Sigh, sounds very easy for you to get comfy, kingpins. My heating only works.. for downstairs and then it escapes to stair number 12 where there's a little evidence of being trapped slightly there but the step is hard for me to sit comfortably on. I can put towels over mÿ slow cooker when turned on, and on which to wrap my hands every so often to indulge myself in there warmth.
I am trying to cook a lamb shank but will take 8 hours according to recipe.
