Or get the best of both worlds and get one of the new ones that doubles as a slow cooker and a pressure cooker.Love mine!And finally managed to make "to die for" pork spare ribs (spare ribs of the past were always nice enough but not gluttonously addictive in the manner so many cook books suggest - they are now though!) :-)

Here is a yummy recipe from taste magazine

Tomato and chicken korma curry

Ingredients (serves 4)
390g (1 1/2 cups) Greek-style natural yoghurt
140g (1/2 cup) Patak's Korma Curry Paste
8 (about 2.2kg) large chicken thigh cutlets, excess fat trimmed
1 tbs vegetable oil
2 brown onions, halved, thinly sliced
2 large ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
100g baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves
Steamed rice, to serve

Method
Combine the yoghurt and curry paste in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to marinate.
Heat the oil a stockpot or heatproof casserole dish over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until golden.
Add the chicken and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, turning chicken occasionally, for 30 minutes. (Don't let the sauce boil, or the curry will curdle.) Stir in the tomato. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until chicken is tender and sauce thickens. Add the spinach. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until just wilted.
Place the chicken curry in a large serving bowl. Top with coriander leaves. Serve with steamed rice and pappadums

In a slow cooker
Carry out steps 1 and 2, using a large frying pan in step 2. In step 3, place the chicken mixture, onion, tomato and spinach in the slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low for 6 hours or until the chicken is tender. Continue from step 4.

I use whatever cheap beef stewing meat, cube it up, into crockpot with chopped onion, leeks, carrots, potatoes (I don't even peel the potatoes just quarter them) a tinof tomatoes and a packet of Maggi Cook in the Pot - any of the beef ones and then let it cook. If I liked them I would have added mushrooms as well but I don't lol
Then it cooks up and everything is in the dish so I can just serve it as it is without having to cook anything else.

Hot fruit salad: chop up a fresh pineapple. Add any other fruit you have, incluing dried apricots. Add a splash of red wine if you like and a cinnamon stick. Serve with vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche.
