They are all pretty cheap to be honest. Well worth it.

I think ours is just a Black & Decker. Never had an issue. Any known kitchenware brand should be ok (Crock Pot, Sunbeam etc.)
Yeah, there is nothing really intricate about slow cookers.
What do people think of pressure cookers? My Dad loves his. I've never used one.

You cook for me I cook for you
Cooks stuff faster and produces same flavour as oven really.
Secret to slow cookers is cooking time, the longer the better.

Reading up on both, and majority of people prefer the pressure cooker and actually say foods taste better with it. Leaning more towards a pressure cooker now, or even one of those 5 in 1 cookers, though I haven't looked into prices of those yet :|

Can anyone suggest a cheap* but good slow cooker? Definitely need one
*Absolutely no idea on prices
I got mine from Aldi for $20
You cook for me I cook for you
but can you cook?
Yeah I can cook. I haven't posted anything on this forum because I've been eating pizzas & pastas and getting fat off of decentish food with no effort involvedbut can you cook?
I'm a BBQ maestro, totally awesome on it. Can cook anything, even pancakes. And I can work with most proteins, chicken & fish are my best. That suggestion I made about stuffed mushrooms,
Love cooking with gas, hate cooking with electric, just can't get the same consistency and heat. In my opinion, only thing electric is good for is consistent simmering (pastas, soups, stocks, bolognese). Depends on what takes your fancy, I always liked to try traditional food from different cultures.I might be a bit rusty though...
I only have a slow cooker, sounds like they are better for soups or stews/casseroles which is all I usually use it for anyway but a pressure cooker is more useful if you want to cook a lot more stuff like big chunks of meat like silverside or chicken.

I have a horrible electric stove so use a camp burner connected to a gas bottle out on the patio
You can either go outside and fry eggs in 5 minutes or you can wait 10 minutes for the electric to heat up and then wait another 10 minutes for the eggs to cook even on full heat

My old stove was a halogen cook top and temp control was really poor. If i needed to cook something on low heat or simmer i would use a butane gas portable stove, very handy. Now i have a gas stove/oven.
