Thanks very much for the recipe. Everything turned out fine except for the
potatoes and I did chop them as you said. I will use your recipe again but
I will precook the potatoes just a bit:)

Thanks for your help! I certainly taught me about the volume of liquid it
'didn't' need:)))

Glad it wasn't too bad. Yeah - the slow cooker retains most of the
liquid, so you don't need much. Ive been doing chickens and hams - they
don't need anything, they look very strange, but taste fine :)

===

Aye:) That is what I can't quite get my head round ... cooking with no
liquid:)

I just joined a fb group for Slow Cooking. It's interesting:) They cook
cakes and all sorts in theirs!

Thanks again:)

No.

I just simmer stews in a large saucepan with the lid on.

That is what I have always done. It slow cooker is good though to put it
together early and just leave it. I just need to get the hang of it:)

From reading the recipes online, it appears that the consistency of slow
cooker cakes are rather chocolate brownie-like.

By cakes in a slow cooker, I don’t think we are supposed to think of
victoria sponges.

Probably the same group as me - though I have got a bit fed up with it -
too many recipes use packet mixes (which I'm not keen on) and there seem
to be incessant queries from the US about what gammon is!?!

lol yes I know what you mean. I haven't been there long enough to get too
fed up with it, but what I am fed up with, is the constant emails I get
telling me what people are posting!

I think you can turn off the notifications if they annoy you - there's
usually a tick box at the top of the group page (I think!)

I have been looking but no joy so far:(

I will have to ask my granddaughter. She put me on FB in the first place
and she usually sorts me out. Trouble is I don't get to see her very often.
She is in England and I am in Scotland:(
