Buying a slow cooker (which? & why?)

Andybez38

There's no slower cooker than my missus.... Shes that bloody slow even the chicken dinner she promised me has frozen again with the next iceage.

Hi foreign correspondent,

Here's the link to the Morphy Richards 6.5ltr on the grabbit board.

If you are looking for a smaller one the 3.5ltr is on offer in both Amazon and Argos.

I have seen the morphy richards one in sainsburys. Not sure of the price though, I think it was about £29

thanks everyone, however, luckily enough, I just popped round to my mums house and she said she had one in her cupboard that she never used, and has kindy donated it to me, so no need to buy one now!
your help was much appreciated though
best wishes

Oh was about to say that Asda had an ONN one for £14

I think this is the same one availble from Robert Dyas for £19.00. Comes to 24.95 with delivery, but I used a 10% code to get it for 22.95 (and 7% Quidco making it £21.34 ish) not quite s good but OK if you cant get to TJ Hughes

I have the Asda OMM one and it only lasted me 4 months, it was fine for about the first 10 uses, then stuff started sticking to the sides, whether it was on slow or fast setting, whether I used more liquid, whether or not I stirred it...

At the end I was having to soak it 3 times to even get the stuff off the side, so this last time I just threw it on the bin, after I had been soaking it for days, trying to wash it and then resoaking.

Gonna buy the morphy richards tonight and wish I had got it in the first place!

I'm on the look out for a cheap yet reliable slow cooker as I've seen sooooo many great recipes on here. You've totally coverted me.

Cooking for family of 4 (two small boys but getting bigger and already eating me out of house and home!) I would like to be more organised and do more batch cooking.

Which makes do you have and would you recommend them again?

I would make sure that you buy one with a low, high and mid setting.

I have this one http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4226433/Trail/searchtext%3ESLOW+COOKERS.htm

I put frozen meat in it with all the other bits and bobs to make a meal and place it on the auto setting for about 9 hours.

Result perfect meal
