Nothing to do, so went out to see how much that golden globe, ( strangely absent recently), in the sky was putting into the leisure batteries, and it was 0.93mA. So, on coming into the house, I wondered how much a slow cooker uses. I know you don't need to say it, I lead a very exciting life, so decided to look it up. It seems it uses around a third of the input on a fairly suuny day, albeit with a lay flat panel. Seems to me, if you like braised or stew type foods its deffo the way to go. If you do the cooking that is! so here is the evidence. Allegedly!
