Slow cookers
 

Never got one until recently, any ideas of what the hell I can do with it other than stew?

Didnt it come with a recipe book?

You can get those pre prepared frozen casserole packs that you just throw in and leave to cook if you are really lazy...

Stop talking about wintery things :frown:

Re: Slow cookers
 

What's wintery about a slow cooker?

Use 'em in summer instead of the oven and you don't heat up an already hot house. :p

Re: Slow cookers
 

Nah, we have salad all summer - it does not have to be cooked.

Re: Slow cookers
 

Man cannot live on salad alone...gotta 'ave a cooked meal every now and then. ;)

And not everyone is a barbecue nut.:sneaky::D

Re: Slow cookers
 

1) Agreed

2) You need a/c sir.

Salad schmalad

You must embrace the colonial spirit, if you aint bbq ing you better be smoking some elk/wild turkey/bison/boar/freshly caught salmon

Re: Slow cookers
 

I was speaking generally, we have a/c 110v mostly and 240v for the dryer.

Oh and we do have air conditioning. ;)

Re: Slow cookers
 

Sir, merely openning the front and back doors does NOT qualify as air conditioning

Re: Slow cookers
 

Well duh.

Everyone know you gotta open the windows too.

I had one in the UK but hardly used it. Now in Canada, I'm a complete convert and use them all the time! Like you say, great for stews and casseroles. I also use it for soups, joints, cakes, rice pudding and even porridge on occasion. I bought myself a couple of cook books purely for slow cooking recipes and try out new things from there (got some nice curry and sweet & sour recipes). I've also tried out recipes off the Internet too.
