First time slow cooker user, absolutely delicious, used 5 large lamb shanks and whole can Guiness, was worried might need thickening but it didn't, used kitchen roll to soak up some of the fat when cooked, turned it off after 9 hours on high as meat falling of bone, will definately be making this again. Served with garlic mashed potato gratin and veg...........scrumptious !!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks :)Reply
