Off the back of this thread, somewhere about page one or two, I ended up buying a slow cooker. Still haven't used the thing. Apparently you have to layer everything just so, and the stuff needs to be hot when it goes in, so I'm told. Well if I have to half cook it first I may as well just use the wok until its done, I'm really wondering whether Crock Pot is a crock of ****. From what I can tell, I have to get up ridiculously early to half make my dinner, but wait till evening to eat it? Doesn't work well with my schedule. Not sure I thought it through. I had the idea you could just bung in the ingredients for a stew the night before and it would be ready by lunchtime. Maybe I should have read the instructions before I ordered it. So far it's sat taking up about a quarter of my available prep space and is gathering dust. Hmm.
Since we got an Instant Pot we seldom use the crock pots,... we had five I think, got rid of some, still have two but one is really small. They're great for chili or soups.My findings exactly! I used mine once and it was such a faff compared to using a casserole dish on the hob, I didn't bother again and donated it to the charity shop as it washed up as new and I still had the box. I suppose I could have chanced it and taken it back to the shop. I bought a large double-handled saute pan, which can be used on the hob and in the oven ... which can be set on a timer, so in effect, everything the slow-cooker promised.
How have you got on with it?I finally ordered an Air fryer from Tower.
Whatever you were told is false.Apparently you have to layer everything just so, and the stuff needs to be hot when it goes in, so I'm told.
