Hi Cathie. Slowcookers are not the same as a pressure cooker, a pressure cooker is like a saucepan that you cook on the stove, a slowcooker does not cook on the stove it is an oval bowl that you plug into the wall socket and is on your work surface, put the food in and switch on at night or first thing in the morning, excellent for people going to work and know there meal will be ready when they arrive home or if you go out for the day and can come home to food cooked, hot and ready to serve instantly. -----Original Message----- From: m harris - Email Address: catherineharris1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent On: 29/01/2012 16:57 Sent To: Guide chat list - Email Address: guide.chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [guide.chat] Slow cookers!

When we arrived we were given the beef dinner that she cooked in the slow cooker and I can say that it was as she said. The beef just melted in your mouth. I looked at the haligen oven and it does get very hot. I personaly wouldn't use one as its to risky. I don't think there safe for totally blind people. love Malcolm. xxx. Warning, tips and recipes. I have a halogen oven and the glass bowl is as hot as an oven, there is no protection on the outside of the bowl, you can easily burn when taking out the food, I have those long r n i b gloves and impossible to tell what to feel for from the thickness of the gloves to your food and top of glove your arm will touch hot bowl on entering into the bowl. When cooking a chicken how do we know if it is cooked, we cannot tell if juices are clear, we would have food poisoning and be burnt by the bowl. Tips and my recipes for safe cooking. Safer to buy a whole cooked chicken. Buy Aunt Bessies frozen yorkshire puddings and cook them upside down in the microwave for half a minute. Buy Aunt Bessies frozen roast potatoes and cook on a browning plate in microwave. Buy microwave steam bags and put some frozen vegetables straight from freezer into bag and microwave for 5 minutes, cooked perfectly. Buy frozen potato croquettes. Buy Bisto gravy granuels. Slowcooker. Night time do this. Put only one layer of potatoes, carrots and onions in the slowcooker. Put a joint of beef, topside or silverside or choice of beef on top of the layer of vegetables. Put remainder of vegetables in the sides of the beef. Dissolve two oxos in boiling water and pour onto beef, just below line of the slowcooker. Cook on low setting for tomorrows evening meal, beef will melt in your mouth. Cook extra vegetables in microwave steam bags and whatever else you would like to accompany the beef,like roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings etcetera. Quick dessert. Melt one or two large bars of chocolate and drizzle on a large plate, then put a whole bag of frozen raspberries on top like a pyramid and pour remainder of chocolate over the raspberries and serve with extra double cream. from Vanessa The Google Girl. my skype name is rainbowstar123 ----- No virus found in this message.
