Product Information

Pasta - While some people cook pasta in a slow cooker (2% of slow cooker owners we surveyed) it’s difficult to get it right. If you’re planning on being gung-ho doing it anyway, you should either cook it separately and put it in at the end or only add it during the final hour of cooking. It might promise 6 litres on the box, but you won't get 6 litres’ worth of your favourite recipe in the cooking bowl.

Some will even switch over to ‘keep warm’ for you automatically, at the end of cooking.

Timer A smaller, round slow cooker is ideal if you’re cooking for one or two people, or aren’t fussed about having lots of leftovers to freeze. Delicate vegetables - While a slow cooker is excellent for tougher root veg, it can cause softer produce such as courgette, asparagus and pumpkin to turn to mush. If you insist on adding them, they’ll need to go towards the end of the cooking process. This hearty and satisfying stew is deliciously easy – just let the slow cooker do the work! We used carrots, parsnips and potatoes, but you can use any leftover roast veg here. A built-in timer is handy, but these are generally found on more expensive models with digital controls.
