Slow cookers
Anyone got one? Are they any good?
I got my sis one for Xmas as she asked for one (she likes to do a ham over Xmas). She said it's best ham she ever tasted and she's cooked a few things in it since and told me to get one.
So asking you ladies what you think so I get a broader spectrum so to speak.
I do like the idea of one as I could put it on and leave it to cook whilst looking after lo so I'm not standing over hob etc. But don't want to waste my money (well oh's money!) on something I might use once then gather dust at back of kitchen cupboard.
Also if you do have one what do you cook in it (that you can also give to lo as a meal)?

you can cook alomost anything in a slow cooker stews ,roast etc ive got one im just too lazy to use it lol claire
We got one as a wedding gift and I love ours. When I was out working I used to lob some veg, diced meat and a bit of sauce (packet or stock) and when we got home it would be ready with a bit of mash and yorkshires!
Never thought to use it for ham. We did one over Crimbo too on the hob and it was delicious but it would be easier in a slow cooker. Could you borrow your sisters to try it out before you buy one? Just an idea. x
so so easy to use! and the smell when you walk through the door from a hard day at work is great! yum yum

My friend pot roasts in hers but I have yet to try it.
The only problem I have is my DH sticks a spoon in and nicks it before hes meant to, he wouldnt do that if they were in the oven!!
Just remembered - have made a brill rice pudding in it too!
Is it really any wonder I am struggling to lose the weight??

i'd never heard of slow cookers before coming on here!!
Just one Q, are they easy to clean? i hate things that you have to take apart to clean!!
1st baby, where did you get the recipe book from?
They are really easy to lean cos you just pull the ceramic pot part out thats all that need cleaning. i got some recipe books from amazon.
Also they are fine to leave when you are out as they are basically just a ceramic pot inside a metal case that warms it. Just make sure you put in enough water. I leave mine on when i go out all the time.
Will be great to walk through the door and its all ready,also can make stews ect,as nice and healthy and filling,something i probably wouldnt do without a slow cooker! cheers ccbmommy for starting this thread x
