Aibu to think people who don't like slow cookers usually don't no what to make

[pleasemothermay1]

I love my slow cooker when I first got it made stews as I hadn't a clue what else I could make however since then I found out you can make loads

Most people either don't no how to use it or don't really know what you can make

I have make fudge in mine

Chicken wrapped in backed stuffed with cream cheese on a bed of leeks

Also make cakes in mine often it's so moist

I feel your pain - I loved my old ceramic pot, and it was slower. Like you I now have 2 different sizes.

sashh I think I don't need a slow cooker. I need a "so slow it's barely on cooker".

They're good for mulled wine at Christmas. You can keep a big pot of it warm all day.

Any advice for vegetarians? We find most recipes are great and need 4-6 hours cooking. When we're out of the house from 8-6 dinner is generally ruined. What are we doing wrong?

But a timer plug so it comes on at 2pm - sorted

Careful Roussette we're going to make a habit of agreeing with each other .

I had one like that too and I feel your pain, even on slow mine seems to cook faster than I'd expect!

Yes CodyKing that's what we do too.

I gave mine away. As a PP said everything just tastes like stew and it's just as easy to do it on the stove top.

YES! Everything I cook innit tastes the same - how do I change that (HRWT)

*in it

Miles oh yes

OK, in honour of this thread, I'm in most of the day and have gone and set my SC going with a slow cooker chilli recipe, I live in hope!

This thread made me paranoid all day when I was out that my slow cooker was going to catch fire with my BBQ pulled pork in it! It was really yummy though and I will definitely be making it again.

This thread may have influenced my decision to pick up some beef from the discounted section of the supermarket yesterday. Now making chilli (the chunky stew-like kind - I've never had luck making things with mince in my slow cooker).

The slow cooker group on FB is hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

Huge argument today about cooking a frozen chicken in one and she, 'hasn't killed her children yet'. Yet.

I have a huge slow cooker and I used to use it for roasting legs of lamb. Then my children decided they don't like lamb (annoying since the lamb is free!). Now I use it for making soap. (If you use a slow cooker for soap, please don't use it for anything else afterwards!).

Dh had a phase of cooking loads of things in the slow cooker. Some of it was nice but it was a bit 'samey' and I hate that cloying heavy smell in the air.

I quite like mine. But I usually do casserole type things which all taste reasonably similar, regardless of the meat or recipe. I got rid of my microwave about 20 years ago so the slow cooker is my only other cooking gadget other than the ovens/hob.

We very rarely eat casserole type meals. DD doesn't eat meat and the veggie or fish meals I usually make aren't really slow cooker friendly.

I love the idea of pulled pork or slow cooked lamb in a slow cooker, but as I don't have room to store one I just use the oven on a low setting.
