| Steelsy My cooker broke down two months ago and I'm using "temporary methods" of cooking till I can empty six large bookcases to allow access to get a new cooker in and the old one out - don't ask... I also got a single ring that can be used on the kitchen top from Lakeland, about £15 and has proved most useful. I've used my slow cooker to cook pasta and potatoes and also poach fruit so you can have "afters". Otherwise I've given up using special recipes, just cook something stewlike and bung it in till cooked. Sue |

| Just today I bought a slow cooker cookbook by Catherine Atkinson (good name!). Its an absolutely great book, recommend it to anyone. It was only 4.99. Tonight we had the sausage casserole - fantastic. There are recipes for cakes, puddings, soups, and all manners of things that I didn't know you could do with a slow cooker. Can't wait to try out something else.

| Once you get into using it you will wonder how you got along without one. I find it invaluable if we are off out for the day - can come home to a wonderful meal ready to eat as soon as you get in. Makes wonderful stock too as it doesn't boil too hard |

| Got two! One was a wedding gift with a lovely china crockpot, the other is a muti thing, does steaming, rice cooking and slow cooking. I use the new one for rice and some steaming but the old one is a better slow cooker. Lamb in redcurrent is fantastic - wonderful with really fresh crust bread. |
