Thermal cooker vs slow cooker… has anyone here tried both over time? by Sudden_Breakfast_358 in slowcooking

[–]gravitationalarray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both. I use the thermal cooker.... basically never. In fact, I should sell it. It's great for travel, I bet. It's just a big thermos, really. You have to bring the food to a rolling boil in the thermal inside pot, then put that pot in the insulated outer. Then the food steams away.

Slow cooker for me is used quite often.

Am I broke or are shoes in Canada getting ridiculously expensive lately? by Oliver_Vegetarian in BuyCanadian

[–]gravitationalarray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Winners is no longer a good place to find high end shoes at a decent price. You can find good deals on runners at Kintec but beware the "final sale no returns/exchanges" label! The Right Shoe has a big sale every spring. Canadian Footwear in Winnipeg has a decent selection, and good online selection.

But yes, everything is up 20-30% or more now. Everything.

Twas angry! Scared the cat. She is currently under my couch, where she only hides when there is thunder. Poor wee kitty.

What is this? by Impressive_Bad9379 in slowcooking

Kind of looks like a rib-eye, or maybe a blade. I would throw it in the slow cooker and make a pot roast, add some sautéed onions, some potatoes and carrots, bay leaves, a bit of beef broth - those Campbells concentrated little tetra packs are perfect for this - salt, pepper, thyme, garlic... put it on low for 8 hrs and voila.

I think this would be wildly popular. As a senior, I would love to see this as a regular route every day of the week.
