Hi MK1MR2:hello:

I just happened to be in this board and noticed your thread. Over in Old style, there is an existing thread on which slow cooker and why which would certainly give you some good input from others as well.

Also, there is the complete slow cooker collection which should give you loads of threads to browse , so you can find out different recipes, methods and suggestions.

Hope that helps you
Zip.

ive got a round crock pot. i like it because of the look, the fact that i can use the crock pot on the hob and in the oven separate to the heating element and it works fine for me

I guess they are much the sameness if I get a 6.5L Slow Cookers with just the 3 settings.
Only difference being price and Watts?
And as for the timer plug idea sounds far more logical and saves on the price
