slow cooker

[mrsmurphey]

I have been given a tiny 1 litre Team slow cooker. Can anyone help with some recipes, as I have no idea. Many thanks.

In a nutshell.....brown your meat-(not a necessity-but looks better,and can add to flavour),put into slow cooker with seasonings, add a very small amount of liquid,turn on to high for one hour,then continue cooking on medium. I did 4 chicken thighs in mine last night-put them in at 3-3.30-ate at 8pm.
I had a 3.5ltr cooker...when I broke the crock-I fell back on a tiny one that I had....I find the smaller one does a better and much quicker job....maybe because the heat is concentrated more.

It's not that a small cooker does a better job pastafreak, a slow cooker gives a better result if it is full , less flavor lost. So if you are cooking a small amount use a small cooker. Your 3.5 litre one would be great for a large family meal but too small for a few chicken pieces.

Sorry ''too large '' for a few chicken pieces.

I suspect that is what I meant...my brain is still fuzzy.
I used to do a whole chicken (1.2k) in the bigger one.....it was wonderful every time.

Looks like it's not just my brain that is fuzzy... ;-))
