When deep-freezing, I use lots of the lovely sauce.

Have you any idea of what a cut of silverside would cost here? Say 600gm-800gm? (And that's only 2-3 dinners for two!) Plus, I'd have to special order it from the supermarket as it is just way too big to be something put in the regular meat cooler.

Half decent steak costs about $100 USD a pound... Good steak is double that, and Kobe beef 3+ times the cost!

We ate lunch at an Outback restaurant in the US. I had a Porterhouse cut that was 24oz (700gm) and cost $14 USD. In Japan the largest steak at Outback is 300gm and costs $28 USD.

This is why I've held off this long getting a slow cooker. The prices of meats, even the lesser cuts, in large amounts, is frightening!
