In my slow cooker today...

Started making a lovely sausage casserole today - had the sausages browning slightly, carrots and onions fried slightly - added the passata (youngest hates tomatoes). Added the baked beans, some hotdogs (needed to spread it round more people), then heard a sizzle.....thought that maybe some water had got onto the heating element, lifted the crock pot to check for water and the bottom fell out of the crock pot ---- absolutely gutted, I loved that slow cooker like a third child (OK maybe a bit dramatic). Will have to save up now for a new one - apparently Tesco's are selling one for £12 at the moment.

oh no ali_baba2! what a shame. good luck finding an inexpensive replacement quickly - that tesco one sounds a great price.

Wow that is scary! What brand was it?

Argos are selling the 6.5L Crock Pot for £29 which is a really good price, and also Amazon has some bargains.

Am putting in a very creamy rice pudding in our slow cooker today. Meant to do it yesterday but didn't have any pudding rice or cream so it is todays pudding :-)

Ali-baba2 yikes that is very scary, I do hope you weren't scolded or anything.

I am going to put a whole chicken in with some veg. Should I skin the chicken?

alli-baba i bought the Tesco one yesterday so I'll let you know how I get on. Wish it could be a little bigger as I struggled to fit everything in for my stew today.
I've put in casserole beef, celery, leeks, swede, onions, carrots, parsnips, bouquet garni, garlic, bovril stock and some lentils. Fingers crossed

In mine today (prepped last night) a sausage casserole - 3 huge smokies (from the butcher) cut into smaller chunks and browned, chopped mushrooms, chopped carrots, chopped courgette, tin of berlotti beans (drained and rinsed - i'm not keen on baked beans), carton of tomatos, herbs, onion gravy granules mixed with hot water, the end of a jar of tomato chutney with roasted red peppers.

Nearly forgot to put it on this morning!
