slow cooker quick questions thread

Olliebeak

I was considering buying a SC BEFORE joining this forum/OS Board - what I read on here convinced me it would be a good purchase.

Have to say, I've never regretted getting one - in fact I traded up to an even bigger one from my first .

I'm dead excited have been reading the quick questions thread but will have a look at the complete collection too for ideas. Can't wait to do next week's meal plan now!

the very, very, bestest thing about them is that they're great for keeping mulled wine warm :T:T :D

What are you planning to christen your slow cooker with?

I think I did stew in mine. Mmm, stew :drool:

ooo i remember being in your shoes what ever you do if you use meat do it really long on slow and you`ll be rewarded!! remember not to keep opening the lid as this slows the cooking down lots,with my meat in for 9 hrs i stir twice and no more ooo best thing i ever bought,have fun!!:j

Trouble is I won't be able to try it out until sunday as by the time I get home from work tonight it will be too late and we're having a party tomorrow evening.

So any tips for a newbie???

COngratulations, I know how exciting it all is! I remember when I got mine. Dead exciting!

Party tomoro night? What food are you serving? I would throw a chilli in it for cooking for tomorrow night, what better way to show case your new toy?! :rotfl:

Enjoy it! I don't use mine as often as I should but the days I do, especially in the winter, it's just fab coming home knowing your dinner is all ready.

We have two slow cookers, especially for parties. One for the chilli, one for the curry and the veggie option goes in the oven.
