My slow cooker

Although I'm fully aware of the 'down' side of QVC, I feel I must give credit where it's due ( no pun intended). I'd been wanting a slow cooker for ages, but they don't sell them here. Wherever I got it from, it was going to be 20 pounds postage, so I used QVC because of their guarantee.
I'd only had it three weeks when I came downstairs one morning to find that the toughened glass lid was crazed, and little bits of glass had fallen into the cooker. I hadn't used it for a couple of days and it wasn't in a place where anything could fall on it.Total mystery, but one I didn't fancy explaining to them as it seemed so far-fetched!
I was all fired up to face their scepticism, had taken photos of where it was, damage etc. as I could hardly sent them a load of broken glass through the post. As it was, when I refused a replacement, they happily refunded me AND refunded my 20 quid postage without a quibble.Now that's what I call service!:clapping:
I emailed the photos to the manufacturer, as I thought they'd like to know in case it was a faulty batch.

I have a slow cooker but don't use it much as am having trouble finding a decent recipe book. Do any of you have any you could recommend?

catkins the best things to cook in a slow cooker is any meat. Basically if you buy say chicken dice it up and put in a cook in sauce, or you could throw in some meat chopped carrots onion potatoe whatever you fancy throw it all in and cook in water and a oxo cube. basically you always need liquid of some description, then just do any meat with veggies.

The other day I put in skinless cubed chicken and then I put in a Chicken Tikka sauce and it was a lovely curry made some seperate rice and got a nan bread lovely!

if you wnat to cook say a beef joint just put it in your slow cooker and add enough water to cover the meat and leave on low overnight the next day discard the water but then you have a lovely soft meat melt in your mouth joint!

you can virtually cook anything in a slow cooker as long as you add some liquid. Hope this helps.
