I am absolutely loving my new Slow Cooking cookbook given to me by MF yesterday. The recipes look a lot more innovative than Sally Wise who seems to use chutney in every dish.
Maybe I will get more confident. Judy gave me a 'you beaut' recipe for pickled pork and it ws delish. So fa r I have had about 3 wins and 2 not so good.
I think my problem is that we have our main meal at lunch time so it does not leave a long enough time. Now when I get up for my early morning, ie 0430, pit stop I turn the thing on.
You an teach an old dog new tricks!

Good to see the win/loss ratio is increasing for the wins Gretchen - you had me a bit worried there for a moment and I thought the SC would be pushed to the back of the cupboard and be retired.

Here is the pic of the pickled pork. It only shrunk about 200 gms after 8 hours. Yup Judy you know I never give up on anything until I can do it right. I then may get bored and never do it again like the macaroons

BWAAAAAAAAA ! I don't know what I am doing wrong. I followed the wonderful Osso Buco recipe From the book MF gave me. It was delicious BUT the meat was dry and nasty.i It was not falling off the bone . I fact I had to get a steak knife to hack at it. The vegetables were perfect the sauce was perfect. The whole thing looked perfect but the meat was crap. I cooked it for nearly 7 hours on low. It smelled delicious. It tasted delicious but I have never cooked such bad nasty horrible meat. The bolar blade I cooked earlier was the same. Please tell me it is the beef and not me. The Osso buco came from a local wholesale butchery that supplies local restaurants. Well that may be a clue as there are about two good restaurants in Cairns.
I have four more osso bucco in the freezer and some beef ribs I now am afraid to cook in the damn slow cooker. I am never going to the shopping thread again. Well not until I master this thing.
I fail to see how it could have been any better if I had cooked it for 12 hours. The marrow was perfect.
Not happy Gert

I dont understand either, slow cooked meat falls off the bone
Did you brown it, not that it would make a difference.

Yes I did . Dusted in flour, three mi tues each side into the pot as per recipe. The sauce was thick and rich and yummy . Very unhappy I am.

I've never had that happen Gert. Maybe it was the meat.

Only way to check...try an entirely different meat Gert...here's hoping it is the meat and not the cooker.
