And seems pretty easy too!

I think that has convinced me to get one, they are only £10 on offer in Tescos!

Excellent work Juice

Bermuda is basically, sodding expensive for pretty much everything...except meat. Those puppies were $5.99 a lb (3.70 GBP a lb). I'd not buy them at 10 quid - that's taking the piss quite frankly.

Thank god for that...I knew things were expensive in the UK but 10 quid for a lamb shank !

for the pull pork recipe alone.. I love this place i'm having the left overs in wraps today a la hoisin duck pancake style :yummy:

Going back to doing a whole chicken, i'm working a 12hr nightshift tonight. Is 12hrs too long to cook the chicken for? I was planning on putting it in solo, no liquid and not pre-heating the cooker at all. Wil this be ok?

[Dan_1981]

Not sure.... But if it is buy a timer for the wall socket I got one for £2 from the supermarket then u can have the cooker turn just when you want.

I've done this too.

Pulled pork - fat side up or down?

Anyway to tune the fat crackling like afterwards? I was left with a soggy lump

Someone was discussing using a slow cooker as a sous vide earlier on, I'm not sure how you've done with it but this might be of interest:
