It is the start of the autumn boating season. A time we both love on the water as the summer boaters start to lock up for the winter and the waterways become just that bit quieter.
The slow cooker was brought back into use yesterday which filled the boat with the smell of a lovely pork loin joint cooking away with some home grown new potatoes throughout the day. As the night closed in and the rain pattered on the canopies we enjoyed our first slow cooked meal onboard of this autumn and looked forward to the weeks ahead.
Ah. I've been waiting for you to mention your slow cooker again. Do you seal/brown your meat before you put it in the slow cooker? If you don't does it colour up OK? I tried without browning and the end result looked a bit insipid and unappetising.
ReplyDeleteNo Browning. Just lobbed it in the slow cooker with some spices on top.
ReplyDeleteOur slow cooker is quite high powered so it does brown the meat and veg a little better then our old one.
