Slow Cookers
The Slow cooker is a great invention. When you are seriously struggling for something to cook or you are stuck for time when you have finished work the slow cooker is your saviour. You can prepare everything the night before, stick it all in the slow cooker then set the timer to turn on the next day. By the time you get home a delicious meal is waiting. I usually combo my meal with a jacket potato wizzed in the microwave with some melted butter on.
You can buy whole cook books now for the slow cooker – one of my favourites is pork and apple with cider or beef with shallots, carrots and thick gravy. My mum makes some great soups in her slow cooker.
