Tesco has reduced their 3.5Ltr slow cooker by half price to £9.99. I've been waiting for this and just nipped out and bought one. It's still showing as full price online though:

Tesco SC356 Slow Cooker

Catalogue number: 100-2168

* £19.97

For a larger slow cooker try ALDI 6.5L http://uk.aldi.com/sunday_special_buys/productnl_418.html

£19.99 twice the price but nearly twice the capacity

Hi

Can anyone help me?

I got one of these but instructions are a bit unclear. It says that low is for heating up and not cooking but most of the recipes I have found say to cook on a low heat for 6 -8 hours???

Also it says cooking time is 6 to 8 hours on high, what happens after 8 hours does it go automatically go to warm?

Also I am at work for about 10 hours will it be ok to leave it on for that long? and if so on what heat level if I am cooking a stew for example?

Many Thanks

Shaun

Hi Shaun,

I just got mine and used it once. I was also confused by the instructions which were a bit sparse. I filled it almost to the top with my raw meat & veg, stock cubes etc and topped it with boiling water. Left it from 10am til 5pm on High. When I came in it was simmering nicely. I seasoned it and thickened with SmartPrice instant mash flakes. It was perfect.

I would make sure that it is not too full though as it might boil over.

I'm looking to try out another recipe now. There's a thread with lots of slow cooker recipes on here somewhere.

Cant help you myself but there should be an answer for you on the Complete Slow Cooker Collection on the Old Style Thread.
Thinking of getting a slow cooker myself now.

I'll also vouch for the gammon cooked in coke. It sounds weird but it's now become a family favourite. The gammon takes on a lovely sort of barbecue flavour
