Am toying with the idea of getting one of these. Looking at a recipe book I see you cook all the ingredients up first and then tranfe them to the slow cooker so I would have thought this was duplication of effort to some extent. Are they a waste of time or worth it? Do you find meals are cheaper with them because you can use cheaper cuts of meat?
Am starting mat leave next week so thought it would be a good idea to be able to prepare dinner when DC2 is sleeping (I hope!!)and also great to have warm, wholesome - and not too expensive - meals for winter nights.
Don't want to waste money on something we will not use much as with me on mat leave, we need every penny we can get!!
TIA
