Slow cookers are great , used to have one with a pottery lid and nothing evaporated , now got one with a glass lid and we get a bit of evaporation , so can't leave it all day
just pile in the veg and meat and leave it , ha ho several hours later great meal
They're great for brisket. I sit it on onions and carrots and add a few drops of Lea and Perrins or brown sauce with a tiny bit of water and just cook for five hours or so on low. I mash the veg a bit and stir it all into the juices to make a gravy. I sometimes stick a few sprigs of rosemary into the top as well
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Whole chickens , we cook it in a "chicken brick" , a clay pot we bought years ago which you soak in water before cooking , it takes hours and the chicken just falls to pieces and nice and moist but can't leave it for ever

Has anyone tried cooking fish in it? A tagine or something like that perhaps?
I'm getting a cookbook with 1000 recipes for slow cookers, so I shall have fun experimenting.
I agree; overcooked fish would be horrid.

Hello again , personally I don't put Cauliflower or Brocoli in but everything else , plus herbs , garlic , chillies , mushrooms anything I fancy
beef and pork seem to do the best
another favourite is a gammon joint with chopped apple and cider
good job I have just had my dinner other wise I would be feeling hungry
just remembered my good lady did lamb shanks last Sunday in the slow cooker they where fabulous
Stew and dumplings tonight - in a fast cooker
Artjak I do a tagine in mine its delish.
Agree with not putting in cauli or broccoli.
Think you will really love yours. Its great to just throw everything in, in the morning and come back to it hours later.....brill
