[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1900470, member: 345386"] Chocks - The prospect of cooking when it's not "your thing" can be a bit of a hill to climb, but as your mate suggests there are ways to get around this that needn't mean getting in touch with your inner Heston Blumenthal. Probably rather than being a hugely enthusiastic cook, I'd be more likely to say I'm an enthusiastic eater! I might be a skinny old wench, but I enjoy my food. :) As I have also been known to be a bit impatient, a slow cooker, whilst fantastic, does mean being prepared well in advance, and making sure the thing is loaded to cook over the longer cooking time. My OH, who is the main cook in the house has always used a pressure cooker, but I was always somewhat terrified of the thing; with tales of them blowing up and all sorts. For me, that was his baby and he could look after it. When our slow cooker went to slow cooker heaven (cracked inner cooking pot), I declared that what came into the kitchen next had to do more than just sit bubbling on a worktop for hours on end. Sooooooooooo, cutting to the chase, I ended up buying us a new electric pressure cooker, which can also slow cook, make soup, rice and various other things. In essence, it's a fast slow cooker! I can do the same things as a slow cooker would make in 6 or 8 hours in well under an hour - sometimes - soup for instance - in under half an hour. I bought the brand [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] mentioned, but there are loads and loads of them around - and some quite a bit cheaper than the brand I bought. I went for that brand as I specifically wanted a stainless steel inner cooking pot, rather than a non-stick variant, but that was a personal choice. There are loads of gadgets to me cooking easier and quicker. [/QUOTE]
