    The internet is a wonderful thing. I've just printed off the instruction manual for the slow cooker. Wasn't sure on the settings and timings for it, and there's 26 receipes in it. :j

    Think I shall be trying a few of them out. I love slow cookers. They really are my kind of cooking.:D
    I'm thinking of asking santa for one - woud you recommend slow cookers then?

    I've got a Morphy Richards one which I've used a bit on and off. I don't use it as much as I probably could but it's handy to have. I've been told that I can use my bottom oven as a slow cooker so might try that.

    Gah being pestered by the children to feed them...blimy!

    Morning all

    DH is cleaning the study :D - it will be perfect as he's much more thorough than me, and it hasn't been done for weeks months as he's been studying in there all the time so I haven't managed to do it. I'm deciding which room to make a start on first, probably the bedroom I think, then kitchen. want to do the extra bits that don't usually get done. Won't bother with a list, but will report what's done. first job is to strip the bed i think. I also need to nip out and get an advent calendar as I'm guessing looking at the time i've missed Froddy's kind offer!

    lil-me - hugs, not a nice thought, we'll support you all the way
    soappie - glad you're feeling better
    pigpen - hope the party goes well and let me know if you want that charger

    You've got the same one as me then.
    Have you tried any of the receipes in the instruction booklet?

    :D I did what I always do with recipes... read them, think mmmmm that sounds nice, and then abandon the recipe and do my own thing!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    The tips on the thread "I'm disappointed with my slowcooker" were the most useful though.

    I've made:
    Goulash (Granny Trudie's recipe)
    Bolognaise
    Jamaican Stewed Beef
    Chicken in tomato/red wine sauce
    Lamb breast casserole
    Lamb chops in gravy
    Chilli
    Beef casserole

    Can't think what else.... but it's ace! :D
