Manufacturer's Description
The healthy alternative to ready meals, slow cookers offer a convenient way to make fresh food. Easy to use, a slow cooker can be left safely cooking away while you are out and about so you can enjoy freshly cooked meals without being tied to the kitchen. Simply add the ingredients to the crock pot and the slow cooker will gradually cook your meal over the course of several hours meaning you're in control of the ingredients and when you eat.

Customer Reviews

A firm favourite in the kitchen
Having hesitated over buying a slow cooker for ages, I finally decided to go ahead. As soon as I saw this cream one it became a "must have" and have no regrets.

Although slightly more expensive than the stainless steel version, it looks good, the cream and warm grey is a homely combination fits well in my country kitchen, there's no problem in having it on permanent display - no hiding it away in a cupboard and forgotten, and it's just the right size for my needs. I can make basic soups and stews, with one meal now and freeze 2-4 single portions for another day.

It has taken some getting used to, being quite the opposite to a microwave for speed, so planning well in advance is essential.

This slow cooker has become a firm favourite and highly recommended.

Bit Smaller Than You Might Think - Check Before You Buy
I was looking for a bigger slow cooker than the 2 litre one I already had. (My USA slow cooker book recommended a larger one so that you could cook for the freezer.) Well this one seemed twice the size - but it's still not what I'd call big. What I'd recommend you do is to fill a suacepan with water and measure what 3.5 litres actually looks like and whether you need an even bigger one. In this cooker 3.5 litres is nearly to the top of the bowl and some recipes can be a bit bulky until they have cooked a while. This one might be fine for a family of four or as one of a pair (you'll soon realise that two slow cookers is what you'll need for a dinner and a pudding or extra side dishes).

So I got the size a bit wrong - but everything else is really good - three heat levels, nice colour that blends into the kitchen, glass lid so you can see in. Works just great and the 3 settings allow you to adjust the cooking duration.

Try the water trick before you buy.

Slow Cooker convert
Never having used or seen a slow cooker before, an office colleague (male) said they were so easy, even he could use it and that it could be left on overnight to cook a pot roast for Sunday dinner or first thing in the morning to have dinner ready for the evening coming home.
I thought I'd try out this marvel and ordered from Amazon. It was delivered on free postage within about 3 days - fantastic. Have already cooked a beef casserole in it which fed 4 adults, with enough left over for lunch for 3 adults the next day. Family raved about the flavour - absolutely fantastic, yet the ingredients were exactly the same as used the previous week to make casserole on the stove. It took 15 minutes to chop the vegetables and brown the meat in the frying pan, then just left it to cook away by itself - no problem, no watching the stove, no unable to go out and leave the stove on! Cooked minced beef and vegetables today - another rave and the baby gobbled it up too. Big thumbs up - wish I'd got one years ago!!!!
