Do people actually still use slow cookers, or is this a 90s throwback?

Right, I’m genuinely curious about this.

I keep seeing slow cookers popping up again on social media, in kitchens, in recipe videos, and in “life hacks for busy people” posts. But I don’t actually know that many people who still use one regularly.

Do you use a slow cooker? If so:

• What do you actually make in it?

• Is it a weekly thing, or does it sit in the cupboard for six months between uses?

• Is it genuinely a game changer, or just something that sounded better than it is?

And if you don’t use one, why not? Too old-fashioned? Takes up too much space? Air fryer took its place?
