Product Information

Hannah is also interested in sustainability in the home and has completed a course with the University of the Arts London in sustainable textiles, so she can help cut through the noise on what’s green and what’s not. It’s also surprisingly light, and if you’re like us and suffer from a lack of counter space, you won’t find this a chore to lift and move around. With effortless one-step preparation, simply pop all your ingredients into the slow cooker and select the right setting for your recipe. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or a family of 5, they make an excellent addition to any kitchen. It also scored strongly for its ability to slow cook meat and vegetables on high; however, it seemed to struggle a little when we tested for low and slow cooking, leaving a few lentils in our soup a little harder than we’d have liked.

It scored full marks on our curry, soup and stew tests, and cooked meat and vegetables to perfection. The bowl can be used on the hob, which is handy if you want to sauté your ingredients before slow cooking and minimise washing up. It has an LED light, so you’ll know when it’s switched on, which is handy, especially if you’re prone to forgetting to switch off appliances.But you can also use the timer to delay its start, so if you want to prep your food and set it to slow cook later in the day, that’s possible too. 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.

You place your food inside a sealed pouch and then pop it into a temperature-controlled water bath to cook. Whilst slow cookers can make many foods taste amazing with a soft and tender texture, there are other foods that are best to avoid slow cooking.This slow cooker is the perfect cooking aid for anyone with a busy lifestyle who still wants to enjoy delicious home-cooked meals. Another huge plus point is that it has a removable pot, which is also oven-safe, so you really can make a good combination of meals. A wide variety of meals can be cooked in a slow cooker, including one-pot meals, soups, stews, casseroles, and more – so they are a great way to ensure your family can enjoy hearty, home-cooked meals, with minimal effort and monitoring!

Sous vide – A French term that means “under vacuum”, some models come with the ability to cook with the sous-vide method using a sealed pouch.While it didn’t score quite as highly as our runner-up Ninja model, this 8-in-1 slow cooker can still hold its own and impressed our testers with a particularly moist and tender chicken curry that only lost 0. The chalkboard doubles up as a stylish matte black look too, if you’re not so interested in doodling on it. Megan has an MA in Magazine Journalism and has previously written for Stylist, Glamour, TimeOut, SquareMeal, and YOU magazine.
