Product Information

While there isn’t a huge amount of difference between electric pressure cookers, it’s worth noting that this one cooks incredibly well, is one of the easiest to programme, and simplest to clean. My only niggle is that I’d like a pot durable enough to throw in the dishwasher every time without being concerned I might be shortening its lifespan. When cookers are this good and as easy to use, you might find yourself using your hob only at the weekend. Verdict It’s always better to have too much capacity than not enough. This is especially true if you want to make large batches of food and divide them up for daily meals. Let’s look at how a few popular slow cookers compare, by weight, in the following chart: Slow Cooker There’s one button for each programme or cooking function, one each for setting the delay timer (max four hours) and the keep-warm (for up to four hours), and up and down buttons plus buttons for adjusting the pressure or temperature. All of which are clearly marked with a big digital display.

Remember, it takes hours to cook meals in a slow cooker. You can always freeze the extra. However, if you don’t have extra space in your freezer, a smaller slow cooker may be better. To make enough food for everyone in your home, you must have a large enough slow cooker to accommodate the required number of servings. The recipe online doesn’t give details on using any particular functions as it just says the cooking time is two hours, so I manually set the timer. Next I made chilli, again using the sauté function to brown mince for eight minutes. There’s the option of low or high for this function, but the recipe didn’t specify which to use so I opted for high. After removing the beef, I added other vegetables and sautéed again for a further few minutes, before placing all the ingredients in the pot and topping with the lid. This was cooked on the Beans/Chilli function for 10 minutes. We all know that cooking from scratch has a multitude of benefits, from knowing what goes into your meal (so no nasty surprises!) and making healthier choices to choosing the flavours you love. But many people associate scratch cooking with long, arduous sessions spent in the kitchen – the Multi Cooker takes away that time and the effort with its pre-programmed settings, so you can reap the benefits of both scratch cooking and fast food.Still, you’ll need to lift it when washing and storing. So, it makes sense to buy a slow cooker that you can lift and maneuver easily.

With a 5.6 litre capacity, the bowl is plenty big enough to cook meals for families and dinner parties, as well as batch cook to prep for the week ahead. If you use a slow cooker frequently and have a lot of counter space, you can also opt to leave it out as part of your kitchen decor. If you don’t use it frequently, have limited space, or only prepare meals for yourself, a 4-quart slow cooker is ideal. However, if you have lots of space, a large family, or like to entertain, a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker is the better choice.

This exercise also works when determining sizes for saucepans and other cookware or appliances that use capacity for measurement. Imagine the water is soup or chili. If 4 quarts are not enough to feed your family, keep adding a quart at a time until you get to a volume that works. Once your food’s cooked to perfection, it’ll automatically be kept nice and warm until you’re ready to eat, so dinner will always be ready when you are.
