Whats the price?

Howdoidothis4eva · 10/02/2019 13:34

I've got one of those, paid £31 for it. It was £39.99, but box had fallen apart so I asked for a discount as it was the last one (so couldn't choose one that wasn't in a damaged box). Got it from Aldi.

I’ve got the Aldi one too but can’t remember how much I paid. Can’t see it as being loads as I’m tight

DH bought one last year. It keeps the George Foreman company in the 'cupboard full of things we don't actually use'.

But were would you store it when not in use? I wouldn't have a space big enough in my kitchen cupboards.

I have one. It lives in the spare room but tonight it has shepards pie in one bowl, beef tagine in another and caramel apple rice pudding in the third. I am sat by the stove with a gin feeling smug that everyone has their favourite dinner 😂 Daddy slow cooker (6litre) has a garlic lemon chicken in for tomorrows lunch, Mummy slow cooker is having a night off. Yes I am a bit insaneConfused
Word to the wise my cooker turned gross from not being cleaned before I overused the slow cookers in favour of it. Blush

Can you, any chance you could share the recipe for garlic lemon chicken? Sounds awesome.

Igmum · 12/02/2019 06:10

It’s on sale in Aldi at the moment for £25

canyou · 12/02/2019 19:46

Angie169 you can buy decals for the crockpot.
I try only cook every second day due to the funny shifts I work. So a meal to eat and one to reheat
Lemon garlic chicken
1 head of garlic
2 lemons
Salt& pepper
Bunch of rosemary
1 chicken or 6 fillets work as well
Pop bird into the pot
Season well with salt and peppet
Cover with lemon and rosemary
Cook on low for 8-10 hrs. fillets do better for 6 hrs
This works well for fish as well swop ouf the rosemary for dill or taragon and put the fish on to parchment paper over foil so it is easier to get out

canyou · 12/02/2019 19:47

Add the garlic with the lemon and herb BlushHmm
