slow cookers

[-:Undertaker:-]

anyone else use a slow cooker

literally my favourite thing in the kitchen. so easy to use and you get a proper healthy tea

meat done in it aswell just falls off the bone. did a chicken provencal today in it and was lovely

how about you

[scottish]

no I prefer my food cooked fast

[Martin]

I have been tempted to get one but I don't know what I would cook in it!

Do you just like put raw meat and potatoes in and it comes out cooked after a few hours? (So could like put it in before ma lectures and come home to beautiful cooked food) or do you have to like cook it in the pan and shit first?

you literally just throw it all in together

in asda if you look in the casserole section there's packets you can get of herbs/spices etc and it tells you exactly what you need on back. so like x4 chicken thighs, 2 carrots & 4 potatoes. literally just throw them all in the slow cooker, add water to the packet and pour that in then put lid on and in a few hours time you've got a proper filling meal that is made from real ingredients and not frozen rubbish.

would reallyyyyyyyy recommend one. you can get in Argos a small one for like £15 to £20. they're great come home to food done.

hey i try

[myles]

hey i try aw i cant be mean 2 u

Yah they are really good but I've found that for some things they aren't as good as a good old saucepan. For instance I am always chucking ingredients for lentil soup in there. I thought the other week I really fancy some leek and potato soup, slung it all in there and it was just awful compared to when I cook it on the cooker.

But yeh I too would recommend one. Get a small one though if it's just for you or if you intend to freeze the rest as they're quite big. Easily get 4 dinners out of one pot.

Brilliant thing is they make really cheap and nasty cuts turn out wonderful and tender, it's just a case of doing the prep work for it. Yum yum yum tasty sheep in my belly

[Empired]

Yes we do lots of casseroles in there! I'd recommend looking up slow cooker recipes online if u wanna get one tho cos the advice in here to just chuck it in and enjoy is kinda true but doesn't work for everything

[Prosiary]

I've been looking at getting one for my parents for a while now, probably will get one soon.

Also will be good if i'm on like the 6 hour shifts I do on weekdays some times, put it on before work and come home to lovely food.

[Chris]

Yeah they're great. Sometimes cook stuff to put in a pie.

[despect]

We don't have one but just looking through some of the comments in the thread I may get one!

[Sho]

my parents have one and they're obsessed with it lmao
