Thanks Caroline - I think I use my slow cooker more for beans - unless they have come from cans like this.

That is another difference between countries - beans don't tend to be as big here - except Heinz in cans

i love beans 

always amazes me to hear of people who rarely use legumes, or even more so - vegetables. i just can't imagine a meal without heaps of them ! (except a big salad lol)
