    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 :).

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

    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.
