I'm totally paranoid! I worry anyway when I leave her

It's slow cooker season

We've got ours from 1980 when we got married. Orange, hideous but still makes the best meals ever. Why change it?

Ermmmmm. Well.

Yes.

I see. And does she have a name?

Susie. She stands beside Hattie the halogen and Julie the juicer. I wish this wasn't true. Snorting.

At my old place, we'd named a couple of things in the office. Mainly because it's easier to get annoyed with something if it has a name.

I'm going to make some pease pudding today in mine.

Lack of stotties may be a problem like.

It all started with my kids naming house plants, I have a Francesca, Bart,Shelley, Harriet and a Lorraine. Then it went on to those stuffed veg toys from ikea, kev and Keith the carrots etc. I can't remember the name of the broccoli unfortunately and it makes me feel bad! Bonkers.

Had a honey chicken with peppers & onions thing last night in the Instant Pot. Tremendous.

Starting to get the hang about how long to cook and how much fluid to use. Its doesnt loose water like a slow cooker, so you have to add far less liquids. And we've noticed how much nicer chicken is if its not overcooked. Of course, hard to know when it is cooked when its inside a sealed container.
Also, the saute function before you start helps to brown things off as you add them.

I'm fully converted - slow cookers have been surpassed!

[pfoz88]

this is the list of ingredients

• About 1.5kg shin of beef, on or off the bone, cut into 2cm-thick slices

• • salt and freshly ground black pepper

• • 2 thumb-sized pieces of root ginger, peeled and sliced as thick as 10p pieces

• • 1 Hungarian hot wax chilli and 1 jalapeno chilli (or any 2 medium-hot fresh or dried chillies) deseeded and sliced

• • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

• • 3 tbsp redcurrant jelly

• • 2 tbsp cider vinegar

• • about 500ml unsweetened apple juice

• • 150ml soy sauce

I shall give this a go at the weekend, sounds lush. How does shin compare pricewise out of interest, to regular diced casserole type bee (bout 10-12£ a kilo i think).
