slow cooker

kingston_2730 · 2010-02-20 20:07:47

Just wondering if you think it would be worthwhile for me to buy one of these? I lead a very busy life. Both OH and I work fulltime and several nights a week and on weekends we are taking our two kids to their various activities. I am not a great cook, well having said that its not that I'm not a good cook more that I have…

I have a 3.5l one and it makes 4-5 portions, or a whole chicken etc.

If you want one big enough to make 8 portions I would go for the larger one.

They are really easy to use, I've got a soup in mine at the moment.

I also have a breadmaker which I love. You can set it on a time delay to have it ready either for when you get up or come in from work. Between the two you could be walking into a lovely meal with fresh bread.

I also work full time and have a busy life and it gives me satisfaction to make a meal myself rather than have ready meals all the time.
