Several months ago my parents forced a largeish slow cooker on me. (Mum thought it was takign up to much space in her kitchen). Only in the last couple of weeks have i got round to using it. First thing did was bbq ribs inspired by http://www.slashfood.com/2006/01/23/slow-cooked-baby-back-ribs-and-homemade-bbq-sauce/ i of course did my own sauce. much liek the one ive mentioned before http://thegestalt.org/london.food/archives/2006/01/17/4336bec4.html with a couple of additions. soem honey, soem garlic puree, tomato puree, chilli powder, paprika. i actually put in alot more chilli than i had intended so added soem more sugar to balance it out. i actually turned the ribs over every so often just to make sure they all got covered in sauce. they were very tasty. melt in the mouth. last weekend i did a chilli following my normal recipe. the use of the slow cooker didnt really seem to make the flavour any different. less messy since it doesnt spurt everywhere but i used more pans. Adam has suggested the the slow cooker would be better if i used real bits of meat instead of mince like in a proper texan chilli http://www.slashfood.com/2006/02/04/real-texas-chili-is-a-bowl-of-red/ i might try that this weekend. Anyone have any suggestions for any thing else to do with my slow cooker. -- Bob Walker http://www.randomness.org.uk/ watch out for the attack armadillos!
