Slow cooker for Darby and Joan

galba

Just for the two of us and worktop space is at a premium.

I found two small ones....

and the Hinari has some good reviews. Any other recommendations ?

I got one of the small 1.8L ones from Asda and it's excellent. They are about £8 or £9. (maybe less)

I use it for meals that are just for me and OH and there is usually enough for two good portions and a wee bit left over

It's quite dinky and doesn't take up too much room on the counter top or in the cupboard

Hi Galba,

I have a crockpot slowcooker & I would definitely recommend this for the lazy person!!!! As you can remove the crockpot & use it on the hob, oven etc, it saves on the washing up.

I know personally that if I had to brown meat etc in a seperate pan first the extra washing up would put me off lol!
