Slow cooking
Should I buy a Slow cooker?
Anyone got one? Does everything come out tasting the same, bland and dull...  Will I want to get up at 6am to chop veggies and brown meat so it can cook slowly all day? Decisions decisions...

just like you said, prepare and let it cook slowly. but 6 am? what if you chopped everything the night before? I found everything tasty, from stews to goulash, with herbs, spices and seasonings surrounding everything.....nothing bland nor dull.....tons of flavour!  |

 I somehow think I will be more likely to fill it up on a day after the school run and leave it cooking whilst I put in a day of study.

Re: Slow cooking
They are great! I like to cook roasts in them, it will make two meals for the family and I feel like I really cooked something!

Re: Slow cooking
I love mine. I brown the meat in the evening and chuck it in the slowcooker with chopped veg, herbs and some sprinkled oxo cubes plus water. Then I set the timer to come on during the following day so its ready when I get home from work and everyones hungry and I'm too tired to cook.
Once I've eaten and relaxed I clean up and repeat for the next day. Food cooked in a slowcooker is delicious. You can use cheaper cuts of meat and because they cook so slowly they just fall apart in your mouth when you eat them. Yummy and delish.

Re: Slow cooking
Just seal it fast in a frying pan, right before you pop it in. I put mine in the morning around 7, it is done about 3. Nice and easy. You can cut up veggies if you want to the night before.
