IMPORTANT
When buying a joint of meat, make sure that it will fit the size
of the slow crock pot. It should fit into the crock pot so that
when it is covered with liquid it will still be 2.5cm below the rim
of the pot. The joint must not stick out above the rim and there
should be enough room to cover the meat with water. The
shape of the meat is just as important as the weight.
