Sarriss was wondering does your Star Anise break up in the slow cooker ?

I chuck them in wether they're broken or not, but I can't say I've noticed that the whole ones break up. Either way, we don't eat them lol

Sarriss next time I’m dropping the star anise in a net bag.

Sounds strange I know but  pickled herring with fried Halloumi was my meatless Monday meal for today!
