Love food hate Waste Part two for 2018 :)

I have a Remoska , and a slow cooker, and this was my treat as I couldn't think of anything else to buy with what was left of my Christmas cash I had a pressure cooker many years ago but it was a bit temperamental and terrified me so I gave it away.This new one seems to be a lot better design and has many safety features. I do love my 'moska and its used daily. I managed to find a deal where I got a 3 litre one for a tad over £45 so was quite happy with that My son-in-law paid around £100.00 for theirs but as I am on my own a small one was quite OK for me

£45 was a good price. Would it be big enough for 2 or would a bigger one be needed. If I could get one for £45 I might treat myself (birthday coming up shortly!).

I've used my PKP a lot since I brought it last year in fact I haven't used my slow cooker since. Lovely beef shin casseroles in 30 minuets. I usually stock up when I see meat reduced at the Waitrose next to work as their meat counter does has good reductions from lunchtime the latest one was a mix of pig cheeks and pork osso bucco cooked in cider

There is one problem and that's rice pudding in only 12 minutes :rotfl: I hadn't made it in years before the PKP occasionally I make with half milk half coconut milk, just need to remember to use less sugar.

Hi folks,

Wed. DH had lo hm beef curry + last naan from freezer, I had lo Chinese takeaway from freezer.
The lasagne meat is defrosting & the garlic baguette can be cooked from frozen.

I made some “Twinks” aka hobnobs today & they are delish :drool: + made an apple & summer fruits (from freezer) crumble.

Need milk for custard, a pork joint & potatoes + other bits & pieces so I now have a proper shopping list and will send DH to sm later today - I hope the sm isn’t crowded as it appears from other threads that people are going potty with their food shopping because it is Easter :eek: no wonder there is so much food waste :eek:

Joedenise, Yes I think 3 litres would be big enough, have a shufti in the shops first to see if you think it is. I have a 3 litre slow cooker and that more than makes enough for me with lots of portions to freeze.

I looked online, and Tesco click and collect did them, and although online it said the price was £48.95 when I went to order it at the big Gillingham store the price came up as £45.60 and I collected it the following day;);) who am I to argue with their prices at the till Well worth the money I think

I see that Lakeland are offering the 5 litre 12 programme one for £59.99 with a 3 year guarantee ATM, it is probably a good thing that I live too far away from a store to go and check it out:rotfl:

I had been wondering about getting one for the caravan, but a bit concerned about the steam when de-pressurising, no extractor fan in there:( also rather a lack of worktop space.

I'm another one a long way from a Lakeland! Like you it's just as well I can't get there easily as I invariably buy something if I go in - which is why I don't look at their website either!

I use my small pressure cooker (on the hob) in my motorhome and just lift it outside to depressurise. I wouldn't use an electric one in there as we don't always have electric. We often go on rallies at weekends where there is almost never electric.

My DD and son-in-law take theirs to their caravan every weekend and its fine, no problems with steam at all
