Wash tatties, dry them, stab them with a fork. Rub with some oil, sprinkle with salt, wrap in foil. Wang them in the slow cooker for about 5 hours on high *. Or longer on low if you put them in early enough LOL.

* Depends on size / quantity of potato.
Thanks. I'll try that.

It's useful if you fancy a jacket spud and don't want to fire up the oven.

That was an internet pic, here is the actual one bought in a charity shop for a quid , we were trying to buy minced chicken and no one had any so we did it ourselves.

Probably because chicken doesn't have the right structure to mince well.

A general mincing tip is to run a slice of white bread through at the end of a session - it does a decent job of cleaning the mincer's internals.

You are correct, a butcher said he would do it the next day, but he had just cleaned his machine and didn't want to do it again. As luck would have it the charity shop that had the mincer was next door to the butchers shop. I knew that about the bread, my nan used to do that.

I got a Remoska for the motorhome but it now lives in the house. Baked potatoes or chips initially microwave for a couple of minutes then spray on some oil and bake for 30 to 60 mins. Pizza 15 minutes. Meat of any kind and also fish,wrap in foil with any thing else you fancy and leave about one hour. I use a foil pie dish before wrapping to seal in the steam. If you want the top browned just take off the foil half way. You can also do casserole type things and even bake cakes.

Looked at a Remoska for the MH as we now don’t have a proper oven, but figured we wouldn't need it that often. We hardly use the oven at home to be honest. Look a great piece of kit though!
