wash2u: Okay, daughter gave me a Slow Cooker for my birthday (was called a "Crock Pot" when I was a few years younger).
I started cooking at 2pm. When is it going to be done?

Hello wash, aim not a great cook, but I think with them you put them on before you go to work then it cooks all day so when you get home, wa la your dinner is all done,
I through everything in a pot add some sauces and herbs cook for 1/2 hour. That's my slow cooking limit. LOL

You have much to learn without the microwave. If you travel, it does take mauch longer to get the coals ready and to cook a meal.

Hi Wash,
Nature`s spot on the money, leave it going ,add water as needed before bed, give it a stir in the morning, and when you get home it`ll be beautiful, guaranteed.......

Hi Wash...
I have never had a crock pot... so I really cant help you any, but if you are planning to put your crock pot on hot coals... errmmm I think you might blacken the pot... maybe even crack it... ???
Yeah they take a while try this site
think i just read seven or eight hours for a stew or something good site
Today i cranked up the frypan and ended up with lot teflon or whatever the black crap is that's pealing off the pan and sticking to the food i eat. Mouth still tastes awful

Wash if you have it on low, it will be about 8 hours to cook, if its is on high it could be as little as 4 hours.

All good darl, I don't have a microwave now, I know how to use a ( what are they called) ah yer a camp cooker. LOL. Sausage on a stick, spuds in alfoil, heat a can of peas. What more do you need, lol
ITS BEST THING IS TO PUT IT ON LOW FOR 6-8 HRS OR HIGH FOR 4HRS
when cooking in a slow cooker add about half as much liquid as you would in a cassarole or stew otherwise youll end up with soup.

A slow cooker(yes, I recall crock pot days - why 'crock??)is a wonderful invention, and serves you best by turning it on 'auto' in the morning, and you come home later in the day, to fabulous cooking smells and meal prepared ready to eat.
You can literally throw in a whole lot of stuff together, such as chopped meat and range of chunky veges, herbs and always remember enough liquid(such as water or chicken stock, about 2inches deep.
I've even cooked a whole chicken in it. It makes the tenderest stewed lamb shanks imaginable, especially yummy with Moroccan spices. Great for healthy winter meals when you're time strapped.

I was just told that slow cookers are brilliant for cooking silverside tooYou can literally throw in a whole lot of stuff together, such as chopped meat and range of chunky veges, herbs and always remember enough liquid(such as water or chicken stock, about 2inches deep.

wysterious1: I was just told that slow cookers are brilliant for cooking silverside too
Yes, it would be. All that steamy moisture with the slow cooking,
makes meat sooooo tender, which really suits to larger chunks of meat such as silverside, though that's one meat I have never cooked. My ex-father in law, RIP cooked the best I have ever eaten, though I think he used a large pressure cooker.
wysterious1: I was just told that slow cookers are brilliant for cooking silverside too
they certainly do
I was thinking when Wash said about the slow cooker that it was time I cooked some silverside.Put it in first thing in the morning on high for an hour, then turn to low and leave all day. I like to put a lemon in the water when I cook mine, but have also used cloves, or mustard seeds. A little vinegar in the water is good too.
yum!
Whatever I did, it came out good and I have had a couple of good meals so far this week. Forced myself to have something different last night but tonight I will have some more, but with a bit of chilli in it to make it taste a bit different.
I looked up the Crockpot site (it is a registered trade mark BTW) and there is a list a mile long of recipes.
The recipe I followed said to cut up the meat into bite-size pieces, coat in flour and lightly cook in a pan. So I cut it all up, coated it in flour and then thought that I should get the vegies cleaned and cut so it all goes in at once.
Put the cast iron frypan (best thing for cooking) on, bit of oil and added the single lump of meat.
Who remembers what flour and a bit of moisture makes? All glued together.
Eventually got it all separated and done. And then did the onions.
Used a jar of pasta tomato mix plus half a jar of water for the moisture, added all the vegies in the liquid and coated the meat with the onion on top. And added some more water a couple of hours later.
All so simple. After doing it so often back in the 70s, why did it take so long for me to get back to doing it? Only because I was given one.
By a strange coincidence, when I was away 2 weeks ago, Jeannie (our "mother" when we all meet up at Corowa each year) is our #1 kitchen supply coordinator (and I am #2 only because I can carry) went for a wander one day and came back to camp with a slow cooker. What a meal it was and this inspired me to make the time to see what I could do.
So everyone, thanks for your comments and Rob for the link. Looks like Sat mornings will include cooking along with housework. Maybe I will have to drop some of the housework to make sure I can manage the cooking part.
