    A slow cooker is a large(ish) cooking pot that typically on low power uses about oas much electric power as a light bulb.

    It cooks slowly, and is ideal for cooking the main course of a meal while you are out at work.

    There is also this one not sure if it is any good.

    I have a £10 amazon voucher somewhere. Add a DVD and it should take it up to £19 and it will have cost me £9ish for a slow cooker and a DVD. Ummm.

    Better go and claim my amazon voucher.

    Sorry for going OT here but how do you get Amazon vouchers? I've spent literally £100's with them over the last couple of years but never been offered so much as 1p off in vouchers or otherwise :confused:

    I don't get them from Amazon I get them from survey websites.

    Like Juicy brains. They send you surveys once in a blue moon and they offer amazon vouchers as the incentive.

    If you increase yor income a bit then you get more surveys! It's not exactly lying, since we're moneysavers and therefore can buy more with our money than non-moneysavers!
