slow cooker


I have succumbed. We went out to the sales and bought a new slow cooker - and it is wonderful. For it's inauguration, we loaded the pot up with ingredients from Jason's Slow Cooker Chicken Curry

I came home in the afternoon, and upon opening the door the warm cooking smells of a slow cooked meal came upon me. There was no burnt sauce, and no charred meat stuck to the bottom.

We'll be using this guy a lot over the next few months!

Had it not been for a slow cooking crock pot, I probably would have starved to death as a bachelor Helen.

They are a wonderful tool Nevar!

I'm trying to convince my husband to do more with this one than just turning it on!!

Go on a weeks vacation and leave him alone with a crock pot, cook book and no snacks; he'll come around pretty darn quickly.

Yay Helen - massive congratulations!!!
That is brilliant and I feel honored you christened it with one of my recipes. YAY!!!!!!!
I was suggested an unusual recipe I am going to try (money pending) on Sunday. It's a corned beef cooked in a slow cooker with lemonade - I laughed when it was suggested but they swore I would love it. Keep you posted.
The pics won't load for some reason in your post so I can't see it but maybe next time I log on it will work.
Have a great weekend!

Congrats! It's a fantastic investment, Helen.

Thanks guys!

Jason you should feel honoured - if it wasn't for your posts I probably would have put up with our old one, and been disapointed every time it burnt things!

I have re uploaded the pics - hopefully they will work for everyone now.

The pics worked - it looks very sexy for a slow cooker
I have just taken mine off the shelf and am prepping it for my experimental lemonade cooked corned beef. I am quite nervous as I need it to work - people for dinner.
I have searched online and can find nothing that says they work together but I there are plenty of recipes with the normal cooking it in water and a few for cooking in guiness and I am thinking it might just work. Fingers crossed - have a great day!
