this looks unreal
Getting back to the apple and cinnamon porridge… wtf? How did it work out? Is it just porridge water a cut up apple or two and a sprinkle off cinnamon?
A decent one can be picked up for under €30. If you’re cooking for a big family all the time, get one with a bigger pot - otherwise, the smaller one will do.
It’s not intelligent pal - once it’s on it’s on, so if there’s a risk you might head out for a feed of porter after work and are worried the stew will be gone up in smoke, plug it in via a timer plug. The ceramic pot should keep it warm for an hour or two beyond the cook time, especially with the lid left on. You could ate it out of the pot like a drunken mule then. Dipping a loaf of bread in as you go. WINNING!
Was wondering when someone would pick up on that! Here’s a recipe:
It calls for “steel cut” oats - that’s the same as pinhead oatmeal. You could try it with regular jumbo oats, but just use the low setting.
Also, try half water / half milk and maple syrup in place of sugar. When I make it, I usually throw in some chopped pecans or walnuts - goes very well with the apple and raisin.
I like the sound of this thing, what else can you do with it, it could be the nutri bullet of late 2015
It’s a mighty bit of gear - but not for every day use. Although, as Irish men we’re genetically built to handle food that’s cooked (read “boiled”) for 8 hours a day. It really shows its worth with cheaper cuts of meat. So, instead of breast use chicken legs and thighs (skinned and boned) for a nice curry and let it cook all day.
Introduced back in the 70s Tassy, to coincide with women abandoning their families in favour of working - what a fucking lark. So, not sure if the nutribullet took that long to take off in Ireland.
Im buying one Saturday, today if I can get a chance
Put the lid on man! Otherwise it’ll never cook 
Would the parsnips not be completely disintegrated?
Tell me exactly what you’ve put in the pot. I’ve been threatening to get one for a long time.
No, they’d be very soft though perfect for a stew.
That looks revolting.
Aye pure watery muck
Would you tell your auld lady that, ya pup? She’d box the lugs off ya.
I wouldn’t be served up with slop like that, mate.
They are spuds mate. Didn’t have parsnips to hand.
Food high up on the handle of the spoon. I’d say you attacked that plate of gunk like a big roaster and it splattered up everywhere…
