Slow Cooker???

[Squeezyweezy]

Hi guys,

do any of you use a slow cooker for CCing? I am thinking of getting one (tesco £9) but not sure if I will use it.

On MFP in the recipes section, they have sooooo many recipes using them. Always come across them

I have the Tesco's one and it's good. I must admit, I had it for 9/10 months and never used it but I braved it few weeks ago and SC a whole roast chicken (just chucked whole chicken in as is with no water but skin removed and cooked on high for 5hrs. It came out beautifully flakey and lush I always cook thighs/legs in the SC but I'm a big fan of chicken - my other SC friends tell me cheap cuts of beef come out beautifully in their SC. They use it mainly for hearty stews

You can make really low cal stews in it.... Some cheap beef, couple of tins of tomatoes, veg(onions, peppers , carrots, mushrooms) and some herbs/garlic/worcester sauce.... It is fab x

I make beef stew about once a week in the winter. The whole meal comes to 400ish calories including potatoes, and is so lovely and delish.

There's a recipe section in this calorie counting part of the site and I think there's already a thread about slow cooker recipes. Go share the ones you guys have posted here, they sound lovely!
