Our slow cooker is a Tesco one that cost £8 on offer, about 3 or 4 years ago.
It's been used loads, I've been really pleased with it, but as you know do usually prefer to brown things first, especially onions etc.
And look what I found This!
I figured we'd had more than our money's worth out of the old one, it can go on freecycle if the neighbour doesn't want it
