MPORTANT
When buying a joint of meat, make
s
ure that it will fit into the crock pot
so that when it is covered with
liquid it will still be 2.5cm below the
r
im of the pot. The joint must not
stick out above the rim and there
s
hould be enough room to cover the
meat with water. The shape of the
m
eat is just as important as the
weight.
