The Tea Towel Trick
Hi Paulene, wanting to try this out soon. If using frozen vegetables would they need to be in longer? Thanks
Moderately longer but not by a significant amount 🙂
Would this work if I had them on the bottom of slow cooker with a roast on top of veggies?
Yes, they will just cook in the juices of the meat though. Some like to crisp them up briefly in a hot oven at the end when this is the case. I just enjoy them as is from around the roast 🙂
Vegetables were cooked to perfection! Took about 2.5hrs on high setting.
Do the vegetables need to be in a single layer
Then can be layered but just flip/move them during cooking to circulate layers is what I’d do .. and keep them small cut
Awesome … Potato, sweet potato, carrot, onion, zucchini and corn cobs ??
Tried these last night, Very impressed. wasn’t able to lay them in one layer so I just stirred them every now and then, added a chilli and a can of black beans, complete meal 🙂
So easy and such flavour! I cooked these under roast pork and plates were clean. So easy will be my go to now.
Did these under Roast Pork DELICIOUS!!!
LOVED this recipe!!!
This was so easy.
Didn’t have garlic powder so used garlic infused oil instead and sprinkled with the rosemary.
Used 4 1/2 sweet potatoes about 20cm x 6cm, one onion and 2 small potatoes. Halved the onion and put cut side on bottom of sc. Cut sweet potatoes about width of golf ball and put halved potatoes on top.
Cooked 3 hours on high, no stirring as I wasn’t around. Still a bit firm at the 2 3/4 h so added 1 hr low as I had to nip out again.
Perfect with the Clacker Chicken Roast!
