Yeah they are called crock pots or slow cookers here. They are very versatile. I’m thinking of getting a small one when i get my own place.

my moms been using something called an instant pot. it’s like a pressure cooker, usually she makes chicken in it and it comes out pretty good.
I used to have a slow cooker but it got lost during the move. would like to make soups with it… i’ll probably buy another one.

I’ve got a slow cooker. I only use it if my stepdaughter sets everything up for me. I get anxious otherwise.

I have a smallish one that’s good for small meals and a large one for roasts and chickens. I use them often especially when it’s hot outside so the house doesn’t heat up.

love a good roast in a slow cooker. A good cut of meat comes out so tender! Good thing about a roast is you can get a few meals out of it…it’s pretty economical!

Wouldn’t cook a chicken in one. Roast beef is best. Quickly seal the meat by a quick fry then just let the slow cooker do it’s thing. Crispy chicken needs some heat so a regular oven would be best!

I think the best things I’ve made in a slow cooker would be ribs and pulled pork

i have one i’ve been meaning to use again, i use to make a casserole with sausage and steak meat, then i’d put yorkshire pud in the oven and heat some veg, and smash
a very easy meal i had lately was a rib eye steak took minutes to fry and it was so tender, i had it with smash and carrots with bisto over
very hard to find the motivation to cook, i think i’ll buy another steak and freeze it until i am able to cook it, need to go shopping too and its hard to do that as well lol.
Crockpot is a brand.
I love mine, use it atleast once a week.
I do chicken, pasta sauce, chili, lots of tasty treats
