I will try some sage leaves or something next time, although must admit - with the butter on potatoes it was actually quite nice... I had 3rds and there's even some left over for tomorrow

Re: Slow cookers/crock pots

That looks really good Azz and its the sort of meal I make in mine. Have found it does need more seasoning when cooked in slow cooker........

Re: Slow cookers/crock pots

What kind of seasoning do you use Merz? What's your fave slow-cooker recipe?

Anyone have any good recipes? Are the electric ones 'ok'/safe?
I have brand new one I have never used as I got one years ago when I was working all day and late, it never once cooked the food through for me!! So now I just put mine in a casserole in the oven on a very low heat and come back to it when I want to eat, it also warms the kitchen as well!!

Sorry for late reply Azz-not been ignoring you, honestly!

It depends on what I'm cooking Azz. I've used bay leaves, chives, ginger, garlic etc. as seasoning.

My favourite meal done in slow-cooker is chilli. Have a recipe for it somewhere-will see if I can find it for you Azz...
