Crock-Pot CR507 4.7L

A very nice slow cooker of good / heavy quality including a timer. Get away from home and come back to a lovely smelling house! I have already made 5 recipes from soup to pulled pork and chicken with soy sauce or vegetable dishes. You really notice the added value for meat, the flavors stay well in the pan and only little moisture is needed (nothing evaporates!). Even the vegetables are not overcooked, but just right, I was afraid the piece would be cooked. Be careful with the herbs and sambal use when making, the flavors remain so strong that you need less sambal / herbs. Another advantage is that you can throw everything in the pan the day before, just put the inner pan in the fridge and the slow cooker the day after, delicious! The only downside I can think of is that you have to plan a bit more what/when you eat because most dishes have to be up for at least 3 hours! But you get the most delicious dishes in return. I already had a Tajine, and was afraid it wouldn't be an addition, but it sure is! 4.7 liters is sufficient for at least 6 to 8 people with only meat dishes. And for at least 4 people if you make an all-in dish (meat-vegetables-rice for example). I recommend this size, there are only 2 of us, you can quickly make larger portions of soup, etc. handy for the freezer!

Ideal for Belgian stews, grandma's pulled pork and delicious Indian curries! The timer is also super handy. I have already made a lot in it and gave both my children one as a gift for Christmas.

Because I work long days, I started looking for a solution to easily cook in large quantities during the weekend. The slow cooker is ideal for this: you can easily prepare 6 portions in it. Since the purchase, it works non-stop from Friday evening to Saturday evening, so I cooked enough every weekend to get through the week. Pinterest is always a good starting point for recipes, the slow cooker especially excels in preparing curry dishes, stews and meat that needs to simmer for a while. Spicy dishes come into their own with this. Pay attention, because I was somewhat surprised by this: the timer does not have a delayed start function. So you can't set it to start cooking within 4 hours, as I initially thought. The slow cooker also automatically keeps the dish warm for up to 4 hours afterwards. To get around this, I bought a cheap socket timer with which I set that the power should be turned off after the cooking time. The biggest advantage of the slow cooker is that it saves you a lot of time. The preparation (collecting and cutting all the ingredients) remains, but once the slow cooker has left, you don't have to worry about it anymore, unlike with "classic" cooking, where you prefer to stay close to your pots.
