Product Information

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. 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 is no need to spend hours slaving away over a hot stove as this slow cooker will do all the hard work for you. There is, of course, a timer function where you can time how long you want food to cook, as well as delay the start of the cooking process. 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. For ease of use and practicality the Russell Hobbs 23200 has a removable cooking pot allowing you to easily remove and serve food. One thing we will say is it does feel very heavy; also, the shape makes it a little more awkward to move around, so you may want to carve out a space for this machine and just leave it in situ.Cooking for a long time at a low temperature is also perfect for tenderising meat and can preserve nutrients that are sometimes lost when cooking via other methods. Our experts said it retained moisture excellently and produced a particularly delicious beef stew, which was full of tender, flavourful meat. While they excel in producing hearty dishes, such as stews, casseroles and soups, you can also use your slow cooker for other year-round delights, such as bread, cakes and even yoghurt. But it does have something better: at the top of the machine, there’s an LED progress bar, which allows you to visually monitor how your food is cooking without having to open the machine.

These include dairy products (they will curdle), pasta (it’ll go soggy), and some seafood (it’ll go rubbery). Our slow cookers will make versatile and practical additions to your small kitchen appliance collection. The liquid in a slow cooker won’t evaporate as it would in a standard pot, thanks to the appliance’s tightly sealed lid.

The keep warm function is also handy for serving hot food at parties or to simply keep your dish warm ready for seconds! Multi-cookers are also worth considering, as these machines offer additional cooking methods, including pressure cooking and air frying, which are speedier ways to cook.
