Product Information

Root vegetables and potatoes take longer to cook than meat and should be thinly sliced or placed near the sides or bottom of the cooking bowl, because of their starchy cellular structure. An energy-efficient slow cooker can save a significant amount of energy compared to traditional cooking methods. Typically, it uses only a fraction of the electricity that conventional ovens or stovetops consume. This makes it an environmentally friendly and energy-saving choice for cooking. Can I leave an energy-efficient slow cooker unattended for long periods? Simply add your ingredients to the slow cooker, select the required heat setting and leave the appliance to work its magic. They're all perfectly safe to leave on overnight or while you're out, so you can have beef bourguignon, creamy porridge or even mulled wine ready and waiting.

Your cooking options in a rice cooker can really be expanded if you're able to set it to cook for specific times, though. There are plenty of recipes online on how to cook rice pudding in a rice cooker, for example, but you'll need to be able to program it to cook for a set time. If you can't, your rice cooker won't be smart enough to know that there's milk, sugar and other extra ingredients in there, so it won't be likely to cook for the right amount of time.

Trim any visible fat from the meat because the slow cooking process will result in too much liquid in the form of fat. When using a rice cooker, take care to avoid steam vents and avoid touching any part of the cooking pot that might be exposed.If you're unsure about what to expect from using a rice cooker, we've listed some handy tips below that we discovered during our testing to help you cook your rice the way you like it: Portions and cups are not the same Rice cookers always measure rice in cups, as it's a more straightforward way to work out rice-to-water ratios (eg one cup of white rice usually needs one cup of water). But cups are often much bigger than portions – one cup is 150-180g of rice, and Bupa recommends that 75g of rice is one portion. Slow cooking is nearly twice as energy-efficient as conventional ovens, making it a cost-saving choice. Plus, it comes with a 2-year guarantee for peace of mind.

The slow cooker is pretty easy to clean. What I would say is don’t leave it too long before you wash it out though as it will be harder work. But with a good scrub the pot and lid come up nice and clean, ready for the next use. ResultsThe 200-watt power usage ensures low electricity consumption, making it an economical choice compared to conventional ovens. Featuring three temperature settings – High, Low, and Auto – this slow cooker adapts to your cooking needs. Energy-efficient slow cookers not only lower electricity or gas bills but also contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Auto is the standard setting, with an average cooking time of 6-8 hours: it cooks the food on high until the correct temperature is reached, then keeps it warm until ready to serve (use low to extend the cooking time, or high to shorten it). That depends on which rice cooker you're using. All should at least be able to cook white, basmati and brown/wholegrain rice; however, some can also cook other types, such as risotto or sushi rice. Rice-to-water ratios vary As you'll find from reading the instructions, rice cookers have varying requirements for rice-to-water ratios. Several of the models we tested had different ratios for the same types of rice.
