We have a BIG Crock Pot. My hubby buys stuff like that so we had to have the all singing and dancing one.... You'l be ok with a big one I'd imagine because it's probably like the wedding at Canna round yours for tea but if you're a family of 3 or 4 a massive one isnt great when doing things like curry, chilli stew UNLESS you have plenty of freezer space and tupperware! We have a programmable one and I think that's a good feature. Means you can set it off and forget about it without overcooking. It will flick to a warming setting when cooked
Well then yeah you just throw it all in and stick it on There's 2 settings on mine plus the warming one which is mega low but keeps it hot to serve straight away.
It would be handy for days I have to be away in the afternoon, I could prepare all and presumably theres a timer on them?
Yep. Throw it all in and switch on. #1 if you can leave it say 7 hours and #2 if you dont put it in early. The longer teh better with stew and the like.
Mine was from ASDA for something like £20 theres a high low and warm setting ...its brilliant! Sometimes I start dinner late morning or early afternoon depending what it is chilli spag bol stew (beef and chicken) ^ thats all I can do in mine LOL I always lightly cook any meat before throwing in the slow cooker also. x
Think I'll get one, it would be handy if I'm going out to just bung stuff in and not have to worry about having to cook when I come home There's some great offers in argos at the minute, think I'll get a giant one
They are worth it, i have a bog standard one at present, but have been looking at the crock ones, now im back at work and what not.
