Re: Slow cooker

I have the biggest I could get because I then freeze any left overs, and often have 8 here for dinner anyway. Then I also have the smallest I could get for rice pudding it holds just a pint.

Re: Slow cooker

Thanks Julie. Think I may opt for the larger one then as I am inundated with visitors during the summer, with living here on the coast.

Re: Slow cooker

I love mine but never cooked a large piece of meat. I would say get the biggest you can and buy a medium sized piece of beef and slow cook it when you're around to keep looking and prodding! If I do a stew it is on low for about 6 hours and the meat is lovely.

Re: Slow cooker

Stella darlin' - Fabulous!!! - you'll need one about 6 pints capacity.

As to cooking joints, - do it overnight - load up the slow cooker and switch on just before you retire for the night and let it do 'it's thing' overnight. The smell in your kitchen the next morning will be something to behold.

Re: Slow cooker

Have you bought a cooker yet? Just dawned on me I have a few cooker sites with a pretty good selection of Slow Cookers. Most top suppliers are there - Currys and whoever.

Re: Slow cooker

No Mark, haven't yet bought one - just thinking about it at the moment but will call on you if I do - thanks.

Re: Slow cooker

Just hadda look. They start from £9.99.

Re: Slow cooker

That's reasonable Mark. I expect the largest one would be more expensive though, bound to be.

Re: Slow cooker

6.5L capacity for £89.99.

But there are many suppliers so the price varies.

Re: Slow cooker

Heck Mark, that really is expensive.
