Like Jazzi, I use my slow cooker a lot.
I always make large meals in it, so I can have some leftover for the freezer.
In fact, tomorrow I plan on making a big stew!

Nice! When I get my slow cooker, I know who to go to for advice.
I am a kitchen gadget addict and yes, a lot of them end up forlorn and abandoned in the kitchen cupboard so I’m supposed to be abstaining
BUT I WAS GIVEN A SAUSAGE ROLL MAKER FOR CHRISTMAS! Woohoo!
I haven’t tried it yet but not only does it make sausage rolls but also McDonalds Apple pies, doughnuts, pies etc
Can’t wait to play with it!

I will definitely post my creations
Sausage roll makers have been a big thing in Australia for a while but you couldn’t get them here, but now Aldis have them, so if you want one, get down there before they’re gone!

If you get one, my advice is definitely buy the liners (easy to get). Just be very careful when spooning out the contents. And also a packet casserole mix from a supermarket. Beef, chicken, pork. And put in the ingredients you like. I just do carrot and onion. There is no hard and fast recipe, as you cook what appeals to your taste buds.
Tip. Don’t remove the lid when cooking as this can lose heat. Leave it for the day to do its thing. Don’t think you have to stay at home watching it with eagle eyes. Go out, do what you would normally do, then add dumplings to the last 15-20 minutes, and cook any other veg to accompany your now delicious meal.

Had to Google that one, Maree, and - without wishing to rain on your parade - I cannot see the advantage. It only makes 4 at a time - I can cook 12 at a time on a baking sheet in the oven. It will be interesting to see your comments when you have used it - I am always willing to learn.
