Russell Hobbs 28270 Good-to-Go Multicooker - 8 Versatile Functions including Slow Cooker, Sous Vide, Rice and Food Steamer, Black, 750 Watt

Product Information

However you may see some pressure cookers labelled as multi pressure cookers, or air fryers that also have other cooking functions, such as fry, roast and grill. Some multi cookers are more like slow cookers, with a less powerful heating element built into the base. Each multi cooker was also assessed on how easy it was to operate, program and view food while cooking and how clear it was that food was done or needed turning.

The downside is that it's bulky and wide; it took up a lot of counter space and was a pain to hand wash as it was a struggle to fit in the sink. However, its size means it has a large 6.5-litre capacity, so it's ideal for families and batch cookers. If you have the space, this is a great buy, and it's a gadget Mumsnetters rave about too. Multi cookers that can air-fry give better results for roasting and baking They gave crispier and more even results, usually in less time than multi cookers that couldn't air fry. might seem expensive for a slow cooker, but the Russell Hobbs Good-to-Go is so much more than just that. It has eight impressive functions, including sear, slow cook, roast, sous vide, steam, rice, boil and keep warm, so it offers excellent value for money. The only missing multi-cooker feature it might leave you hankering after is an air fryer setting, but you'd typically pay a lot more for a device with that included. The Russell Hobbs Good To Go 6 is definitely an upgrade from previous models. It has a sleeker design, and far more functions and the removable pot is great for taking food directly to the table. If you're using the dishwasher, it's a cinch to clean. Once you remove the control panel, the cooking pot and lid can simply be popped in the dishwasher. Just bear in mind the pot will take up a fair bit of space.For the purposes of our tests, we asked Which? members which programs they would most use on a multi cooker and from this defined a multi cooker as: an appliance with at least five different modes of cooking; one of these needs to be air frying or roasting/baking; and at least one other function from pressure cooking, slow cooking or steaming. My favourite feature of this impressive multi-cooker was the ability to sear and slow cook in the same pot without the need to use the hob at all. The keep warm setting was fantastic too – at the end of the cooking time, it automatically switched to this mode so food wasn't overcooked but was still hot when I was ready to eat. We chose the multi cookers from the most searched-for brands and popular UK retailers, and paid for every product we tested. Cooking and running costs

The Good to Go Cooker is one of the most versatile kitchen appliances I have seen in a long time. Its various functions mean that it’s incredibly simple to cook one-pot meals - you can do everything from cook pasta, bake tarts and stew casseroles. Cake costs 12p on average in a multi cooker, though the cost range was wide with the cheapest being 7p and most expensive 18p. A typical air fryer will cost about 6p to bake the cake, while an electric oven would cost 20p and a halogen oven 26p. However, compared to other options such as the Ninja 9-in-1 multi-cooker, the interface of this model does look slightly dated. Many slow cookers nowadays are programmed via a touch screen or have Bluetooth/ WiFi capabilities to link up to your phone so you can control it from afar. Should you buy the Russell Hobbs Good To Go 6.5L Electric Multi Cooker? Add the cream, peas and spinach, and bring to the boil. Once the mixture has come to a boil, stir in the pasta prepared earlier and bring to the boil. Turn off the multi-cooker and stir in the parmesan, garnishing the pasta with the chopped flat leaf parsley.A panel of testers followed the instruction and recipe booklets provided to operate each multi cooker, rating each on instruction clarity, and usefulness of any recipes and cooking suggestions.
