Our Slow Cooker is dead!!

I discovered to my horror, when I was washing out the ceramic pot, that its cracked in a major fashion down one side. Basically a triangular piece of ceramic has come loose.

Seriously they are well worth it.

what we do is prepare the ingredients of the curry or whatever and bung them in the pot the night before or on the day, just before we go to work.

We can enjoy dinner almost as soon as we get in. If the low setting is used, they use as much energy as a light bulb.

Also great for roast lamb and beef - bung in with a bit of water to stop the joint drying out

And you can use cheap cuts of meat too, depending on if you have a good butcher near you - we've done neck of lamb, beef skirt and so on. Great for Lancashire Hotpots and Irish Stew. Also done Goulash and dumplings recently.

I can't recommend one highly enough! And it was £20.00 in the sale!

With me working shifts, we just dont have a use for one at the moment.

They do sound pretty good though.
