Choosing & Buying My Crockpot 37401BC I've mentioned in one or two other reviews that we installed solar last October, and how we've been trying to make sure we have electric appliances to cook with when we're making lots of electricity, and then go back to the gas when we're not making much from it. Well I've been talking for a while about getting a proper sized slow cooker because the one we had is really tiny and would barely do meat for 2 of us and you certainly couldn't fit vegetables in there too, but it gave me the experience of using one a bit before I got a proper big one. I'd looked over various models but made no decisions, and then a few ...  Read the complete review

I've owned my crock pot for nearly four years now. I originally wanted a slow cooker after reading that they are a great money saving tool as you can use cheaper cuts of meat, which come out nice and tender. I also thought it would be ideal for winter time when I like to make a lot of stews and casserole type meals. I also thought it would be handy since I could make a meal in the morning and leave it in the slow cooker until evening, when I'm generally quite busy. I read lots of reviews and asked friends and family for recommendations before settling on a Crock Pot. The model I have is the 37401BC which has a 3.5 litre capacity. This size is recommended for a ...  Read the complete review

I was given our crock-pot slow cooker as a wedding present, though I believe that it will have cost about £30-£40 (sorry I can't be more precise but I didn't buy it!) It is definitely one of the most useful wedding gifts we were given and has been well used in the 3 months that we have been married. I love being able to make a tasty stew so easily. The night before we want to eat I'll chop the veg then I'll leave them in the bowl (switched off) overnight so in the morning all I have to do is add the meat and turn it on, then there's a lovely dinner waiting when my husband gets home from work and I haven't had to touch it all day! I know that this is a benefit ...  Read the complete review

This was given to me as a housewarming present and I honestly couldn't live without it. I've always been a fan of slowcookers, because my Mum had one when we were kids and I used to see how she's throw some ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and then we'd effortlessly have a nice meal in the evening. I can't fault this particular slow cooker - it is easy to use, you can fit a good amount of food in there and it's easy to wash. I don't know how much it cost (with it being a present) but I'd recommend it to anybody, you will soon make your money back from it. The product is perfect for the demands of modern life. This slow cooker comes ...  Read the complete review

I originally got this crock pot as a time saving device when both me and my husband were working full time. We didn't have time to cook a proper meal in the evening and so bought this on a recommendation from a website for busy women. I used to chop all the vegetables and meat in the morning before work, put it all in the slow cooker and set it off. When I got home from work, it would be smelling lovely and ready to eat. I liked the fact that it was all done in just the one pot and also that it was so easy to make a delicious, nutritious meal. This crock pot has two heating settings, low and high. If for any reason I wasn't able to get the meal ready in the morning ...  Read the complete review
