your cooker must be stuffed.Our meals are never luke warm - always piping hot.And to make the gravyjust add some cornflour to the liquid towards the end of the cooking - easy.

I use mine regularly, It is great if we have osmething on after school and get home late. Tea can be ready when we get home apart from some quick final preparations.

And Buzzy, maybe there is something wrong with the thermostat or element of yours if the food is only luke warm.

buzzy's posts were from May last year.I hope she has not been waiting for a year for a response.

Oops LOL (I guess the crockpot isn't on special at New World either anymore then). Perhaps it would be handy if posts could have the year as part of the date so it is possible to see how old the thread is!

I love my slow cooker but I am the first to admit a lot of the things I make in it tend to taste the same (fault of the cook not of the cooker) but curry in the slow cooker is amazing! great way to use cheaper cuts of meat as well!

Pressure cookers are a fantastic item in the kitchen and time saving as well as cheap on power consumption. Just have to learn to use them and be creative. Can make the cheapest cuts of meat so tender. Use to tenderize cheap meat, remove pressure and then finish off cooking by adding your simmer sauces. Great for a quick curry.

I do think sometimes the spices can loose a little of their punch when using slow cookers, but I just add a little extra to add back the flavours. They definately have their uses. I have used mine just to keep homemade soup warm, when doing a sports fundraiser. I think the key is finding the right recipes for the style of cooking.

RAW chicken is fine.bones and all. Cooked bones are a definite NO NO. I give my Fella chicken frames and necks, wings when they are on slecial at the supermarket. Have even thrown him a whole bird (from the supermarket)once when we were out and he needed feeding.

Its a great feeling to come home from work and find your meal all cooked and smelling delicous in the crock-pot, and no dishes either

I usually just throw in some bite size veges and diced cheap meat and a tin of savoury tomatoes, then add an oxo cube, a teaspoon of garlic and some herbs. no water, it always tastes nice and everyone in the house likes it. I dont put potatoes in it because i like to have it with mashed potatoes. yum. Takes no time to prepare and so nice to come home to after work.

and New World have them this week for $44.95 (and I think it said you get 10 bonus fly buys points - but I might have imagined that) it wasn't a well-known brand and I didn't notice how big it was.
