Slow cooker or bread maker?

As a veggie I'd def vote for breadmaker. Everything from the slow cooker comes out as vegetable mush sadly But the breadmaker is great.

As pink-winged said though it depends on your lifestyle. Personally I eat a good bit of bread and am probably less of a 'stew' person. But if you're more of a stew person then go with the SC

The only other SC thing to watch out for is to be sure and get the appropriate size. I got a huge one and there's only two of us and it needs to be three quarters full to use it so I get about 5 days meals from one cook up This is way way too much.

I'd say get both - but forget any spend, you'll get them both on freecycle if you've a little patience!

I got both mine within 2 weeks - 1 was offered, 1 was a response to my 'wanted' post, both were as good as new.

Having read this thread just reserved a slow cooker for collection tomorrow at Argos for £16.64 it's Morphy Richards currently £8 off Look forward to using it later in the week, think Sausage Casserole will be the first thing to try.

Another vote here for the slow cooker. Have now had mine for exactly a year and can't believe I did without it before.

It has dramatically changed our eating habits for the better.

However, as a still-in-training-OSer I'm wondering whether 2008 could be the year of the breadmaker. Am off to investigate further!

p.s. tt07 - that Morphy Richards one is the one I have. I love it....

Tartan Mum thanks for the vote on the Morphy, we have a Panasonic Bread Maker and it really has been excellent over the last year, it does make great bread I prefer the full length programs the fast bake program to me gives a bit of a funny taste compared to full length. But I do enjoy the bread especially the granary flour based stuff we make.
