Slow cookers are awesome for easy, healthy cooking. The leaner cuts that we eat, with a tendency to be tougher and more rubbery under other cooking methods retain a juicy oomph in the slow cooker. ;D I like to dump in 800g of eye round ( beef) tomatoes, onions, steel-cut oatmeal etc into the slow cooker and leave it on low overnight. 3 tablesthingys of different herbs and spices from Masterfoods go in as well ;D voila! beef stew to for breakfast and the lunchbox. refrigerating the stew/soup will enable the fat to solidify for easy removal, then reheat before consumption. Pork and chicken are also great slow-cooked.

you might want to do a search for slow cooker ( aka crockpot) recipes on the net, very rich source of ideas.
most of the recipes will of course not be "BBuilder" suitable, but form a good base on which to create new tummy warming recipes . ( I love the kitchen almost as much as the weights room)
chicken is great microwaved actually, esp when rubbed with spices. very quick and convenient. i just pop it then into a ziplock bag and bring it to class for my in-between lecture meals. no need fork etc

You can try ba ku teh in the slow cooker too. Buy a packet of ba ku teh herb at ntuc and 600gm of beef. Cut beef in cube (about 4x4cm), dump it and the herb into the cooker, then add 1 tbs of dark soy sauce and 2 tbs of light soy sauce and add about 500mls of water. Ready to serve in 2-3 hrs.

Ba Ku Teh with beef? I'd rather go with the original pork.
