pleasure,sam.i have cooked brisket this way.it's rather tasty & "fall apart" tender too!!Sound's lovely!! thank's.
Sometimes silverside has been salted (it seems to depend where in the B.Isles you are). If it has been you may need to pre-soak it - ask the butcher who sold it to you.well i'm new here so first hi! lol.
i brought a 2.108kg joint of silverside for one of our Christmas meat's and was wondering if it fine was to do in the slow cooking and how long? thats all.

Welcome to DC, sam.
I had to look up the American translation for silverside. Here it's called bottom round. Harry's right on in how to handle it.
I had to also....the first image was of a tiny fish. I thought...why the hail would they be slow cooking a minnow?
don't worry about it sam.it won't be salted.silverside is like brisket,a long,low temp,slow roasting joint.I brought it from asda there got a bunch of diff cuts, rightly or wrongly being sold as roasting joints.
me too,wore me fingers to points rolling them.........I used to roast joints in my 20's....and they made me long and slow.
good morning & welcome from manchester,sam.
silverside is fine in the slow cooker.if i were cooking it i would make up a "christmas"dry rub(incorporate ground bay leaf,ground cloves,ground nutmeg,ground cinnamon,ground/dried orange peel & ground star anise into the "usual supects"(paprika,garlic,salt,pepper,chilli,brown sugar etc etc)).rub it evenly over the meat & let the meat marinate in the spices,in the fridge,overnight.put some thickly sliced onions in the base of the s/c as a trivet then put the meat & any liquid drawn from the meat,by the spices,in the s/c BUT DON'T ADD ANY ADDITIONAL LIQUID.plenty will come out of the meat during cooking which you can use as a base for gravy or dipping sauce.lid on then 24hrs on low.don't forget to get your joint up to room temp before putting it in the s/c.

hard to say without knowing what your taste is with regard to chilli,salt & bay etc.let's start off with the bay leaves,cloves,nutmeg,cinnamon & anise.these are powerful flavours that can overpower,so i would go for a teaspoon of each.garlic & chilli?that's up to you,only you know how much you like garlic & heat.salt & black pepper?i would go for a dessert spoon of each.smoked paprika & brown sugar?tablespoon of each.i would also add a heaped teaspoon of ground cumin,ground ginger & the same of ground black cardamom seeds if you can find them.the cumin has a warm citrus flavour & the cardamom has a smokey,minty type flavour.How much would you put in of each if its not to much trouble Harry?
happy to help sam!!at the end of the day it's your food/your choice.if you want more heat,add more chilli.if you like it sweeter add more sugar & less salt,etc etc etc.up to you mate,good luck!!Wow!Thank you very much!! Harry. will do.
