You posted perfectly right!
Hi, so sorry. It's already been sold on. But I see that now there are more options in the stores. I didn't know about this Solis brand. You could probably ask that they order it for you if you don't see it in stores. Mine was really really huge. This one seems like quite usable size.
Placed an order for one yesterday and received it this morning. The price includes shipping so that was cool. Thanks for the tip.
I didn't think anyone actually bought a crockpot. All you need to do is get married and they seem to magically appear. That and toasters.
Saw a slow cooker at Sihlcity at the electronics store on the top floor (InterDiscount?). I think it was just under 100CHF.
Thank you everyone for your ideas where to get a crock pot. When I get tired of ma's 1 liter crock pot, I will know how to get a bigger and better crockpot to magically appear.
Speaking of magical appearances after getting married, filthy ovens seem to magically appear after getting married. http://www.englishforum.ch/images/icons/icon11.gif When I was single I never cleaned an oven. Now of course american landlord laws are alot more liberal then swiss landlord laws. But I never looked at my ovens in American apartments before I moved out and American landlords never said anything to me about it. But now I look before I move out of swiss apartments. And I spend alot of time cleaning swiss ovens before I move out.
I suppose when you are married you bake more often so there is more sizzling, spewing, and spills.
I got one from Media Markt a couple of weeks ago, made by Solis.
I got married, and I didn't get a single crockpot! Blenders and irons, however... really, how many IRONS does one need?
Trade a crockpot for an iron, anyone?
Does anyone know where to buy a decent sized crock pot from in Zurich?
Size 5L or 6L, I've seen one in Mediamarket, but it was only a 3.5 or 4L and $120 francs!! yikes.
To tell you the truth - I have no idea what a crock pot is. Is this a New Zealand term?
Sounds like something that a leprechaun would keep his gold in
We bought the Solis brand one at Media Market for 120 and we love it. We did however notice that they just added it to this years coop catalog, so if you have enough superpoints that would be good option.
I looked for nearly three years for a crock pot in Switzerland. No one had any idea of what I meant and a few people thought I wanted a rice cooker.
Anyway, 120 Francs is a lot, but I would be surprised if you find it anywhere else for cheaper.
Sounds like a slow cooker.
This thread is so funny -- when I first came over last year I wanted a Crock Pot as well. It took me forever to explain to my other half what it was -- the look on his face was hysterical. Finally, after much searching, we found one in a shop near Banhoff Stadelhoffen in Zürich. We picked it up and I quickly introduced him to the wonders of slow cooking. Since then he's fallen in love with it. We had friends over for dinner the other night and they had to see it -- and now they are getting one.
Crockpots treat you to wonderful Chinese chicken herbal soups. In the morning, I used to just pop in a small black-skinned chicken (or free range itty-bitty chook), a few Chinese herbs/roots, dried longan (berries), elderberries, split dried dates, 1 tsp of soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste) and enough water to cover. Cook on low. By evening when you come home, you can sit down to steaming hot, flavourful soup and tender chicken that's falling off the bone.
Ah, yes. The infamous Chinese chicken soup. I guess that's enough reason to get a slow cooker.
I struggled to find a slow cooker in Switzerland and ended up buying it from John Lewis in the UK (along with other things). Their service is excellent and the VAT refund was enough to cover the shipping costs. only 8% to pay on this end. Don't know why more people don't do this.
Hey all, just wanted to let you know about a great deal I found on a crockpot today: http://www.finissimo.ch/morphy-richa...oker-7677.html
Only 55 CHF and free shipping! I can't wait to get it and try out some recipes.
Cheers
Probably because you can find them easily in CH for the same price or less... and with a Swiss plug?
