We love our slow cooker...

24th March, 2011

With the cooler days now making themselves known and a new baby in our midst we decided to break out our slow cooker this week and I have to say it has been fantastic.

We have just added Corned Beef to the site and so I decided to give that a go on Monday night - it was fantastic! Corned Beef is something I haven't had since I was a kid, but it is such a great classic meal. I put it in with some cloves, bay leaves, pepper, malt vinegar, a little brown sugar and water and cooked it on high for 5 hours. Served with mash and fresh green beans.

Having a 6 week old baby the slow cooker certainly makes life a little easier, especially in the evening when I'm trying to cook dinner, organise the bottles for the next day, bath, feed and settle our little one for the night. I loved it so much I've used it 3 out of 4 nights this week!
