I would love to know aswell especially the slow cooker ones as My parents have a convection oven and cook beautiful roast in that!

Ok I've just merged a few threads for some extra inspiration I'll be back to post more later!

I make my lamb in the slow cooker.
I get a leg that will fit in and rub it with a bit of salt and then sprinkle some rosemary over it. Sometimes i use garlic too.
The cooking time depends on whether I chuck it in from frozen and also if I have it on high or low. I tend to just play it by instinct - if it looks like it's cooking too fast I turn it down and if it seems too slow I turn it up.
For my veges I start by buying a potatoe variety that roasts well and I parboil it just a tiny bit then I chuck them in with the rest of my veges with lots of olive oil at about 180 and give it an extra zap at a higher temp right at the end to crisp the potatoes up.
I find that SC juices make extra yummy gravy.

Thanks Cai, that's terrific! Better than people having to type out what they may have already in the past!

Now I'll have to go and read it all! For those that use electric frypans, do you prefer the non-stick or stainless steel ones? Does it make a difference (aside from the cleaning aspect)? I don't have one, and am thinking of getting one to keep the kitchen cooler, and also to keep the littlies away from the hot oven door.

I'm trying to become a Domestic Goddess, and I want the Sunday Roast to be a part of my repertoire.
