A couple of local food writers were discussing slow cookers/crock pots
on the radio this lunch time and people were phoning in their recipes.

I haven't made xmas puddings for many years but when I did I "steamed"
them in the slow cooker overnight. I usually put something like a saucer
in the bottom to keep the base of the pudding basin elevated a bit and
poured in boiling water to about half way up the basin, set at "high"
until the water simmered and then turned down to low for the overnight
cooking.
On xmas morning I used the slow cooker to reheat the pudding and done
that way meant that it was one more thing one didn't have to watch, time
or worry about.
The long slow cooking meant that the puddings were very dark and, of
course, delicious.
