Erm... gender stereotyping eh?
I have slo-cooker (known in the US as a "crock-pot") and I use it regulary to feed the family. If you're not feeding the five thousand (like me) then look out for a smaller capacity one.
It's great if you want to eat as soon as you come in the door in the evening, and can turn a really cheap cut of meat into something very tasty. It can also be used for lots more than the traditional stews, just remember that you don't need too much liquid, and it won't thicken sauces like the usual oven cooking method.
There are a number of good cook books out there dedicated to slow cooking. I have this one: . It pretty much covers everything: soup and starters, seafood, meat, poultry/game, veggies/vegetarian, and even desserts and cakes!
Edit: the one I use is on offer @ Argos for ... Bargain!! :thumbup:

Best thing to do with slow-cookers is to throw them away and learn to use your oven

Our oven has a slow cook facility so not a problem there but....when people are out at work all day it is difficult to cook something that can take hours.
Prepare before you go to work....turn it on....and leave it until you come in from work. Some people have to eat and cook that way..........simples

My oven has no slow cook facility it has a temperature control....you turn it to low...easy when you know how

How do I stop my porridge tasting of onions?
Don't put onions in it!!!
OP, try amazon or similar and buy a book on what to cook and how long etc, in a slow cooker.

A lot of people have that problem with crock pots - they say the taste never goes away no matter what they do.
In the US some people use liners that you can get for your pot.
Could try rubbing bicarb of soda into the ceramic dish and then washing afterwards?

Doesn't everything come out fizzy after though ?

No idea - its great on hot glass tho, fizzes up like a good un in extreme heat! If you put too much on - the glass starts popping and fizzing
:? :? It good fun :lol:(its used to make glass look very old)
i use my slow cooker quite a lot in the winter, its really handy, my oven doesnt have a slow cook setting or a timer and the lowest setting burns stuff as it is still too high to leave something cook all day.
i use my for casseroles and currys but intend to be a bit more adventurous with it this year as theres loads of recipes on the net for slow cooking
think have had mine about 6 yrs ish and was about 20 quid
