Slow cooker recipes

Let the slow cooker do the hard work with our collection of delicious recipes, including juicy pulled pork, rich beef ragu, puds and vegan ideas. The slow cooker is coming back into vogue, due to its ease and cost-efficiency. And with the promise of hearty stews and succulent roasts, it’s easy to see why.

There’s so much to be said for a set-it-and-forget-it dinner, as these meltingly tender recipes show. Minimal effort and maximum flavour is the name of the game. Try a slow-cooked shepherd’s pie, beef shin ragù or a lamb stew with potatoes. For something a bit different, this red wine infused beef short rib and bean stew is a brilliant option.

And if you’re a fan of a kitchen gadget, have you thought about investing in an air fryer?
