You won't regret buying a slowcooker Gert.  :)  Love love mine, the poor thing cost me $30 4.5years ago, gets used generally about 4 times/week, and it is still going strong! An essential part of my kitchen!  :D

As for SS - I got something in the mother's day sales rto put aside for SS  :-[  :D

Well I usually do my slow cooking in the oven but started thinking that the slow cooker might be cheaper to run that the over for several hours.  Now I have to learn how to use it.

Gert just remember slow cookers don't need too much liquid. To cook a leg of lamb half a cup of water cook on slow for 8 hours  :)

After reading the book and some of the recipes provided I am disappointed. I thought you just chucked it all in but this book says to brown the meat, then the vegetables etc.  if I wanted to be bothered using a fry pan and the slow cooker  I would not have bothered.

There must be better  recipes so now looking on web.

The browning is for extra flavour Gretchen, you can skip that step in a lot of the recipes. I think the recipe books which come with these appliances are pretty poor.
