  Oh Duenan, the slow cooker is the best gadget ever in the kitchen. Whatever you cook on the stove, you can do in the slow cooker. Hmu when I’m sober. The slow cooker is my forte and I’m sure a lot of people here are the same.

    I’ll probably be seeking some advice in the future but simple sausages and curry sounds easy!

  Mine is only 5 litres. Two quarts in old money. It’s a very old (but still functional) original crockpot. I think I got in back in 1982 … has seen a lot of use since. My only complaint is that the crock part is not removable, so I have to be vigilant about washing it up so the electrics don’t get compromised. Modern ones are much easier to deal with - just put the insert in the dishwasher.

    I inherited one from my dad. It looks pretty small and is heavy as well but it does come in two parts.

    I’m not sure how many litres mine might be. Could be 5 as well?

      Measure with the next empty milk carton generated in your household. 5 litres is pretty small - only just holds a smallish chicken. Does chicken pieces pretty good though. Living alone, I don’t need anything much bigger than that. When the boyos and my late partner were in the house, I used it for like the meat part of the meal only, and did the rest on the stovetop or in the oven. The beautiful thing about a slow cooker is that it’s almost impossible to burn anything in it.

        Bringing up half memories of a pressure cooker. Small heavy bell thing on the top vent. And bloody Keens curry powder.
