Product Information

The Andrew James Slow Cooker in a stylish red design is both energy-efficient and practical. With a 3.5-litre capacity, it’s perfect for crafting delicious family meals. Made from stainless steel and ceramic materials, it’s durable and easy to clean, even in the dishwasher.

Auto is the standard setting, with an average cooking time of 6-8 hours: it cooks the food on high until the correct temperature is reached, then keeps it warm until ready to serve (use low to extend the cooking time, or high to shorten it).Root vegetables and potatoes take longer to cook than meat and should be thinly sliced or placed near the sides or bottom of the cooking bowl, because of their starchy cellular structure. This autumn, we went in search of the very best slow cookers, cooking batches of everything from chilli to Irish stew (filling the freezer in the process). We considered each slow cooker in terms of its size, heat distribution, versatility and how easy it was to use and clean – and, of course, the deliciousness of the results.

Cook delicious one-pot meals whilst you’re at work or sleeping. The VonShef 6.5L Slow Cooker goes hand in hand with the fast-paced modern lifestyle – allowing your dishes to be cooked low and slow without needing any supervision. Pre-browning meat and poultry prior to cooking seals in the moisture, intensifies the flavour, and provides more tender results. They provide consistent and even cooking, extending the lifespan of the appliance and promoting safety with features like automatic shut-off. Furthermore, their programmable settings offer convenience, while their reduced heat generation is beneficial in warmer climates. What Makes an Energy-Efficient Slow Cooker? 1. Low Wattage The slow cooker is pretty easy to clean. What I would say is don’t leave it too long before you wash it out though as it will be harder work. But with a good scrub the pot and lid come up nice and clean, ready for the next use. ResultsWe cook supermarket own-brand white basmati rice and wholegrain rice in each rice cooker, always following the rice cooker's instructions on water-to-rice ratios (where given). With the usual three standard settings – high, low and medium – and a capacity which produces around three or four surprisingly generous portions, this slow cooker does what it says on the proverbial tin.

Your cooking options in a rice cooker can really be expanded if you're able to set it to cook for specific times, though. There are plenty of recipes online on how to cook rice pudding in a rice cooker, for example, but you'll need to be able to program it to cook for a set time. If you can't, your rice cooker won't be smart enough to know that there's milk, sugar and other extra ingredients in there, so it won't be likely to cook for the right amount of time. It’s not suitable to use on the hob, and the ceramic cooking pot shouldn’t be placed on any surface affected by heat. A trivet or an insulated pad is recommended. Simply add your ingredients to the slow cooker, select the required heat setting and leave the appliance to work its magic. When using a rice cooker, take care to avoid steam vents and avoid touching any part of the cooking pot that might be exposed. In short... everything. Slow cooking food is healthy and tasty and it's not dangerous to leave your favourite foods simmering away.
