When I was looking through Nigella Lawson's new book '
Kitchen: Recipes from the Heart of the Home
' I was dismayed to see that in her "Kitchen Gadget Hall of Shame" she placed the electric slow-cooker as being one of the items she had bought and was now going to give to a "more deserving cause." I was surprised at her condemnation of this great piece of kitchen equipment which I am happy to give cupboard space too. Anyone reading my "
About" page will have already read that I used to have a pub with restaurant section - my mid-life crisis attempt to escape driving a desk all my working life! It was during these few years that I really discovered just how great slow cookers can be and a lot more versatile than it might appear at first glance.
