Shopping around for a slow cooker.
Since I work late and have very little time in the evening, long elaborate meals (which I LOVE to make on weekends) aren’t so appealing for this cook on workdays. So I’ve decided my next purchase will be a nice slow cooker with lots of room - enough for a roast, a pot of soup, or a stew for 8. Looking for the best one, however, brought up a whole stew (mind the pun) of other small appliances from the net. The covered BBQ-pit. A new rice cooker. (Ours is uh…old.)
Using individual appliances instead of your element all the time also saves a bundle on your hydro bill. So should I take over my counter space with gadgets that I’d actually use? Well, considering that a decent slow cooker is less than $50, and a slow cooking BBQ-pit is around $100, why not?

Slow cooker is always good so we do not to wait standing in the kitchen all the time…I have few of them, because I love cook. Have a nice day.

My mom used to use a “pressure cooker” which uses low temperatures over an extended period of time. Is this the same as a slow cooker? I’ll check out that link, as I’ve been wanting to check out such devices. I’ve a rice cooker, but it is very small (i’m just a single guy, afterall).
