I never cook with less than 2kgs of meat, I turn mine on low as i leave for work 7:45am & then when we walk in the door around 5pm, I turn it to keep warm, whist I do whatever else is going with it!!!

Some have burnt up the side but mine is really big & probably I need 5kgs of meat but I think by then I'll be sick of that meal!!! hee hee!
