We popped to Home Bargains the other day and by the side of the store is Lidl. There was nothing I actually wanted from Lidl but seeing as we were already there we popped in, mainly because I like looking in the Middle of Lidl where they sell all manner of things and you can often pick up a bargain or two.
I've had a slow cooker for years, I went for a large 6.5l capacity one when I bought it as the children were little and it was a good family size, in fact, I could easily get two or more family sized meals out of it. Since it's just been the two of us, we've continued to use this same slow cooker, though we knew it was far too big for the portions we were cooking for the pair of us, and then disaster struck, the slow cooker broke. It owed us nothing, we'd had it years and it had been well used.
Since then I've been looking for a new one. I knew I needed a much smaller one but didn't want to go too small as we often have family joining us for dinner, or we want to make extra to freeze for another day. While looking in the Middle of Lidl the other day I saw this Crockpot slow cooker and immediately liked the look of it.
It's the perfect size, 3.7l, which says suitable for 3-4, so a good size if we have other people eating with us, or if we want to make extra portions for another reason, but not too large when we're only making a couple of portions. I like the controls too, there's low and high, which my other slow cooker had, but this one also has a warm control which maintains the temperature once the food's cooked. It's ideal if you're home at different times and one of you wants to eat before the other.
It was definitely worth popping into Lidl for a browse. I wonder what they'll have in the next time I go.
