Why use a slow cooker?

Why do we love the slow cooker so much? Because it is easy to do! With the way slow cooker technology has progressed in recent years with the invention of the instant pot and also the air fryer, there are now lots of options to choose from.

Picking a good slow cooker is worth spending some time doing to make sure that you get the right one for your family. Things to consider when buying a slow cooker:

• Size of pot - this determines how much you can cook at once.
• Cooking modes - do you want to just slow cook (cheaper) or have the ability to air fry, steam, even make yoghurt (yes you can do this in these!.
• Energy efficiency - Not all slow cookers are created equal. Some more powerful ones use more energy, so consider this when choosing.

Slow cooker meals

There are plenty of recipes to choose from when using a slow cooker. The benefit of slow cooking is that you can set it off before you go to work and then return later to an amazing smelling house and a meal cooked ready to serve.

These types of meals are useful for busy working family or those who don't have time to spend making a large meal. A simple set and forget method such as this slow cooked lamb stew recipe can be achieved so easily with a slow cooker.

Another easy recipe to try is slow cooker beef casserole. This is a very similar recipe to this one, but contains some button mushrooms and a red wine jus.

Slow cooking can be cheaper

Using up old cuts of meat or less tender pieces work well if cooked for a longer period of time. Dishes such as beef casserole work well in the slow cooker as the meat that goes in does not need to be a fine a cut.

This inevitably means that you can pick up beef for a stew at a cheaper price. Typically there is diced beef or stewing steak available for this and can be half the cost of a regular cut piece of beef. Cooked for a long slow time (around 8 hours) really breaks down the meat and makes it a fulfilling meal.

Making other dishes such as slow cooker chicken chasseur or slow cooker beef and cabbage will open up your use of the slow cooker. Cooking in bulk can save money in the long run too.

Hunters Chicken in the slow cooker

The key to making this dish a winner is keeping the moisture in the chicken meat. While the majority of succulence will come from the tomato and puree, ensuring the chicken is suitably wrapped in bacon at the start will really help.

Don't forget to remove the cocktail sticks before serving!!
