I Got My New Slow Cooker... YAY!

Hi Girls :D

Well, after much shopping around during the week (and on advice from you lovely ladies ;)) I bought my slow cooker last night - A 6L Russell Hobbs 'Reflections' one... its lovely :D

They were priced at $112 - everywhere has been sold out but I managed to find the last one last night :dance:

When they packaged it up for me, they realised the instruction manual was missing - asked me if I still wanted it, as long as the warranty was there, that was my main concern.

Anyway, decided to take it as they said it would be another week to 2 weeks before the new lot came in.. the guy said he'd give me a discount because the manual was missing.

Got to the checkout and they only charged me $50!!!!! :hooray:

OMG I couldn't believe it!!!!

So now I'm off to try & find one online... or if any of you lovely ladies have one the same, just wondering if you wouldn't mind filling me in on anything important I need to know before I start to use it??!!!

:cheer: WOOHOO :cheer:

Wow, you really have a lot of luck getting bargains! Can I take you shopping with me? LOL!

Enjoy your new slow cooker!!

Holly,

Congratulations on your new slow cooker and what a bargain. I just bought one today, Morphy Richards 6.5 litre, can't wait to try it out.

Happy Slow Cooking ! :)

Thanks girls ;)

I have greek lamb shanks cooking in it right now :D

Yummo....

Well done Holly :clap: keep us updated on how it performs! (I'm still in the market)

Have just cooked in it for the 3rd night in a row..

The 1st night I cooked lamb shanks (with Cailin's greek lamb recipe... although it was for a roast ;)... It was still fantastic!) Served it with cheesy garlic mash... YUM!

The 2nd night (last night) I made Lucy's Lemon garlic chicken (and added lime juice as well)... served it with basmati rice... YUM!

Tonight have made a beef & mushroom casserole & dumplings... just having it as is... YUM!!!

I am so happy with the cooker... its definately getting a workout :D

DH told me I need to write to Mr Russell Hobbs and tell him how fantastic his slow cooker is ;) (he's just teasing me... he finds it amusing that I get excited over things like slow cookers and casserole dishes :cryinglaugh:)

I called the company though, and asked about an instruction manual... the girl said she had the same model & it was the best one she's ever had... she then said she'd throw in a few other cookbooks with it and send it out to me :dance:

Hopefully I'll get it in the next few days... will be sure to post some recipes in the recipe thread :)

Woohoo for your new slow cooker Holly! and for your bargain as well!
How cool that they are going to send you a couple of cook books too. Hope there are some delicious recipes for you to share ;)
