Anyone used a Wonder Cooker lid thingy? :)

I picked up one of these at a charity shop for £1, so if it is a load of *$!&, I haven't lost a lot .

Has anyone ever used one and if so what did you think of it?

To be honest, I wasn't sure what you did with it, I just had a look, saw that it has never been used (still sealed in bag in box) so took a gamble.

I don't have one personally - but did you check out the You Tube link that was given in one of the reviews?

There's more links down the right hand side on that link. Might give you some ideas on what it does and how to use it .

I have seen a lot of YouTube vids but they are either in another language or have no instructions.

I will go and have a look for the vid now.

Ta.

Good Luck with it - some of the reviews seemed quite good.

Well, I am not one for reading instructions first and I had a go with it tonight.

I chopped up a whole tin of Aldi new potatoes (15p), added a chopped onion, 2 tsp of Kucharek spice mix, tbs of veg oil, some freshly ground black pepper and sea salt and fried it covered for 10 mins.

I think I should have started it off on a lower heat because the onions had started to stick after about 8 mins (rubbish non stick pan!).

Anyway, I turned the heat down, put the lid thing back on and gave it another 3 mins.

I am glad the onions stuck slightly now as it all had a lovely caramalized taste.



Now to read the instructions before I use it again.

My husband says I am terrible as I have been known go shopping, come back with something that needs assembling and start to do it without taking my coat off first.

He does come in handy at Christmas when I need the trees bringing down from the loft.
