Answer 2

You do not say very much about your tastes but really the slo-cooker is the best thing since sliced bread! I even have my mother converted and now she is trying to convert her friends! If only it was so easy to convert her to other things like giving up the booze! New Year she wanted to play Scrabble at 1.00 am!

Anyway. I guess that is what you got for Christmas (who ever got you that should be knighted - or damed!) so here goes.

There is so much you can do in it.

First you need to heat it up so turn it on high while it is empty.
While that is happening (about 20 minutes) quickly fry off the meat to give it some sealing and colour - I believe it really does make the difference.

Chop up the vegetables you are going to use in fairly large chunks ie not finely diced. The idea is to put the hardest veg in first - ie carrots, onions, turnips, then put the slightly softer vegetables on top. Then finally the soft veg ie tomatoes, mushrooms, peas etc.

Put the meat on top and then make or buy a stock of your choice and adjust anything you like wine etc. \However the secret is not to put much liquid in - about a third of what you would normally do.
Do not worry, the veg and meat will produce their own juices adding to the flavour and amount of juice.

Put on high for as long as you can and then turn it to slow when you go out and just leave it.

Do not be tempted to stir or look because then the cooker loses heat and it takes longer to get back to temperature. This also is not good for the food.

If you find the meat is done but you are not ready to eat, turn it to auto which keeps it hot but stops cooking.

Enjoy it!

Answer 4

Southwestern Pulled Brisket Sandwiches

3 pounds beef brisket
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 Spanish onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, with their juices
2 whole canned chipotle chiles en adobo
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons molasses
Soft sandwich buns
Pickled jalapenos

Season the beef generously with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat just until beginning to smoke. Add the meat and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes total. Transfer the meat to the slow cooker; leave the skillet on the heat.
Add garlic, onion, chili powder, coriander, and cumin to drippings in the skillet and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add vinegar and boil until it's almost gone, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in water and pour the mixture over the brisket. Crush the tomatoes through your fingers into the slow cooker; add the tomato juices, chipotles, bay leaves, and molasses. Cover the cooker, set it on LOW, and cook the brisket until it pulls apart easily with a fork, about 8 hours.

To serve, leave the meat in the slow cooker and use 2 forks to pull it apart and stir it evenly into the sauce; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove and discard bay leaves. Pile the meat on sandwich buns and serve with jalapenos. (This is also great rolled up in tortillas.)
