would u recommend cooking on low or high?
Hi Renee! I usually cook on low for 6 hours, but you can also cook on high for 4 hours. Thanks for visiting!
I can’t wait to try this! Yum!
Slow cooker recipes are the best!
This looks so yummy!
Hi,
I’m from the Netherlands, Europe and we do have a slowcooker but we can’t buy liners cos they don’t sell them here! Can i use aluminum foil in place of the liner? Or baking paper?
Thanks in advance for answering.
Have a great day and i hope the weather’s nice where you are cos here it is.
Till next time.
Hi Marja! Can you spray your slow cooker with a cooking oil spray or brush it with some oil instead? I would not use foil or paper. The slow cooker liners are made of a special plastic. I hope this helps!
Mmmm, this looks so good. I saw a similar recipe using unpeeled cut up chunks in an Instapot, since I don’t have one of those, I wondered if your recipe would work with unpeeled chunks.
Yes, it sure would! Thanks for visiting Barbara!
