Slow Cookers

Help!
looking to buy my first and am lost on which to get, round? oval? 3.5L? 4.7L? bigger? so many choices....

depends how many of you there are. We have a large oval one, but since there are only two of us we end up freezing what's left. this isnt an issue if you like eating lots of the same stuff - I do :-)

We have two, one is small enough (3.5L) for just the two of us and the other one (6.6L) for when the family come around for dinner - the neat thing is we also have a divided bowl for the large one which comes in handy for curry, chilli and similar as i can have a silly hot one cooking on one side whilst the mrs has a milder one going on the other.

Buy a cheap one.

Thanks for the replies, it will be cooking just for me so looks like a 3.5L one will suffice, Argos/Tesco and the like have them for £20ish so not expensive.

Tip, don't put it in a cupboard & forget about it https://www.tesco.com/direct/tesco-scss12-3l-slow-...

Highly unlikely that will happen, lots of pork and beef will be cooked!

Our local Aldi had them on sale for £5 in the reduced price section - chek out your local Aldi to see if they have them as well.

I just cooked my first whole chicken in mine. The house smelt wonderful for hours.

£4 ham hock
An onion, a carrot, a stick of celery, 1/2 a cup of water
5-7 hrs

Falls apart!

Soft baps, butter, ketchup

I remember when they were free

Slow Cooker ordered from local Argos and meat order being delivered tomorrow from my local butcher

Just thought I would give a little update,
Not used the sc a lot as it is just me but have so far cooked..
Pulled Pork (need to experiment a little more)
Ribs- done these twice now and 2nd time they were lovely (1st time over cooked)
BBQ Chicken drumsticks - fantastic! the meat just falls off the bones

Will definately use it more once I go back to work but a very worthwhile small investment
