Hi Everyone!!!

I really really want to buy a slow cooker and have been doing some research on brands etc. At the moment there is only 2 of us so I guess we won't be needing a big bumper slow cooker.

I have heard that you can get ones that cook risotto as well - that would be a bonus.

Any tips of brands, what to look for etc. I've read that it's best to get one that is stainless inside instead of ceramic, and that it's a good idea to get one that you can programme manually. However I have seen a lot that have only 3 settings - low, high and auto. Also George Forman has just released one in Oz, but it seems super cheap - like $38. I would really appreciate any info anyone can give me as I'm ready to make a purchase so I can get cracking on some of these yummy recipes and also make my life a bit easier in terms of cooking dinner.
