That's what I thought! LOOOVE my rice cooker you can also steam fish and veg in it when its cooking the rice... yum!!!

Sorry 'bout the delay, just noticed your post.
I have one like this but an earlier model. No need to spend a fortune on them tbh but it really does the job, as carefully as I measure and time it in a pan it's no where near as consistent as the rice cooker.

On slow cookers, how much of a difference is there between them and cooking low in the oven? For example if I'm making goulash I'll get cheaper steak pieces and put them on in a dish in stock for a few hours, same with lamb shanks (best to roast them for a bit afterwards) do you do the same with a slow cooker but it's more efficient than an oven?
