Brown the meat off the night before, load it in the crock and leave it in a cool place overnight.

None of the meat needs browning off. It just invariably tastes better if you do.

MC has it right.

Browning gives colour to the meat and juice. Nothing appertising about grey meat. Brown the meat first, it takes minutes. You end up with a much nicer looking dish.

Also, put some liquid in the pan you do the browning in, stir it on heat, til the burnt brown bits mix with the liquid. Pour this in the slow cook. to give a nice colour to the dish.

Sorry about speeeeling.

My two best slow dish meals are

1. 8 hour Lamb bhua mmm it's so dark lovely
2. 8 hour venison
3. Diced beef chilli with choc chip. A delos recipe


Anthony Warrell Thompson has a slow cooking book (we have it it's very good loads of choice)

One of the recipes which transcends the worthy weekday fare which often comes out of slow cookers is a Venison and blue cheese cobbler. Can't just see the recipe online and I've just packed most of our cookbooks for an impending move -but I'll keep looking. Just think rich, slightly sweet, winey, gamey venison casserole with crusty blue cheese scone topping.

...Must dig out that recipe again.

Oh my I want that tonight.
