I've been recommended to buy a slow cooker. Which one is good?

    So far I've used it twice, to make a simple recipe called "Chicken with Camembert Sauce", recipe at:

    Chicken With Camembert Sauce |

    The first time I a bit of the sauce burned itself onto the inside of the ceramic insert. I managed to get it off with Bicarbonate of Soda on a wet sponge, after soaking the inside of the insert. After that I read it is good to use spray oil to coat the inside of the ceramic pot before adding the ingredients, so as to avoid problems with burnt on sauce stains. I tried this trick the second time I used the slow cooker and it worked.

    Both times I enjoyed the meal and I'm looking at trying a different recipe next time.

    As it's a 6 litre slow cooker it's a case of "why buy dumbbells when I can just lift the ceramic insert?" The ceramic insert is so heavy I have to be really careful not to drop it when I'm carrying it around.

      Sounds like your right into it Pamount, well done.

      Have used mine a couple of times in the past week, latest effort a big pot of pork and beans, good winter standby.

        We have the same model and have had many fine meals from it, particularly before Mrs Rocky retired.
        She would put it on before she went to work and I would monitor it and turn it off when I thought the dish was cooked.
        I would imagine that a timer would be useful for folks who worked and could not he there to switch it off after a given number of hours.
        For single people they are an absolute must. No more arrive home from work and spend an hour cooking.
