Cooking Brides..

I'm debating whether or not to register for a slow cooker..I've never seen my parents use one, and I'm afraid I'll probably never use it. However, every1 says its great...

Do you have one? If so do you use it? Is it necessary?

Re: Cooking Brides..

even though i havent used one before..i want one really bad, i loove to cook and i think it would make things like stews and whatnot so much easier..i say register for it..no harm so why not

Re: Cooking Brides..

see that's the thing..I'm not a stew person..my main diet consists of pasta, chicken, occasional steak, and some fish..what else can slow cookers make?

Re: Cooking Brides..

It's certainly not a necessity but I have one and I love it. I use it to make pot roast, soup, pulled pork, chicken, all kinds of things! You can do a search and find tons of recipes. IMO, they are worth it.

Re: Cooking Brides..

LOVE mine!

I use it for baked beans, bbq chicken legs, pot roast, etc.

Re: Cooking Brides..

LOVE my slow cooker!!! it makes everything so much easier... great recipes on allrecipes.com but you can do basically all types of meat plus soups, sauces etc. I set mine up before I go to work, put it on low, and come home to a cooked dinner!

Re: Cooking Brides..

I've never used one but I put it on the registry; always wanted one. I will make good use of it.

Re: Cooking Brides..

I love mine...it sreally nice because you can prepare something the night before, then in the morning just turn it on and when you get home dinner is all ready

I've used mine only for pulled pork (we only got it recently) but I plan on making soups and stews and such

Re: Cooking Brides..

I make a lot of use out of mine in the fall and winter...it's great for comfort foods.

Re: Cooking Brides..

def put it on.
its one of the easiest and best things!
Fh loves it!

Re: Cooking Brides..

omg you can make everything in them theyre amazing!!

Re: Cooking Brides..

i want one so that way when I get home from work dinner will be ready since FH commutes to White Plains and Im usually exhasted when i get home from work.

Re: Cooking Brides..

I LOVE MY SLOW COOKER! It is so easy to make a good meal and you barely have to do any prep work!

Re: Cooking Brides..

i always wanted one and thought that it would make dinner so easy and it would be wonderful that dinner would be ready when i get home from work. When I moved in with FH (over a year ago) my aunt gave me her old one.....I still haven't used it! I'd say look thru the recipes, see if they're things you're really gonna make. If not, get something you're really gonna use that will not waste up valuable cabinet space

Re: Cooking Brides..

Absolutely. You will find yourself using it all the time

Re: Cooking Brides..

I LOVE MINE!! We make stew, pot roast, chicken cacciatore like things, sauce, whole chickens, pea soup... I've even baked pumpkin bread in it! AND they are perfect for holiday get togethers. We use them to keep mashed potatoes, veggies, stuffing warm. It helps not having to time everything so close together.

Re: Cooking Brides..

They're great, I asked for one on my registry. Its not necessary, but if you have one you will prob. end up using it a lot.

Re: Cooking Brides..

We registered for one. FH wants to make chili in it and I think pot roast?

Re: Cooking Brides..

im definitely getting one... i also wanna register for a rotiserie... set it and forget it... my dad is a cooking gadget infomercial freak... he gets everything... and hes had his rotiserie for like 5 years.... its the greatest... i also wanna register for a slicer, like a deli slicer. ... my parents have that too and its also the coolest!
