i was told by another accywebber that she chucks everything in her slow cooker on Saturday night and sets a timer for it to come on first thing Sunday morning, so she doesnt have to get up early just to start dinner and she can have a lie in GENIUS!!!!


they are selling timers at poundland at the moment by the way, may have to buy one

I have made curries and also boiled a gammon joint in mine a few times and comes out really well - not at all dry. Why not look on the internet for recipes - there will be lots of inspiring dishes for you to try.....

What temperature do those slow cookers cook at?

[MargaretR]

They must have liquid - which reaches a slow simmer - no steam escapes
...so the answer must be 'boiling point'

I bought one today, am looking forward to experimenting with it

Not really
A pressure cooker cooks fast, halving cooking time
A slow cooker needs a long time, but uses less fuel
