About this deal
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. Slow cookers are nifty appliances that do all the cooking for you, so you can whip up scrumptious meals without spending hours working away behind a stove. This is a really good option if you’re cooking joints of meat, because its large, oval bowl will fit anything from a whole chicken to a beef joint inside.
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.Testers were also pleased with the energy efficiency, and the clear digital display panel meant it was easy to know when our dish was ready. Sous vide – A French term that means “under vacuum”, some models come with the ability to cook with the sous-vide method using a sealed pouch. Liquid also cannot thicken in a slow cooker, so adding a bit of cornflour can help to thicken sauces up. The 3 heat settings and a keep-warm function let you cook a variety of meals with ease, whilst the glass lid with cool-touch handles allows for more accurate cooking.
Sear and Sauté just like a hob – perfect for caramelising onions and vegetables and sealing or braising meat, before cooking low and slow for tender, fall-off-the-bone results.It’s also surprisingly light, and if you’re like us and suffer from a lack of counter space, you won’t find this a chore to lift and move around.
