    Hey Rya,

    Depends on what you are planning to cook and what interests you.

    Yes slow cooker is a great deal making from soups to stews to curries. Obviously indian cooking cannot be done :)

    No dear, pasta will become soup by the timw you come home...

    for western, american dishes, check out google.. you might find lots of recipes!!

    Hi Rya
    I use slow cooker for all our indian cooking; for example sambhar, rasam, chole, dhal, alu mutter, dal makhani you name it.. its so very very easyand very very very tasty.. the dhals cooks so well its so very tasty.. do try:)
    You can set it all up in the morning - set up takes just 20 mins or less- and seton slow setting and by evening its already... hope this helps:)

    hello nandshyam,anandchitra,latamurali,mindian,
    thank you very much for the replies..i can check for other threads too for the ideas(jiffy meals as mindian said)..can u pls also suggest good and nominal priced slow cookers? i forgot to ask this..sorry ladies..
    Hi latamurali,
    as far as i know,slow cooker cooks for a long time and keeps food warm..if i set the food in morning,it will be ready by evening when i return back to house..i think iam correct..but ppl who are using it can answer u better than me.
    thanks
