Electric frypan instead of slow cooker?

[fionas]

I'm going back to work tomorrow and love the idea of whacking stuff in a slow cooker ready for when I get home BUT I have no cupboard space and my kitchen is already sending me absolutely bananas. My pan lids are in a cardboard box, that's how little space I have!

So I don't want to buy another appliance and have nowhere to put it. I do, however, already have an electric frypan - would that work instead?

We're getting an in-home carer to look after DD while I'm at work so there would always be someone here to give it a stir and make sure things aren't going to burn.

Or should I just get rid of the electric frypan and use the space for a slow cooker instead? I know Target has a sale on at the moment.

The electric frypan won't work IMO, due to the fact that it has a thermostat that turns up really high to achieve the right temp then turns off iykwim? Whereas the slow cooker has a constant low temp.

I hate my electric frypan. Theoretically you can do all this stuff in them, but I think they suck.

It turns itself on and off and nothing is even....

Go the SC!
