Product Information

The inner pot needs to be at room temperature before you start cooking. If you've kept a slow cooker dish in the fridge, you must wait for it to warm up before turning it on. Functions: additional functions on the slow cooker including browning, reheating, reducing and whether it is hob or oven-safe Design: Are you looking for a simple, budget-friendly option that just slow-cooks (but does it extremely well) or something more versatile that sous-vides, pressure cooks, bakes and roasts too? Do bear in mind that the more technological the slow cooker, the higher the price. Finished results: the tenderness of the meat and vegetables, the consistency of the cooked sauce and the heat of the food when serving

Rice and pasta dishes work best cooked on high for the shortest time possible. Always use easy-cook rice, rinsed well first – the more starch you rinse from the rice, the better the finished result.

Bowl Capacity - Perfect for families and smaller dinner parties; removable bowl serves straight to the table No liquid escapes from a slow cooker, so when adapting a recipe not specifically written for a slow cooker, reduce any added liquid by a third.

Easy to Clean - One pot for both searing and slow cooking means less washing up, plus both bowl and lid are dishwasher-safe Heat retention: how the cooker holds heat for safety on the worktop and whether the food catches or burns Size: With sizes starting at 1-litre through to a whopping 6.5-litres, choosing the right size for you is imperative.
