    There's so much that you can do with a SC that the easiest way is to point you to this thread:

    Good Luck with getting to know yours :D. I've been using mine for about 8 mths and wouldn't ever be without it now.

    Go with the link that Olliebeak has given above. Because your sc is 18years old, it will almost certainly have a much lower wattage than the modern ones. I think this is a great advantage, but it does mean that your meals will take longer to cook. Having said that you will be amazed at how tender even the toughest cuts of meat become.

    Don't listen to LandyAndy use your cooker and make your own decision, don't make your mind up if the first one goes wrong.
