[QUOTE="forge, post: 612898, member: 118650"] Jokes aside, [USER=120794]@johnboy412000[/USER] We bought a slow cooker recently and it is the easiest thing to cook with and it cooks large quantities so you can make your own frozen meals Ours cost $20 Australian the next prices were about $50 and the dearer ones cost more than $100 The $20 cooker works fine and came with 3 recipes and the net has plenty more recipes. The modus operendi is 1) Put all the ingredients in the pot then select slow fast or automatic. (just use automatic until you get used to it). 2) After about 8 hours give or take an hour you can lift out the inner pot and serve it at the table. Some hints [LIST=1] [*]If the recipe talks about browning meat do not bother it makes no difference (quote Jamie Oliver) [*]You can take the lid off after a couple of hours and give it a stir, but you should not be opening it up often just leave it alone. [*]If you want to save power - place a small cushion on top of the lid and wrap the cooker in a thick towel but leave the controls exposed [*]If you do wrap the cooker in a toowel it will keep cooking for more than an hour after it is turned off. [/LIST] Here is a recipe that came with our slow cooker Chilli Con Carne Cooking Instructions Place all the ingredients into the slow cooker, Cover and cook on low for 8 hours (slightly more or less time will not affect the result). Serving instructions Spoon into individual bowls. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, chopped tomato, avocado and parsley. Ingredients 2 lge onions chopped 1 teaspoon garlic crushed 750 grams minced beef 2 cans tomatoes chopped 1 can kidney beans 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce. PS. you can vary the ingredients the time and method remains the same. For example; add wine or diet coke or diet orange for some great exotic tastes. [/QUOTE]
