Wonderful things.I bought my first one over twenty five years ago and purchased a new one last year.They are a godsend when you work especially at this time of the year.Although retired now I still use mine an awful lot.
Get yourself a Crockpot recipe book to go with it and you are away.There are loads of recipes on the web anyway.

In mine I make stews and casseroles,pot roasts,porridge,and even jacket potatoes.I add dumplings and potatoes for the last hour of cooking for a stew.Shove it all in the night before switch it on before you go to work and you will have a lovely hot meal ready for you when you return.
If you put "slow cooker " into the category search there are lots of posts praising this marvellous invention.

Absolutely brilliant invention! I love the fact you can smell lovely food when you walk into your home on a cold evening.
Follow Shaneystar's instructions. She's great at doing research.

the only kitchen "gadget" worth bothering about. Any cut of meat cooked to perfection. You simply can't go wrong.
