Andrew James Slow Cooker In Black, 380 Watts, 8 Litre Capacity | Tempered Glass Lid | Make up to 30 Portions | Removable Inner Bowl

Product Information

The controls tend to be similar on most slow cookers with a ‘low’ setting for longer, slower cooking throughout the day and a ‘high’ setting for faster cooking with similar slow-cooked results. The inner bowl is removable, so you can carry it to the dining table to serve up, and we found that despite the outside of the slow cooker getting hot, the handles remained cool enough to carry.

With some quick prep in the morning, you can enjoy a beautiful, flavoursome homemade meal in the evening: from casseroles and soups to succulent pulled pork, tasty tagines, indulgent chocolate pudding, and much, much more. We made a variety of dishes in each appliance to assess how well they cooked the food, whether the machine was straightforward to use, its capacity and, of course, how easy cleaning and storage was. However, thanks to the handy, automatic ‘keep warm’ function, it will still keep your food toasty until you’re ready to serve. This multi-functional machine, another one from market-leaders Crock-Pot, allows you to schedule your cooking up to 12 hours in advance, with plenty of customisable manual and auto-function options.

Also, we were impressed by how quickly it heated it up, leaving us with evenly cooked food at the ideal temperature. Starting at the higher temperature for the first hour is recommended and then dropping to the low heat setting.

The slow cooking process will allow any meat you use to tenderise and all the ingredients and seasoning to come together perfectly; resulting in great tasting, hearty meals which are sure to become future family favourites. The cooking pot, utensil and glass lid are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning, or you can wash by hand. By doing so, the juices and subtle flavours that would otherwise be lost during conventional cooking are retained, making for a tastier meal. Toward the last hour of cooking add the soft vegetables or pasta and finally add the cheese and cream in the final half hour to avoid mushing and curdling. Features a signature Cavaletto design, combining black with subtle rose gold accents to provide a stylish addition to today’s contemporary kitchen.These include dairy products (they will curdle), pasta (it’ll go soggy), and some seafood (it’ll go rubbery).
