Lakeland Brushed Chrome Family Slow Cooker

I love this slow cooker, it is cheaper then a lot of models but it does everything it should. I use this at least 3 times a week for everything from pot luck chicken to curry and soup. It is easy to clean and store and the settings are perfect for every meal. I have even done a breakfast stew left over night and it was perfect. Chickpeas left on high for 8 hours cook through and save a lot of money. This is a must have item and worth every penny.

I have the smaller one (reviewed), and now this one too. I have just done a bulk quantity of multi fruit compote using both at the same time, fabulous. This is a good all round average size. They look smart & classy. The switch feels very strong with a definite click and the light is bright enough even in bright daylight. I particularly like having an 'auto', as it gives whatever you are making a kick start and then reduces to a lower heat without you having to be there. What you can cook in these slow cookers knows no bounds & it's quite easy. Like the small one, I thoroughly recommend them.

I am new to slow cooking, and had no idea how versatile they are! At the moment I am still experimenting but I have made superb cakes and desserts in mine so far - and the intention was to make main course meals! I bought The Slow Cooker Cookbook at the same time and that has been invaluable - I cannot for the life of me understand why it is poorly reviewed by some customers. My only thought on any future purchase would be the capacity - this cooker is oval in shape and so you are restricted by the width of the cooker (so for cakes and desserts you can only use a maximum 7" bowl or cake tin). Very pleased with this purchase and for the price it is fantastic value for money and a kitchen gadget which I know is going to be well used!

My gas oven is too hot at low temperatures so I bought this slow cooker. I am so glad I did as it really does cook casseroles at a gentle simmer. My husband was delighted with my first effort, a tender chicken casserole on a bed of chopped veg in a light creamy sauce. I am looking forward to using this excellent product a lot in the coming autumn and winter months. The only drawback is that these settings are not sufficiently clearly explained in the brief instructions that come with the cooker.This 3.5 litre cooker is perfect for 2-4 persons.

My wife has used her slow cooker many, many times since I bought it for her. We used to have another cooker which was good but clumsy. This one is attractive looking and very effective. We use it mainly for soups, stews and hot-pots and it works wonders; and I believe it is economical to run. Very pleased we bought it when we did.
