Cinnamon Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Have a looky at THIS Interesting,isn't it? I am pretty tempted to give one a go after that review EDIT: One is now on its way to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I will be interested to hear how you get on with it I have so many gadgets I had best not think too much about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well,if its no good I will just have to get another cat so it can be used as a bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Works on the old haybox method of cooking by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Indeed - heat retention. Perfect for camping & caravanning too I would think. It will be put to good use on a Saturday here,when I don't finish until 8.30....I can set it up in the morning & leave it to do its thing.

The Dogmother Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I just wonder where people will keep stuff like that - it must take up a lot of room. I'll stick with my Remoska or slow cooker I think, but it will be interesting to hear how you get on Sarah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I was just thinking exactly that! It looks like a really clever idea, but it would take up space that I can ill afford; and if I left it out anywhere, the cats would make a beeline for it! I'll be really interested to hear how you get on, I have a slow cooker and I use that a lot, so this would use the same recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 I have a nice spot for it on top of my cupboards It does look big,but I am hoping that it will be worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 What a good idea! If I didn't already have a slow cooker I would be very tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperaliceuk Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Saw that a couple of weeks ago and am sorely tempted. Do you think it is washable? Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I have a slow cooker and I too think that this would end up as a cat bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 I don't have a slow cooker,so as this uses no electricity am happy to give it a go. I reckon I could easily sell it on,on eBay,if it turns out to be useless,but I suspect it will be quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 My sister has just brought me a review from the Times in similarly glowing terms, and after seeing Cinnamon's suggestion about keeping it on top of the kitchen cupboard, I'm very tempted. I hadn't picked up on the charity aspect - if you order one, they also fund a free bag for a household in Africa. That makes it even more appealing, as does the idea of taking hot stew or soup on picnics or camping - it has lots of uses. hmm ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 It arrived today,in quite possibly the ugliest fabric I have ever seen Still,I am going to give it a go later - Ham & Cabbage broth for supper with the leftover Easter Ham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Must admit I wasn't very inspired by the fabrics, they are traditional African prints apparently but I have seen much nicer prints than that! I'm very keen to know how you get on with this, I am on the point of getting one. I like the idea that you can transport it easily, and also that you can use any size of pan with it rather than being limited to the size of a slow cooker.

NannyOgg Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Couldn't you just make one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Quick update - I hated the fabric so much that they are changing it for me to something less lurid. It went back today - they are paying for shipping out a new one. They are great to deal with - had a really lovely email from them It is as light as a feather & not nearly as big as I thought it might be!

Cinnamon Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 .........................still waiting for my replacement bag to arrive. They have been inundated with orders. They were really good to me & photographed several bags so I could pick which one I wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubababe Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have a slow cooker and I too think that this would end up as a cat bed. My problem too. Tempted by the eco factor but don't have the room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 It is really not that big - not as huge as I thought it would be,anyhow. When it is here I will take some photos of it against something regular sized,so you can see.....mine is going to live on top of the kitchen cupboards.
