Beefstew cooked in red wine, potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms, delicious especially if you have some left over the day after, even better.

Put all your Indian spices in there and some chuck beef, add onions garlic and some coconut cream, let it just slow cook for hours to give an intense flavour that is stunning ..

Pork joint, 500ml of cola.

Low heat for 4/5 hours.

Take it out, pull apart, whack it back in for an hour with some BBQ sauce on high.

Devour.

Tagine. Lovely lovely lamb tagine.

Does it do pressure cooking as well? Pressure cooked pot roast lemon and herb chicken is a lot nicer than you'd think.

I was given this book when I got a slow cooker a couple of years ago. Not made anything like half the recipes yet, but all those I’ve used have been top-notch delicious. Boeuf bourguignon one of my favourites. Highly recommended.

Doesn't do pressure cooking ... cheap and cheerful Argos jobby. Tagine is something I'm keen to have a bash at

I've used these recipes for a lamb and a vegan chickpea tagine:

Both are delicious.

Steamed pudding

Try cooking a whole chicken a roast dinner you can put on leave it, go out come back and enjoy.

Can even do a full English in one.

You just need to search the net I'm sure, you can pretty much cook anything in a slow cooker, someone I used to work with used to do a roast dinner in hers, layering the vegetables around the chicken or joint of meat in the centre, with spuds on top I think.. shed put it on before work and would be perfect by dinner time apparently.

I know it's not technically a roast, but I doubt any of us do a real roast in front of an open fire, we actually bake it, not roast it.

I usually just do stews in mine when I use it - the slow cooked pulled pork works well, must remember the cola next time, nice to try that (and cola has to have rum or whiskey in it of course)
