    I like beef and lamb done in the slow cooker but chicken and pork I prefer roasted. We have a George Forman type grill that’s old but ok at the moment but when that dies won’t be replaced. My air frier or the oven if I can fill it are much better.
    My microwave is 15 years old and when that goes I’m not sure I’ll replace it ( it might take a bit more organisation because it gets used mainly for reheating things and the occasional jam sponge) The extra space in the kitchen would be nice.

    I only use my big oven when batch baking stuff ,I use my Remoska for most stuff as a rule as its quicker and a lot easier to keep clean :) 
    My SC get a lot of use as well as its excellent for batch cooking stuff mince for lasagne or chilli or cottage pies.

    I've been wearing a dressing gown over my clothes during the winter so I don't have to have the heating on so high. I also pinned 2 x door curtains together to make a double thickness for both my front and back doors as they both have half glass panes and I also made thick draught excluders for both doors too, and it has made a big difference.
