Slow cooker suggestions...

[Tony Ferous]

Ok a slow cooker isnt a recipe, but does anyone have recommendations for what kind to choose or if they are useful?

I really want it for convenience...id like to throw a hunk of meat and big chunks of veg into it walk away then be left with a few meals worth of food cooked in one hit with minimum washing and prep time.

I hear of people pluging them into timer switches to cut off after x hours if it doesnt have that function.

Other option is perhaps a steamer..?

thanks!!
