    Jay when Mum cooks it, aye :wink:
  • Just put the slow cooker on overnight... 8 hours of cooking, turn it off when I get up and reheat when I get home.

    Why not turn it on when you get up and leave it to cook all day, that way its warm when you get home.

    I'm not always home at the right time to turn it off... if I do an extra hour or 2 in work it'll stew too long!

    put it on at 11.. I get up at 7 so thats exactly 8 hours :)

    Plus, I have tubbed up the rest and put it in the fridge, shouldn't really put hot things straight into the fridge!


    I went to sainsburies on the way home, got a fresh bread bloomer thing... now i'm sat on the sofa feeling very full.
    That was lush.

    Tumeric, cow parts, potato skins, socks, a few lost teaspoons, a whole bottle of worcestershire sauce, covered in a few cans of minestrone soup, oven for 8 hours and the cat has mysteriously vanished?

  • my dad is of the oven cooked stew variety. he just pops a whole loada stuff into a big casserole dish (might be stoneware) and leaves it in the oven, then sods off to his shed to work for 4 or 5 hours and returns for tea. ours always seems to end up as a big pile of mush in the end thou :/

    get some fresh brown bread too and have it an inch thick with butter and the cheese on top, dipped into the stew

    Top tip leave out water/stock and supplement with Guiness/ale, much better. :lol:

    Better still, leave out water/stock/vegetables/meat, supplement with Guinness and drink it cold. Saves time and electricity and it's good for you. :wink::wink:
  • i love stew so much.

    does anyone eat theirs with a bit of beetroot or pickled red cabbage?

    the stew at home is called lobby and is eaten without, the stew where my bird is from is called scouse and is served with red cabbage.

    We have pickled beetroot or red cabbage with Tata ash, but not with stew.

    I also do an awesome oxtail curry in my slow cooker. The meat just falls off and the tail gives off an awesome gelatinous texture and flavour to the curry.
