Will make pretty much any meat tender in minutes, same effect as if you've been slow cooking it for several hours. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/slow-cookers#post-3630124 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 16:55:44 +0000 B.A.Nana 3630124@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Asda have the Morphy Richards at £17 at the moment. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/slow-cookers#post-3630113 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 16:53:49 +0000 zilog6128 3630113@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Well for one thing you have to wait 30 mins after you get home before you can eat.
