Invest in a slow cooker!! My mum gave me hers and its great if Im gonna be out and havent got time to make tea! Curry is one of the easiest things I just empty a jar of sauce into the cooker and some fresh uncooked chicken leave it on low whilst Im out for a few hours come home and walah its all done, just gotta do the rice!!
Everything can be done in them tho! Meat, Ribs, Bolonase (neva no how to spell it)

What do you make in your slow cooker if you have one

yes most of the time i put raw meat in but you can also buy ready cooked chicken thats frozen if you are wary. Weve never had any probs and Im always usin my slowcooker! I have done sausage in it too they were lovely!! As long as they are left for couple of hours they are definatley gonna be cooked. I suppose I just like the convenience.
With spag bol just do the same as wiv anyfin else put in your meat and sauce and leave for a couple of hours while you finish the washin pile

My mum did bacon ribs, she just popped them in with some water and when she got home they had all gone cos the kids had ate em all so they must av been nice!
