Re:Slow Cooker £20 wilkinsons

The metro ran a piece on £200 slow cookers. Wilkinsons are knocking them out for £20. The idea is that slow cooking tenderises cheap cuts of meat. You chop up your braising steak, throw in some stock, some seaconal veg put the lid on turn the switch and it slow cooks while your out slaving for the system. You get home, wet and misrable and behold comfort food. Get slow cooking reciepies off the web, cheap veg off the market and cheap meat off the butcher and everyones a winner. I've used mine about 6 times in the last week and it rules. Leftovers go in the foil takeaway containers from the pound shop so I've stopped eating rubbish. Give it a go. The cookers are electric. Good luck

Slow cookers are fab. I bought my Crock Pot for about the same price as the ones Patrick mentions. They are so easy to use, and meals work out cheaper too.

Slightly off topic, may I recommend the Remoska cooking unit? Lakeland supply them, and they are excellent - the element is in the lid, and you can do just about anything in them, including casseroles, roasts and cakes.

Although a good cook, here in France I wouldn't be without mine - it's brilliant, and saves using a normal oven. (During the winter I use a woodburning range, so the Remoska is usually put away until the Spring).

For working parents especially, a slow cooker is a godsend. I swear by mine all through the winter. I made Lamb Tagine last night, with a cheap cut of shoulder and it is absolutely delicious! The meat is "falling off the bone" as we cook's say! And no Mitchum there is not enough for the 5,000 this time!
You can pick up a Tesco's own slow cooker for about a tenner! You can't beat that!

Take care for now FoS x
