The title of this blog post may be a little misleading..because it is entirely possible that you already know that you can make all of these things in a slow cooker and perhaps you already do. However I often find that I will tell people I made a cake/loaf of bread or a whole chicken in a slow cooker and they will say ..WHAT? because they thought slow cookers were just for stews and casseroles. So this is for you guys, those of you who, like my mum are fairly rigid in what they cook in the slow cooker because hopefully this post will show you there is so much more you can do with it. I have shared 10 recipes below, from myself and my food blogging buddies which will hopefully expand your slow cooking repertoire. Slow cooking is the easiest form of cooking, you just pop it in, bung the lid on and then get on with your day. Enjoy and please share any of your own slow cooking tips and ideas with me in the comments below.

I keep reading about all of the dishes you can make in slow cookers other than stews and casseroles but I have yet to take the plunge myself. I am ready to be amazed! Great links 🙂

I keep meaning to get around to making cake in my slow cooker but it hasn’t happened yet. I think I feel I need a round one before I embark on that. Great selection of recipes here, thanks for including mine.

Great selection of ideas, I’m constantly amazed at how much can be made in a slow cooker beyond the usual curries and stews!

Lovely roundup Becky thanks very much for including my recipes. I think you’re right, there are some who wouldn’t realise these things can be made in a slow cooker and some people do!
