Re: Choosing a Slow Cooker
I just wondered whether it is worth me buying one if my ordinary cooker does exactly the same thing - PLUS, if the oven was on very low all day it would keep the kitchen warm too, which a slow cooker won't.See - I aint as daft as you thought, am I.

Re: Choosing a Slow Cooker
We have had a slow cookpot for many years, actually the original one had recently packed up so we got another. What is great about then is if you go out for the day you can put food in before you go out in the morning and getting home in the evening there is a hot meal waiting. Sue mainly uses hers for stews (UMMMMM) taste really great. You should see her dumplings nice and round and firm.

The slow cooker is as low as running a light bulb so extremely cheap

Re: Choosing a Slow Cooker
Mups, when I cook my roosters, I just bunch up some cooking foil so they don't touch the bottom then place them in breast down and cook for 4 or 5 hrs. ( these are roosters around six months old so tough old birds that need low and slow)You would do the same with a shop chicken but would only need a couple of hours. You won't get one to brown and crisp though. The skin will be gelatinous still. But if you are looking to find chicken meat for pies/casseroles etc it's a good way of cooking a chicken. Stays moist, meat just falls off and you get a good stock to make soup or gravey
