| | I think it's a slow cooker isn't it? One of those electric pots you can casserole things in all day on a very low heat. I had one for a wedding present and used it a couple of times, but the novelty of frying the meat early in the morning to seal it soon wore off! So I gave it to my mum, I wonder if she still has it! |

| Yes, it is a slow cooker and I use mine all the time and will be buying one for our villa. It's great to put something in there, hit the parks and come back to a lovely slowly caseroled dinner. As for the time taken to fry off the meat beforehand, you can do this in 30 seconds in the microwave, using the same dish, then just pop it into the slow cooker base, add the other ingredients and Robert's your father's brother. Yummy!

Thanks for that. I think we might have had one as a wedding present - shaped like a chicken. Went to a car boot sale unused 20 years later probably.

 Shaped like a chicken!
That'd be a chicken brick Drew! It's for roasting chickens in without getting the oven splattered with grease and for keeping the flavour in. A crockpot is an entirely different thing!
I can tell how often you do any 'cheffing'!  |

| Have to add a bit in support of 'slow cookers'. Use mine most of the winter for great stews and casseroles. I've never pre sealed anything I've cooked, and it still turns out great.Will be getting one for the villa next time we are out.They run on minimum electric too. Much cheaper than having a casserole dish in the main or secondary oven.

| I would like to add my support of slow cookers too. Bought one earlier this year and it's great. I do everything from a whole chicken to a curry; never brown anything first and it's lovely. My youngest is funny about eating meat but she'll eat it out of there (as long as I drain any gravy off because she doesn't like that - not that she's fussy !) because it is so tender. great idea to have in a rental. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| Long Live the Slow Cooker...fantastic, shove something in to cook when I go to work then dish it up when we all get in....love it.
Had a Chick Brick too, it cooked chicken beautifully! | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

A nick (noun) could be a number of things - a police station or prison or a groove down the side of a printing press to ensure the type is straight or a shallow cut. As a verb it might be just in time or to steal or arrest or cheat.
Thanks, those were hard ones to figure out. |

| I use our crock pot a lot due to the 12 hour shifts i do. Only problem is i seem to cook the same thing in it all the time, Chicken stew or Beef stew. Anyone out there with some other recipes and The Grove Family would be very grateful.

What's a crockpot?
To be on the safe side I've suggested they bring their own but I wonder what they are going to be doing.
