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!!!
