Slow Cookers- howmuch electricity do they use?

[ditchcrawler]

 

I used to have a proper "Bedwarmer"...Can't remember who made it, but that had a 25 watt bulb inside as a heating element and it used to work very well!......I think your "bizzard idea" was on the right lines you were just a bit over enthusiastic with the power!

 

Glow baby with a red bulb.

That's a powerful one!

 

Ours is only 70 watt on high power.

Use a Wonderbag instead. I work long hours and that what I use to slow cook nice stews and things in the winter. Uses no leccy at all.

 

Just Google it

 

 

Which version have you got, like the idea of these and might pick one up.

A well-insulated box will do the same job.

Can be tailor-made to suit your own cooking pot.

Box takes up space, i guess this takes up less?

So all off those that have ordered a MrD's cooker what do you think off it.

I like using my slow cooker but like the sound off it where I don't have to use electricity.

I like cooking gadgets, I've got

A Unni Pizza oven

And a Cobb.

 

Both are great, especially the pizza oven.

Mr D's is great. Just don't forget to take it out of the sleeve before putting it on the ring otherwise you end up phoning a very helpful Mr D for a new plastic bit

I like that pizza oven!

For a no-power slow cooker equivalent in the winter, buy yourself a cast iron casserole dish and stick it on top of the stove. Works brilliantly, consumes zero electricity, and makes use of something you're most probably already using to keep your boat warm.

This is, above everything else, why I love my Rayburn.
