I am thinking of getting a Cookworks round 3.5litre slow cooker in argos for £9.99 and was wondering if anyone had bought one recently and what its like please:T :T :T :T

Most of my kitchen electrical gadgets are of the frugal Cookworks variety and I have had no problems with them. They are basic, but functional. My slow cooker, although on the small side and with only the basic low/high/auto settings has been used for most things, although I don't recommend doing porrige or rice pudding overnight and then forgetting about it It has no timer, you need to remember to switch it off, even on auto setting. I learned that the "eeeugh" way :rotfl:

What sort of things have you cooked in it please?:T :T

So far only veggie mince and soups.
I keep meaning to try rice pudding.... but I only have sushi and brown rice in the house at the moment... so will get some pudding rice next month and try that.

Well looks like I did Jan for £171 (poss a few extra pounds more to go) so I think I should be able to do feb on £180 - want to reduce gradually in case of incidents!

My dd has a cookworks slowcooker and loves it, she makes a lot of bolgnaise sauces and chillis in hers. I have an old tower sc of my Mums and a morphy R large one for bulk cooking and make a lot of stews, casseroles, currys, chilli, soups, stock and baked apples which are lovely filled with hm mincemeat!

OldMacdonald - I am so impressed with all you do and would love to be brave and cook more with pulses - off to find some recipes! the soap mix sounds good too, I am using soapnuts for most of our washing now and only using up my stock of washing tablets for the really mucky stuff (dog walking clothes:rolleyes:)
