    I have one of these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tefal-Rk302e..._title_kitchen - Not quite as many functions as the one Blaggard posted though. Half the capacity too. But... I live alone.

    If I didn't already have it, I'd be tempted by the intellichef, like Blaggard - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Morphy-Richa...ref=pd_cp_kh_2

    Very minor addition here, but my favourite recipe so far is quite simply a cheap pork joint from Aldi (here in the UK) and nothing more. No stock needed as you get the juice come out of the meat. Leave on low heat whilst you're at work, then when you return the pork is cooked to perfection with literally zero hassle, low cost and minimal prep! Enough juice comes out to thicken with gravy salt to make the perfect gravy too. You can remove the fat and blast under the grill to make some crackling too.

    Of course if the aim is to impress with lots of flavours, stick with a full recipe, but if you fancy a delicious, cheap and easy meal then this is a winner every time. We pick up some cheap packet stuffing mix and apple sauce then stick it all in a crusty cob.

    I'm back on a post Christmas diet now so sadly won't be cooking this any-time soon but definitely worth a shot if you are new to slow cooking!

    Is the heat control analogue on the Intellichef? ... Like the Ramsay 1 I mentioned in the other thread.
    I'm looking for a bigger 1 than my Ramsay 1, with analogue control that goes down to 50 degrees so I can do some sous vide cooking like I can with the Ramsay 1.
    The temperature control of my Ramsay 1 is great but the capacity is a bit small for other stuff like soups, stews and big lumps of meat I want fully submerged while slow cooking.

    Did a Chilli for the first time in it yesterday and it was fantastic:

    I used a Mums knows Best recipe - ish

    Kilo of Lean Steak mince browned off first
    2 x 400g Chopped Tomatoes
    2 x 400g Asda own Mixed beans in Tom Sauce
    2 x Tablespoons of Tomato Puree
    Couple of good teaspoons of Cumin
    1 Dried Birds eye Chilli
    1 x Fresh Banana Chilli
    3 large onions, 1 diced and 2 sliced fried off in olive oil first
    1 large green and 1 large red pepper chopped
    a dozen or so sliced mushrooms

    Then I left it on Medium for 2 hours then low for 4 hours and it was lovely, nice amount of heat as well as being very tasty.

    It fed 3 of us for tea (wife is a veggie so not for her)

    I still have a good 2 portions left more if you have it with rice and pittas.


    Cheers

    Chesser.

    Here's another one I have on at the moment.

    Slow cooker stuffed peppers

    Stuffing = chickpeas, brown rice, onion, fresh mint, and fresh parsley, garlic and salt and pepper to season

    Liquid is just a vegetable stock

    Like the look of that... would replace the green pepper with another red or yellow though.
    Never got on with green peppers.. They taste of burps !

    Well just had the stuffed peppers. Nice bit needed a little more salt sprinkled on top. Apart from that, very healthy and filling

    That was a 2.5kg smoked ham that was done in the coke recipe.
    I've been away in Leeds since 5 this morning got home and am currently eating it on a few slices of bread.

    If anything I could do with a little mustard on the sandwich. Other than that it's f****n amazing

    A friend does basically same thing but with cous cous !!!!! I think he puts lids on em to keep moisture in (on the peppers I mean)
    Had his and love it.... He does stick a piece of lamb in between the peppers whilst in the slow cooker though.. and why not !

    For new years I got a massive shoulder of pork... placed on top of sliced onions in slow cooker...
    Had soaked a few varieties of dried beans night before... not too many.
    Made a dry rub BBQ night before e.t.c

    Slow cooked the lot all afternoon on new years then if anyone got hungry round the in laws they just grabbed a roll and stuffed it with some pulled pork....
    There was easily 30 peeps and it went down a treat...


    Last hour or so I just spent a bit of time skimming all the liquid fat that floated to surface and that was it..

    IMHO slow cookers need shoulder of pork (or belly), never Loin.

    Shit me powers just gone off... lets see how long my UPS lasts ;-(

    I disagree mate I have done loin twice now for about 6 hours makes great pulled pork and very lean, I take it out shred it mix with a BBQ sauce and choice then back in to keep warm and it's fab with fresh bread buns.

    6 hours is still a long cook, cheaper cuts need longer to melt the connective tissue and it DOES give more flavour but 6 hours for a loin is pretty long. . .also with BBQ types of meal you are adding bags of flavour. . .I make both of you right!

    Just seen this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B.../?tag=ho01f-21 - 6.5 litres for £20. Thought it may be useful for some on here.

    We did this one yesterday, from the Slimming World book, it was fucking fantastic. We're big Slowcooker users as we both have busy lives so it's great for us. We'd never used bouquet garni before, and I was skeptical, but it really did make this dish. The sauce was fantastic, and you can have as much as you like. We used Severn Dale Farm (Aldi) beef stewing steak. Cooked it for around 6 hours.




    Beef Stew

    ingredients

    • 12 shallots
    • Fry Light
    • 2 carrots
    • 380g braising steak, all visible fat removed
    • 1 level tbsp tomato purée
    • 1 bouquet garni
    • 170g closed cap mushrooms
    • 2 level tsp onion gravy granules
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • Freshly chopped parsley, to garnish

    method

    • Peel the shallots. Heat a large pan sprayed with low calorie cooking spray, add the shallots and fry for 5 minutes until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
    • Slice the carrots, place in the pan with the steak, tomato purée, bouquet garni and 800ml pints water. Cover and simmer for 1½ hours.
    • Halve the mushrooms, add to the pan with the shallots and simmer for a further 20 minutes. Sprinkle over the gravy granules and stir until thickened. Season to taste, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

    Tip: If you can't find shallots, you can use 2 onions, peeled and sliced.
