Slow cookers (again)

Sorry another question. How slow are they? I leave for work by 7 and don't eat until at least 7. Do they cook slow enough to leave them for that time or would I need to buy a timer plug to set it to come on at some point in the day?

I've done that :-)

Have a look at this Libs it may help [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

We have a low, medium, and high setting. So for all day we put it on low and everything's fine.
As long as there is enough liquid/stock in there and it won't dry out then all is fine for a 12 hrs cook.

I think if you put a decent amound of liquid in and put it on low setting it should be fine all day.

yep i leave mine on slow for a good 12 hrs x

Sounds like something that would be useful in our house for the days I work.

What do you cook in them. The only thing I can think of is scouse.

I cook loads of stuff, bolognase, chilli, soup, casseroles, stews, hot pot..meat joints

Thanks amy

That's a lot of cooking!

And a lot of leccy!!

So I'm going to buy a slow cooker I remember seeing them for £10 are these any good or rubbish. I want one that dies the job but as cheap as possible. Any suggestions?

My Mum has a halogen cooker she swears by it says it's the best thing she ever bought

I have this one.. can deff reccommend it. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

There's one for £15 on asda website too but it's much smaller so if you're cooking for whole family probably not ideal

Definitely needs to be a big one

That one has sold out... how annoying, that was a great price for it.

I've ordered the smaller version of that one. There's only 3 of us and most of the time I'll only be cooking for me so should be fine

there was a silver 3l ( im sure ) down to a tenner in asda last week
i do not think they go through that much leccy ? xx

I have a slow cooker but everytime I try to make something it ends up like stew

There are a few on tesco direct so I'm going in to the store once I've got Ellie from pre school and will get one. Is it really sad that I'm dead excited about it? Lol

If it is then I'm sad as well Penny. I'm really looking forward to mine turning up

Ok - I've bought one. It was £14 from tesco and only 3.5 litres but I'm so exited. I've bought stewing steak and mushrooms for one night. Lamb to do scouse another night and chicken, tinned tomatoes and olives for another night. I'm so excited xx

only downside is ,, stick it all in in the morning , smell it cooking all day and tummy rumbles all day

Haha Michelle. Good job I'll be at work then
