hi ladies - thought i might jump in here seeing we got a slow cooker for Christmas! have looked at the recipe list and some of them look really good - have a quick question though - most things only seem to need 6 hours on low - the comment we got with the SC was that i could cook while i was at work - but i leave at 7 get home at 5 or thereabouts - provided i don't need to do any thing after work.
does anyone have any favourites that take that long to cook?
is it worth cooking over night (or when i get home from work) for the next day?
i have never used anything like the SC, NEVER eat dinner til late (prolly half 7-8) so realistically, it would be 12 hours of cooking if i set it going before work (plus i'd have to drag my sorry butt out of bed earlier than i do now - and even that is a struggle!) - i assume food reheats pretty well after slow cooking it...
hi BG in my experience most sc meals taste better if you leave them on the long side - deeper flavours and the meat melts in your mouth. I usually leave mine in for about 8-10 hours if I am doing lamb shanks or osso bucco and cheaper cuts of meat. HTH
