I love my slow cooker! I do chilli, stews, joints of meat, spag bol, soups in it! The package looks exciting!

 

[becki2009]

It's coconut oil. I'm quite impressed. ..!

Do you find they go mushy and watery though? I think it's because I put mine on at 8am when I leave and don't eat until 7/8pm so it's on for nearly 12 hours...

 

[becki2009]

I've started adding my veg an hour before its ready. But if you are out the house all day it will go mushy..even if it's cut really chunky! I'm not a fan to be honest, I only use it now if I need to

Maybe I'll do that. I'm not sure BNS would cook enough in that time though? I love the convenience of it, I just haven't enjoyed the last couple of meals so much...

I think so. He's cooking a three course meal as well

Maybe I'll do that. I'm not sure BNS would cook enough in that time though? I love the convenience of it, I just haven't enjoyed the last couple of meals so much...

The only thing I've enjoyed from my SC is pulled pork. I thought you were a huge fan of slow cooking. It's nice to have a meal to come home to but it doesn't take long to prepare a nice meal from scratch!

I know! I don't really know what's changed! I think I've just been put off a bit after my super sweet chilli on Tuesday....

I mainly only put it on low for 6 hours at most. They should invent timer ones! Also, I don't add as much liquid to things as I would if I cooked it in the oven!

I really enjoyed the spag bol I did in mine recently! The veg wasn't too bad as I just cut the onions chunky and I think I chucked in froZen spinach other that that, and that's always soft and mushy!
I'm not really a fan of stews or casseroles...but slow cooked pulled pork and spag bol...hell yeah!

Rick sounds like such a val day cutie!! Are you doing anything for him?!! Xx

I think I might invest in a timed plug! Thanks for the tip

I found my Spag Bol very watery, but I think it's the veg I add in as I didn't put in much liquid at all.

Mmmm Spag Bol... Maybe I'll stick that ok next weeks menu xx

Haha! Never thought of this!!! I bought one for my Christmas lights...might dig it out for when I'm back at work!

How do they work? x

They're an adapter you plug into and set the time for when you want the appliance / light / thing to come on so I could switch on the slow cooker at 8 but set the time for 12 and it won't come on until then x

Tea-



Rick wasn't very impressed and half of his ended in the bin. I thought it was okay . The parsnip and sweet pot mash was nice but maybe the chicken had a different taste. .mmm

 

[becki2009]

Found the reason why rick was so eager to bin my food! We planned an evening on the sofa to watch prison break...he pulls out a bottle of red and a small bag of pork scratchings to share. I'd been good all day so thought why not, will be a nice treat...then he pulls out a box of maltesters, then another bottle of red...then another bag of scratchings which I ate all to myself..4 episodes later and I must of ate and drank a million calories..now I feel **** today, still cold and sore throat, and a fuzzy head!

I have no motivation to say no!!!
