The most brilliant piece of kitchen equipment ever ! I have so many gadgets lurking in the bottoms of cupboards but my slow cooker is in use all the time especially in the winter.
I never cook the Sunday roast in the oven anymore .The toughest bit of brisket or topside which would come out of an oven half the size it went in ,carves like butter when cooked in the slow cooker and a leg of lamb falls off the bone.
I even do jacket potatoes in it. And you can't beat it for stews casseroles and hotpots.It's a great time saver and although we are retired now I still use it just as much as when we were working.
