Lol nic... sounds like a disaster!!! WELL I had roast tonight. I cooked it in the fry pan too i'm so proud of myself.. I put it in with half a cup of water and just made sure that it didnt go dry (the water i mean) put it on at 2pm on low.. and let it cook till 5.30.. did potatoes.. they turned out perfect.. AND made my own gravy with the juices left in the pan!! Thanks for your advice girls dp absolutely LOVED it
