This is one of the most useful pieces of equipment in my lovely kitchen. I use this for all sorts of recipes- Spaghetti Bolognese, Chilli, Stew, Cooking a whole chicken, etc. If I am baking a steak pie I cook the inside of the pie in the slow cooker before I transfer it to the pastry. As it cooks things slowly it does involve a bit of planning, but the beauty of this is that if you are not sure what time members of the family will need to eat the dish will happily sit until everyone arrives without the risk of burning or over cooking. The flavours of your dish are brought out by the slow cooking and the slow cooker takes very little power.Sallihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04698162072086210778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751621669281503328.post-22469830628405362942015-04-06T18:40:00.000+01:002015-04-11T21:24:02.871+01:00About Me<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi my name is Salli Marsden and I would like to share with you my passion for cooking- not your fancy stuff but everyday cooking for the family. I like nothing better than to be in my kitchen.. whether it be lunch, dinner, cakes or bread and I affectionately refer to my kitchen as 'my empire'...</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My great passion is bread and I try to make time to bake my own as it is so easy and so much better than shop bought stuff. I also love kitchen gadgets and will hopefully share with you some information of those that I cannot live without !</span></div>
