Depending on the size of the gammon joint just chuck in some cider till it covers it 2/3rds

I've been doing stuff on high for an hour to start it off then low for the rest

Lamb today was hour high 4 low and was nommmmmm

I took it out and let it rest in my top oven which was warm from the rest of the roast dinner

Not sure about cooking beef in cider but yes.

This was amazing, chicken fell apart in my mouth.

I'm getting right into this cooking lark, didn't ever do it when I lived with parents.

I've done beer and wine so far.

There's probably nothing to say you can't use cider tbh, I just don't think they'd go, I'm sure someone will correct me, I've only cooked about 3 things

i could put tattie and cornbeef ect in it for a nice hearty hotpot?

would ideally like to do a few meals worth at a time, could the said food then be refridgerated and reheated in a mic?

Not sure if you are taking the piss or not now

That was a microwave packet thing. Normally I just do it in a pan.

You can actually get rice cookers for the microwave, we used to have one and does it spot on!

Steaming rice is the best bet but if you're boiling the rice, just pour boiling water over the rice when you've sieved it as that'll stop it sticking together (to some degree anyways). Have heard adding oil to the water (same as you do spag) helps but never tried it.

john-d - Bung the beef joint in on it's own and the use the juices for gravy. Or as John said use red wine, take the beef out when done, reduce (i usually add a little butter, shallots if i have them) the wine until it's a bit like syrup and you have a red wine sauce.
