i've got a recipe for the whining dog over the back fence.

ooh yeah, We've got a great recipe for corned beef cooked in ginger beer. Just throw some onions and carrots in with it, et voila!

we had a lovely beef brisket curry cooked in it yesterday, too. All curries are considerably improved by slow cooking.

got one for christmas. tasty and damn convenient. good for making curries with a jar of curry paste. Had osso bucco last night. I'm a shit cook, so no recipes from me.

there's a winter recipies thread with a bunch of stuff that should be done in slow cookers...

yeah, just looking at that now foxus...
got some books at work too, but the recipes just seem so shit.
might have to come up with some on my own...

good for tagines too. slow cookers rock.

yep.
not really for terrines though.
not at all.

also, there is an amazing looking 'cook for 7 hours' type roast lamb leg in the stephanie alexander cook's companion. i want to get a slow cooker so i can attempt it.

All curries are considerably improved by slow cooking.

yep, definitely the way to go for curries. they turn out so good it's crazy!

Mrs Looch is the expert on this slow cooked business.........

how crazy exactly?
i'm easily startled.

Christ that sounds nice.

Agreed - I try to cook my curries for > 4 hours.

I don't have one of those slow cooker machiney thingies, I just like cooking certain foods slowly at low temperature.

for example, yesterday I made beef stroganoff - I bought gravy beef, cut out as much visible fat as I could, brown it in my Creuset french casserole dish (enamelled cast iron), then cooked it on low heat for about 2 hours, adding a cup of water every 10 or 15 minutes. During this time, the connective tissue is broken down and the meat becomes fall-apart soft and tasty as. I then added onions and mushrooms, some port, and then thickened with a bit of flour in water, finally at the end adding evaporated milk (the recipe usually calls for sour cream, but I often substitute evaporated milk (only 1.6% fat) in recipes instead of cream or sour cream).

Was absolutely gorgeous, if I may say so myself

oh, and served with rice and steamed broccoli

also I cook a lamb leg roast for about 5 hours in white wine, garlic, lemon juice and herbs, covered, at 100oC, then uncovering for the last hour or so for it to brown.

yummmmmm

and roast tomatoes down for 2 hours at 100oC, after drizzling with balsamic vinegar and some castor sugar

highly recommended

Creuset french casserole dish

TURNS GREEN WITH ENVY

it is so fantastic adam, I love it. you can even cook a lamp roast in it on the stove top (I had to do this a little while ago when I blew up my oven)

aldi is selling creuset french casserole dish ripoffs for like $40 this week, i got one yesterday.

sweet!

yeah, i usually slow cook stuff without a slow cooker, but get worried about leaving gas stoves and stuff on in the house when no one's home, so i think my new device will make me feel better about that.

brown it in my Creuset french casserole dish (enamelled cast iron)

i have been trying for a year to find something like this.
my mum has some, but won't give up any...
we went asking around markets and shops a few weeks ago to no avail.
very hard to get hold of.

interesting. 6 hours on low does seem very short though..

gonna try a kanga curry tomorrow

It's going off now. Will make a good dinner tonight but yeah that recipe was fucked. Oh well...my good run was gonna end eventually.

I need a good recipe for a stew or something. Used our slow cooker last week for the first time and the finished product (a curry) was quite underwhelming, but I'm thinking it was just a shit recipe.

Do people generally brown the meat first?

Do people generally brown the meat first?

definitely. i'd do the same with shrooms and onions too if you were using either ingredient

I'm making goulash! bam.

a slow cooker is top on my list of appliances to buy,

Those slow cook machines bite dick. French enameled cast iron Casserole ftw.

Slow cookers suck every last nutrient from every morsel of food that's cooked on them.

how pathetic must one's life be when all you've got going for ya is hating on ways to cook.

enjoy your 2min noodles.

How difficult it must be to navigate reality whe the carnival between your ears constantly perceives reality as optional.

this nak-si's a gold medal contender.

enjoy your 2min noodle

fixed

Somewhere, someplace your senseless posts aren't redundant.

13mins and you still couldn't figure it out. i withdraw my last statement.

Still smirking at private joke nobody else comprehends? And you don't surf, you're not from Sydney & you were born & raised in the boondocks. Sorry to hear about it.

Also, woolfat you rube, go back to where you came from, drone!

no i've finished. agreed that you're lack of comprehension is the funny bit though.

trolls really need to get their acts together. i mean, google man! it's right there.. all your other knowledge comes from it so the least you could do is look shit up. being antagonistic for the sake of it is boring, fair enough if you're entertaining yourself, (sad much), but you could at least try and sharpen the wit for the rest of us.

eat a dick.

80saftershave is Peter

yeah, i figured as much.
