If you want to slow cook a whole extra-large chicken overnight to feed a family of six or batch cook a stew for storing in the freezer, this gadget is a great choice. WARNING: Plastic bag can be dangerous, to avoid the danger of suffocation keep this bag/wrapper away from babies and children. WARNING: Never submerge the entire slow cooker into water or any other liquid or this will damage the slow cooker.We’ve tried tons of sweet stuff in the slow cooker from brownies, to cheesecakes and even a butterscotch pudding, which we promise is worth a try. This will feed five to eight people in one go, and it's ideal if you like batch cooking for the freezer.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Slow cookers help us create amazingly delicious meals with zero fuss, minimal prep and no need to hang over the hob for hours.
