boneless lamb shoulder rolled -do I take the string off before cooking in slow cooker

[RhiChiChi]

When I use the SC to roast I usually rub stuff onto the skin then sit the meat on top of an upside down saucer otherwise it seems to sit in it's own juices and it's casseroled as much as roasted. Some people use rolled up balls of tin foil to keep their meat out of the juice but they gross me out.

This is what I do. My sc seems to make steam, which then falls on the bottom & I use it for gravy.....

I don't do my veg in the slow cooker, I use my oven

I usually use my oven for veges too because I love crunchy roast potatoes.
If I do use my SC I usually chuck them in about 1 or 2 hours before we eat. Depending on how large they are and whether I have it on high or low.
