Product Information

If you’re looking to optimise a relaxed form of cooking and not have to stand by the pot, you’ll want to choose recipes featuring ingredients that can be added in altogether at the beginning and then left to cook. 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. Our experts at the GHI make a beef stew, chicken curry and vegetable soup in every slow cooker we test, using both their high and low settings. Our wide selection of slow cookers includes small and large slow cookers alike, to suit different families and kitchens.

A slow cooker only heats up to about half of the temperature of a conventional oven, and you are only heating a small area, so the amount of energy required to produce that heat is significantly reduced. During cooking, we found bits of beef that weren’t entirely submerged in our sauce ended up drying out, so be sure to make sure your meat is covered. Using less heat around the appliance and cooking at lower temperatures and power the slow cooker is a handy kitchen helper.Ninja promises that it will work five times faster than a conventional slow cooker, and we couldn’t agree more – it’s so quick, you can whip up a good, healthy meal, even on a weeknight after work. Our top pick is the Ninja foodi possiblecooker 8-in-1 slow cooker, it’s a wonderful all-rounder that will completely transform how you use your kitchen. litre dishwasher-safe ceramic pot is topped with a glass lid, so you can peek in to see just how your food is coming along (great for nosy diners).

It’s a basic machine with a fun design, perfect if you want to keep the family up to date with what’s coming up for dinner. Slow cooking is a great way to prepare hearty meals without the mess and fuss of usual meal prep, simply put all your ingredients in to the slow cooker, set the timer and let it do its magic.There’s a range of useful pre-set options, including ‘pressure cook’ and ‘slow cook’, which allow you to rustle up a variety of foods at set cooking times, as well as at a the right temperature or pressure level to get the best results. The last thing you want is to be lifting the lid every now and then to check progress, as heat and steam will quickly escape and add to your cooking time. It heats up quickly and distributes the heat evenly, so food comes out perfectly cooked and piping hot. 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.

as real users, posing a threat to a site’s security, so the site sometimes runs random security checks. A waffle maker is sure to make your mornings a little brighter, and many double up as doughnut or cake pop makers too. Kitchen appliances are great for batch cooking and meal prep, so take the time to prepare food in advance so all you'll need to is warm up your food in one of our microwaves or combination ovens for quick and delicious meals with minimal effort. If you want some help prepping the ingredients, a food processor will chop, dice and grate effortlessly through onion, other vegetables and even cheese.There’s no timer on this machine, but you can comfortably throw your ingredients into it in the morning and not worry about it overheating or burning your food while you get on with your day. Ceramic pots tend to be heavier than their stainless steel or aluminium counterparts, while the non-stick coating on aluminium pots makes them easier to wash by hand – although this needn’t be a concern as all of the pots in our roundup are dishwasher-safe.
