I recently got one and am still experimenting. I've done basic beef casseroles (a couple with red wine) which were quite nice - also chicken thighs in a sachet of schwartz slow cooker sauce (powder form). TBH - I'm not a huge fan of casseroles and stews but my husband has enjoyed everything so far.

Looking forward to some ideas from others on here.

Oh yeah I also did a gammon in coca cola at Christmas - turned out well.

Basically you just chuck everything in with a bit of stock.

Good luck

Sounds ok Soozy. I think I might have to trawl the net tomorrow and see what there is. I only need a small one as it's only for me 

At the minute I'm coming in from work about 5-5.30 and not eating untill about 7ish by the time i've done stuff in the house and then can't be arsed to cook a meal so I put something in the michaelwave or the oven and I know this is wrong.

I use mine occasionally.  Cooks food v. nicely, although I like to seal the meat in a frying pan sometimes (depending on what I'm cooking).  My son has even cooked lamb chops in his.  Apparently they come out nicely browned and he's still alive to tell the tale.


It'd be ideal for you Sprout.  Just sling it all in the pot in the morning and you'll come home to a ready cooked meal after work. If you're short on time in the morning either prep the veg the night before or buy the ready diced.

Oh and someone gave me a George Foreman grill as a Christmas present! are they any good or shall I just shove it to the back of the cupboard

Depends whether you've got one of the newer models, which I presume is the case. You'll have removable plates that can be cleaned in the sink/dishwasher. I've just thrown an old one out coz I couldn't be bothered with cleaning it, but it seemed to be good for what I wanted it for

They vary in sizes, Sprout and you don't have to fill 'em right up to the top anyway!

Also, you could cook enough for 2 or 3 evening meals and freeze a couple of them?
Probably be more economical for you and save even more time - just defrost the night before and stick it on reheat.  The cooking world's about to be your lobster

I'm sure my cooker has a sensor on it and turns itself to 'keep warm' once the food is cooked.

It`s good katty, does great chops,steaks etc but the grease catcher tray is far too small. My work top was floating. 

I put a bigger plastic tray under it..or you can just use a plate. It tilts it back slightly but it still works fine.
