You must convert your DH!!!
Slow cookers/crock pots are the bestest!!
The meat is so yummy and tender and they're a great money saver because they work best with cheaper cuts of meat. We're having lamb shanks tonight - $4 a kg.
They're also great for Mums and working people because you can put your meal on in the morning and then at the end of the day/witching hour you don't need to worry about.
They're good for the environment too because they use as much power as a lighbulb compared to an oven that is very power intensive.
I usually cook enough for a meal for now and a meal for the freezer but my SC is large enough to fit a meal for now and 3 meals for the freezer. I have a big one because they last for years (no moving parts) and one day I'll have teenage boys on my hands with teenage boy appetites.
