    I have the same one and love using it, but sometimes I wish it was smaller because I cant get used to how big it is and how much you need to fill it up!

    Thanks for the whole chicken info. I have one in the freezer that is huge, I could fit it in the crock pot but I think maybe it is a bit big, perhaps I could joint it first but I don't like chopping them up much. Maybe hubby will oblige??????

    Moggins - mine burned on one side too once but the sauce was a bit thick and I had left it on for hours - it was no more than I expected, really. What happened to yours? Why do you think it is faulty?

    Stella dont forget that when its defrosted it might fit in whereas when its frozen it wont if you see what I mean! As long as the lid goes on properly you shouldnt have a problem.

    In the slow cooker at the moment Barbeque pork

    pork chops
    green pepper
    red pepper
    onion
    tin tomatoes
    bottle of Heinz BBQ sauce (lurking in the cupboard, never ever used so used the whole lot in this dish)

    Smells heavenly hope it tastes the same!

    I am so envious of you lot- I am still waiting for my new slow cooker to arrive from Tesco! :)

    I made vegetable curry in the main electric oven but I was in a rush and added too much curry powder - nearly blew hubbies head off but I swore blind it was because of the bad weather and the flu going around- to stop him catching any germs as it is such a good anti viral agent.:):):) Not sure he is convinced!

    I made a lovely tomato soup in mine today.

    Then (sorry Elona) my new MR one from Tesco's turned up:D

    I have a duck in the freezer - anyone done a duck in a slow cooker? Gotta find something big to try my new cooker out. Otherwise, I see another monster curry coming on.

    Ticklemouse - do not mention curry as hubbie convinced I am trying to kill him with strength of veg curry I just made LOL.

    I ordered the thing on friday and got confirming e-mail saying 3 to 7 days till delivery. When did you order? Is it just me? I feel so deprived! :):):)

    Does anyone have the cookworks cooker one which was on sale at argos for £9 just after christmas?

    Cooking on low is fine, but when i cook on auto it seems to get too hot and stick to the sides (!!!!!! to clean then). Haven't dared use the high setting since. Was wondering if it's me doing something wrong or has anyone else had this problem.

    Sometimes I'm just not organised to cook all day, and want it to cook in 5 hours or so.

    I got this one last week, and paid £17.99.

    used it twice on auto so i ca trow everything in, and yes it has stuck to the side. Tried greaseing the side, read about it on here, but looks to be sticking still.

    Chicken balti yum yum

    sausage casserole tomorrow- why do I need an oven?

    Just looked in the book, it dosn`t say you can put it in the dishwasher-never mind.
