Our house gets very hot in this weather when the oven is on. I was wondering if I cooked in a crockpot on hot days ,would it give out less heat or would that not be the case as you have to have it onfor such a long time.
Also best slo cooker or crockpot. Mostly 2 of us but occasionally more. Needs to be easily cleaned thanks

Slow cookers are really useful for beetroot, cooking whole fruit for marmalade, quinces and Christmas puddings.

I love my slow cooker, and use it for stews (with dumplings - yum!), pot roasts, bolognese and soups. I haven't tried porridge yet or marmalade, but will certainly give them a try. I don't use it much during the Summer, as we mostly eat meat/fish with salads. I wouldn't be without it!

I've got mine on at the moment - making peanut butter chicken. Smells amazing (tastes even better!)
