I've already got a large, slow cooker. She wasn't like that when I met her. :disappointed:

Highly recommend a large slow cooker like this, especially great at cooking whole meat joints.

Roll up some foil into balls and flatten slightly then pop a whole chicken on top, pour a little chicken stock, garlic etc into the bottom, stick on low for 8 hours or more & you'll b get the softest most succulent chicken even that just falls off the bone.

Cheaper cuts of beef like brisket work really well too. Pork with Apple & cider. Turn it on and got out for the day come home to amazing hit meal that's cost next to nothing in electricity to cook.

£17 for a 6.5L slow cooker with a long warranty, brilliant!

Good to hear what people put in their slow cookers. Like to keep it simple myself. Today, shoved some chicken thigh fillets in there, threw a tin of balti curry in there, chopped a pepper and left it all day on low. Lovely. Stocked up on toilet roll fortunately as well.

It doesn't really, for tender meat such as chicken thighs. I swear some people just like to prepare it all in advance so they can come in the door from work, to lovely cooking smells and dinner ready - fairynuff. It comes into it's own with cheaper, tough cuts of meat that would take about three hours in a conventional oven, eg. oxtail. I did ribs in mine, which actually came out so tender that when i went to pick the first one up, the bone slid right out in my fingers. They were actually too tender and falling apart!

Word of warning - unless you batch cook a lot of large portions of food, this cooker is MASSIVE. I got one this size and no word of a lie you could bathe a small baby in it! A packet of chicken thighs would be lost in it.

This is a great deal! My 6.5ltr slow cooker is a few years old and using it a few days a week I worry it'll break and I'll be done for. Might buy one to keep for when it does happen!

I currently have a huge beef joint in mine ready for Sunday lunch, it is an ideal size for us. Family of five, often plenty of food left for second helpings or leftovers for lunch the next day.

For me, any cut of meat tastes better slow cooked all day in there than a shorter time in a regular pot. Especially with something like curry where it has all day to marinate in with the spices etc.

Heat, good size and good price.
