Any slow cooker recipes would be appreciated  |
Beef stew, broth, soup, chilli-con-carne and bean casseroles(for vegetarian son)
Things that need long cooking are fine for slow cooking, with the added advantage that cheap meat cuts come out tender. The main thing to remember with slow cooking is that no liquid gets steamed off, so if you put too much liquid in you are stuck with it. Another tip - put the meat at the bottom below the veg so that it gets more of the heat.
I have googled this website for you
