What time can I put a slow cooker on?

  • Anyone tell me a good make/model for a slow cooker - I had one which I got rid of becasue although I had it on low heat I had to keep adding water to casserole so felt it was dangerous to leave when not nearby - which is the whole point of a slow cooker. Anyone know of a good make with a good lid which fits?
    Really appreciate any help!! Annie

    Aldi have a 6.5 ltr one for sale on Thursday. £17.99 with a three year warranty.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

  • Sometimes I think more is less. Get one with a variety of settings and of suitable size.Don't let 'cheapness'detract you from getting money saving item that does job. Otherwise false economy trying to squeeze decent qaulity out of basic item.

    Asda are doing one for £9 thats 3.5L. I got one as don't always want to cook loads in my big 6.5L one. Perhaps not very MSE but I run out of room in my freezer quickly if I do loads of batch cooking. The Asda one has Low and High settings only.

    Silly question possibly but would you not just have used the bigger one with less in it? Brain dead today!

    Big one is so wide that 1lb meat and veg for stews dries up and sticks.
  • Get to know how thy slow cooker works so thy can make the best estimate and so time meal right.
