I’m getting a bit obsessed with our slow-cooker. I’ve always looked on them as a tool for lazy people who can’t be bothered to put a meal together properly, but boy has my opinion changed. I love my food and being able to prep something for tea before I even get ready for work is an early-morning delight. Knowing what I have waiting for me at home is a real help in keeping myself motivated at work, and not having to spend an hour in the kitchen after a long day’s slog in the office makes a hell of a difference to my evening mood. Tonight, for example, I walked in the house to be greeted by the smell of Mediterranean chicken thighs marinating in soy, ginger and turmeric. I chucked on some simple boil-in-the-bag rice, let it simmer while I had a quick shower, and BINGO – tea was ready before I even dried my feet. Philippa came in to find the table set and a plate of food steaming away and collapsed on her chair with hunger, excitement and gratitude.
Tomorrow I may try a slow-cook beef curry. Can you imagine how great that will smell after 8 hours churning away in our Breville?
In a word - Yummy!
