Hi ladies

I just purchased a slow cooker yesterday, Sunbeam 5.5 litre and I'm very excited, however I have no idea how to use it!

I want to do a lamb roast in it tomorrow, I've been reading that it's best to pop the roast up on something like potatoes in the bottom.

Only thing is I leave for work at 8:30 and don't get home til just after 5. Will the potatoes be burnt by then and is that too long to leave the roast in for??

Please help me!
Thanks!!
