    Any use for a 'dead' slow cooker?

    I've been left with the outer 'oven' bit of a slow cooker after the dish inside was broken during the washing up

    We've replaced the whole unit as I couldn't get a replacement bowl, but it left me wondering - I've now got something that heats up.....

    Can anyone think of a good use for it? I hate throwing things away that still work

    Hee hee hee. A FAR worse hoarder than me!

    How about a heated propagator? Actually, how hot does it get? Might be far too hot.

    A footspa?

    I'd NEVER get that one past Mr R. It'd be in the skip I'm afraid...

      Ever considered making candles? A cookpot (ANY cookpot, eg from charity shop) which is 'not good enough fit for proper cooking' might still be fine for melting wax for candle making, or some comparable 'craft' idea......

      With a bit of ingenuity you may find a way to adapt it as a dryer for whatever you might want to dry....

            It would probably work as a greenhouse heater. Put it below the seed-shelf (with protection against drips) and it would warm quite a bit of space above it.

                    If you use the hard hat idea, can we have pics?

                    I was going to suggest heated propogator, depending on how low it can go (there's a song in there, somewhere). I would be wary about using it for too long without the bowl, though, as these things tend to be designed to conduct their heat through the neighbouring surface and may overheat if that surface isn't there. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer for the bowl?

                      I think it would get too hot. It would just cook the seeds.

                              I'snt it strange how we all do this with old electrical items,, everything electrical that We dispose of we always remove the plug (as it may be needed one day) , thing is everything now comes with fitted plugs so we have loads of plugs with no uses,,, maybee we should just save the fuses ?
