Slow Cookers....

[Moby-Dick]

Who is an SC fan ?

I've got a sausage casserole in mine at the moment - they are fantastic

cheap to run & very good for those of us that work full time - set it off in the morning , have some beautifully tender grub for when you get home !!

I even did a roast in it last week - the meat was actually fighting amongst itself to jump off the bone !

A pot roast style thingy? Or an actual proper sunday style roast? Id love one, but given that 'we' are dieting, dont think it would go down that well/

[Moby-Dick]

Why don't you think it would be good for a diet ?

It was a real roast chicken

Dunno, all my mother evermakes in hers are casseroles, which generally arent the best things when youre counting calories. DIdnt realise you could get ones that will cook dry stuff, is it a special kind or did you just put it in the pot?

[Moby-Dick]

A casserole doesn't have to be fatty - one of the nice things about slow cooking is that you've more time to skin fat off.

Tonights food for example has

Lean Sausages
Tin of Tomatoes
Tine of Beans
Lentils
2 onions Pepper
Chilli Pepper
various seasonings

It'll make about 3/4 portions

Got mine for Christmas, although we've only used it twice so far. Sainsburys had deals on stewing lamb and beef brisket when we were there last though, so it'll soon be seeing some more action.

Beef casserole with potatos.

Using up the random potatos and carrots we have.

we'll see tomorrow if it works, first time I've used mine!

This is the bad boy you need - Good sized capacity and a steal at £25

That might be a bit big for two people though Moby. They do a 3.5L size here , although it's cheaper at Argos. ALternatively you can dip your toe in the water for under 15 quid, here.

I got mine a while back as a pressie - never got round to measuring the size though. Its probably about 4l
