  What?

  I saw a few people walking around Target with slow cookers today! Must be a good deal!

    The Ronson one that the Mods just deleted was smaller but cheaper.

    Find it on lasoo.com.au - a Ronson banquet slow cooker for $44. :)

    I still think this one's more versatile for me. However the Ronson looks similar and has five slow cooker bonus packs. Probably worth up to $15 for those, so a nice bonus.

    Like I've said elsewhere, Target promotes this stuff every few weeks. :)

    I linked that exact link at the top of my post, since it's only a recent deal here.

    Since I'd not seen anyone with a positive review, I passed on that offer and then regretted not getting it, since it returned to $119. Caution since it's a house brand.

    There are only the Breville and Cuisinart in this 7L banquet size, AFAIK, so this is a good deal at the moment, compared to the alternatives.

    For anyone only semi-interested, you will likely see the sales come up fairly regularly.

    I'm just surprised it's returned so quickly - and I could use this offer when returning a faulty electric blanket. :)

    Still a secret deal in stor since it's not yet in the catalogue.

    Tell me if you find a better deal in a 7L size. I really tried and the best I found was secondhand at $100!

    So it works well? You recommend it?
    No remorse about not getting the Breville (or if you are brave, the Cuisinart)?

    That's much more valuable info than what I've posted. If it's a good product. It looks OK, so hopefully it is.

    I like that it can be used as a pan to sear the meat in, before slow cooking. Do you do this? :)

      It does work well… but I have only had it for like 3 weeks… Used it only twice.. So not sure if I can fully recommend it! But I did sear some meat on it… made it extra tasty, effective and didn't have to mess another pan.. Perfect!

        That's the info I needed, thanks.
        Searing and getting an improved taste was the thing that made me want to get either this one or the Breville this model appears to clone. :)

  Merged the $44 Ronson deal into the bottom of this deal, as requested.

  If you just want the absolute cheapest possible used or unloved slow cooker, get onto gumtree.com.au or old person garage sales. Council cleanups if you are totally broke and without transport! :)

  If you want a range of cookers from then look on ebay.com.au.

  If you want to check out lots, go to a Westfield since you will likely be able to see most or all that are on the market, if you get the department stores plus discount department stores and specialist shops.

  If you want recipes or discussion on slow cookers, there's plenty on google, including some forum thread discussions locally, plus Choice reviews of a couple of brands.

  Vote if you use your slow cooker. Do people get sick of them or do they use them every winter? :)

  I love my slow cookers. Got 4 of them, & use them for making 24-hour Stock, all the time:)
  So good.

    Since you say you're 100% into slow cooking…do you sear the meat in a frypan or the tray(for ones like the 7L models like this) before slow cooking?

    Do you ever use a large one for extra large cuts of meat?

    Your post is making me hungry!

      I sear the meat in the Turbo Convection Oven first, then transfer it into the slow cooker with all the juices, herbs, etc.
