AND you had to request it from teacher prior to the visit to the toilet block so everyone knew your business.

Slow cooker. Phenomenal piece of kit on a day where everyone is out the house, arriving home and different times and all wanting dinner. 5 mins work in the morning, lob it in, help yourself to delicious dinner when you get in.

Today it's a bolognaise. Yesterday it was a bean chilli. Will probably to do Steak/Stilton thingy and a veggie curry in the next few days.

The joy of being smug all day knowing dinner is sorted and actually getting tastier by the second whilst you are out the house is fantastic.

I like to do slow cooker about once or twice a year. Nice to come home from football occasionally to the smell of cooking. Would do it more often except always feel a bit cheated in that even quite small chunks of spud are as hard after ten hours full blast slow cooking as they were when you put them in. Booooo :angry:

I always get excited when I know I have a meal in the slow cooker, that smug feeling of being prepared. And I'm usually disappointed with what it produces. Whatever you put in, always comes out tasting the same, seems to deaden all flavours.

My thermal snoods. Absolute GAMECHANGERS for my winter walks, and when I'm sat in the WSU. Scarves are useless in comparison, and have been consigned to the back of my pants drawer.

Can't wait to see what the freebie snood for STH renewers will be like. Looks a bit thin, but may suffice when it gets a bit warmer.

This! I say it once every year, this is the best thing I've ever bought! Some German engineering behind this masterpiece, I don't know what you call it in English, but it is for your Christmas tree. Just make sure the tree stand straight, pump the pedal and you are done! Outstanding!!!View attachment 172921

Cotton buds. Nothing else quite hits the spot when you've got an itch in the nose or ear and just need to get it like them.

That's interesting. I've certainly learnt what works and doesn't. Fantastic for pie fillings.

Agreed. My wife has taken to doing everything in the slow cooker. I shouldn't complain as it means I don't have to cook, but most of the results are just rubbish. There's no replacement for care being taken to sweat onions/brown the meat first etc.

Oh I'll do that first before it goes in the slow cooker. I can't do throwing raw veggies in or not browning meat before. But the 8 hours of the sauce cooking and taking on the flavours you've thrown in work really well in certain dishes. It helps i WFH or don't need to be out the house early so I have the time in the morning to get it on the go and then come home to it.

Also great that it can be picked up and chucked into the oven if you've added a lid onto a pie filling for example and then out comes one massive pie.

Also brilliant for making stock which was nice over Christmas
