I loved our slow cooker. Great for working mum’s. you can put it on in the morning and then it’s ready for when you get home. Great for stews and casseroles but also for roasts.

I have enormous trouble finding things my kds will eat.

I don’t really know the benefits of a slow cooker , yet I am surrounded by people who use them . They cook stews and congee in them , make it in the evenings , turn it on and have it ready next morning . I said isn’t that wasting electricity ??

I love my slow cooker! I use a lot of the slow cooker recipe bases, quick easy and yummy!!

Lucky you – slow cookers are wonderful!

If they prefer ‘curry’ style meals then this might be the place to start. For example butter chicken or lamb korma. A google search will bring up some slow cooker adapted recipes. Generally you add about half the liquid for a slow cooker than you would for a dish cooked on the stove. Enjoy!

great story to read

I LOVE my slow cooker. I’ve picked up various recipes online and through friends. It takes a little trial and error. Sites like this are good too

Corned silverside is one! I most of my curries in our wonderul slow cooker, the meat comes out so tender, it falls apart. Yum.

i use the continental range of dishes. curried sausages and chicken curry they are yummy

I love my slow cooker, I cook a variety of things in it including a roast chook or lamb, spaghetti bolognaise, curries or any type of casserole you like!! They are adaptable and if you go to Big W they have recipe books specific for slow cookers.

thanks

We just had slow cooked spaghetti bolognese for tea tonight….I started cooking it around 9.30 this morning, went to Playgroup, picked my niece and nephew up from school and only had to cook the pasta on the stove before saving. My toddler finished this meal quicker than any other!

So easy…I used chicken mince (well, I didn’t have mince, only fillets which I minced up in the food processor in no time), which I added to the slow cooker with a jar of passata, couple tablespoons of tomato paste, dried Italian herbs and anything else that might take your fancy! This time I quickly fried up some onion, capsicum and mushrooms on the stove and threw that in too (my cooker doesn’t have the capability to sear/brown food first, some do). The chicken mince I put in raw though browning its first might have given extra flavour, I just didn’t want to spend more time on dinner! My nephew thought it tasted great!

I’ve cooked meatballs in tomato sauce, a potato bake and creamed rice/rice pudding too

mmmm spare ribs are the best it them! brown on the stove top, throw in what ever flavours you like or a marinate, add a little water and cook 4hrs fast or 8hrs slow. Enjoy your new toy!

I cook pretty much anything in my slow cooker… From silverside to chicken noodle soup I also don’t follow the reciepes on the back… But my kids seem to live the country style chicken ! You can but the packet from woollies in the slow cooker section
Good luck
