Beer can chicken. Take the top off the beer with a can opener. Drink half.
Insert the rest, still in can up the chook's 'cavity' and position upright in oven.
Cool normally. |

No exciting recipes, just a tip - root vegetables take ages in a slow cooker, so cut them small and have more liquid than you think you need for stews. |

"it's great after a long 12 hour day at work to come home and smell that nice smell of stew or curry filling the kitchen,a single guys dream is a slow cooker on autumn/winter nights!. "
Thats actually the main reason I dont like using one - that nice smell of stew of curry seems to last for days and i cant get rid of the smell  |

It can save you a lot of money too. You can get a rolled lamb breast for less than two quid and that can serve a few people. Same with cheap stewing steak, so long as its more meat than anything else. have fun with that |

I love the new one that's got an aluminium lot so you can use it on the hob to brown things first then straight on to cook slow. I'm gonna invest in a new one this month and that's the one I'm going for!! |

"For us shiftworkers they are just life savers. Our two faves are minted lamb and pork in cider with sage dumplings. Nom nom

Never thought about sage in dumplings. I usually use horseradish or thyme but sage sounds nice |

Browning the meat thne slow works or us.
Pork, Peppers and tomatoes
Chorizo and chicken
On a beef stew throw a thinly diced lemon peel, rosemary and raw garlic on when serving. |

I stick anything in mine and wouldnt be without it.
The best thing is....you can buy the cheaper cuts of meat and this thing will tenderise it beautifully.
great for curries too  |
