After being at Imis I've decided to buy one - I lie I managed to get my OH to agree to buy one tonight haha Didn't even have to flutter my eyes! He must be ill!

Anyway I use to buuy stuff like this for the kitchen only they never got used but Imis told me how easy they can be & a lazy way - I like lazy

I love stews but haven't bothered in sooooo long - I hate making em in pots so little preperation sounds good to me ...

Used mine tonight for a beef stew. Onions and carrots in with stewing steak, then add a pint of beef stock and a tin of chopped tomatos. I left it on low all day when I was out and it was ready for 5pm. Added dumplings and left for another 40 mins. Tasted fab - and Seren ate loads.
