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...

Anything you little heart desires it would seem.

Stop talking about wintery things

Steve_P

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.

Aviator

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

Steve_P

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

And not everyone is a barbecue nut.

Boy_Howdy

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

Steve_P

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

Oh and we do have air conditioning.

Boy_Howdy

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

Steve_P

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.
