We talk about:the benefits of a slow cooker, including the cost of running a slow cookerthe different types of slow cookerslow cooker recipesslow cooker tips and tricksComparing a slow cooker cost with the cost of an ovenIn the show I mentioned about reducing energy costs, here are my calculations.Assuming an energy cost of 33p per kwh (about typical as at December 2022 in the UK)A 200W slow cooker which is on for 6 hours would use 1200wh = 1.2kwh.1.2kwh X 0.33 = 39pA 2000w = 2kw oven which is on for a comparable cooking time of 40 min = 1.3KWH1.3kwh X 0.33 = 43pBUT, if you decided to cook a jacket potato in a 2kw oven, and left it on for 4 hours, that would be 8kwh = 8 x 0.33 = £2.64, so this is where the huge saving comes in with using a slow cooker.Resources mentioned"Vegan slow cook" by Saskia Sidey https://www.instagram.com/saskia.siSupport the show
