We had one as a wedding present, and it's back in Spain, gathering dust on the top shelf in the kitchen. However, here in the UK, I'm spending a large part of every day in the hospital with my daughter, who has had a serious stroke. After a couple of weeks relying on takeaways and the kindness of friends, I went into Argos and bought their cheapest slow cooker.
So far, I've made beef in beer, coq au vin and vegetable soup from the recipe book provided with the cooker. I must say I'm impressed with the results, and it means I can cook enough to make sure my grandson eats properly after work as well.
So, do you use a slow cooker? Any good recipes to recommend, or pitfalls to avoid?
