Message: <blockquote data-quote="Antje77" data-source="post: 2304031" data-attributes="member: 372207">I found the perfect new slow cooker in the thrift store for 10 euro's, and I'm so happy with it!Granted, I had to buy new wicks as well, and had to improvise for the part where you put the pot, as this part turned out not to belong to the cooker so it was wobbly. But who cares, it's perfectly stable with the thing from my grill and I'll find a smaller grill-thing (what's it called in English?) which will fit better.I now have a slow cooker to fit my Ginormous Pot instead of having to do balancing acts on the old one or borrowing (and cleaning!) the one from my neighbour <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Usual sized pot, old cooker and small dog included in the picture for size <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />In the pot is tomorrow's meal (and many more subsequent meals).Onion, garlic, bell pepper, couple of carrots, fennel, some celeriac, tomatoes, chilli peppers, ginger, leek, mushrooms, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, concentrated tomato paste, herb stock cube, and 1.5 kilograms of oxtail.Tomorrow I'll take the meat off the bones and freeze in portions.I'll use it as a base for my favourite sauerkraut dish: I'll add sauerkraut, creme fraiche, normal cream (not sure which one it is in English, you seem to have different creams on your side of the Channel) and lots of paprika to make a dish reminding of Eastern Europe.Let's hope I have enough freezer containers <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />(And for whoever missed my first oxtail adventure, yes I'm cooking in the bathroom. It has doors I can close so I'm sure no cats will make an oxtail and lamp-oil soup in my kitchen!)edit: Oh, and wine! All wine not in that bottle anymore is in the pot! It's not like I'm chilling in my bathroom with a bottle of red or such!<img src="https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118765700_10221729886390746_6630138314825339575_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=UXQf1aeNWe4AX-wA_fv&_nc_ht=scontent-amt2-1.xx&oh=5c35f56c9f6bb47434dfb92671b6a4ca&oe=5F7863DC" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
