Converted! July 16, 2008
I had viewed slow cooking with some scepticism before buying this unit - mainly on the basis that food cooked over such a low power could hardly become hot enough. Not only was I wrong about that but the range of recipes is wide, varied and tasty in the extreme. With three temperature settings there is good control over timings, though I tend to prefer the 'Low' setting. It might matter to prospective buyers that this model provides heat settings and capacity that tie in very well with the majority of cookery books (I particularly like the Foulsham range Slow Cooking Curries and Spicy Dishes (Slow Cooking) (Slow Cooking) (Slow Cooking), Slow Cooking from Around the Mediterranean, Fresh Ideas for Your Slow Cooker, for example.) It is so good, in fact, that I've just ordered a second one to take to our flat in France.
Brilliant! June 9, 2008

I had wanted a slow cooker for ages and decided on this one for two reasons - the price and the good reviews it had previously.
My first attempt at cooking with the slow cooker was poor because I used a jar of sauce instead of cooking from scratch. I was concerned that I had wasted my money but plodded on and chose a recipe in the booklet accompanying the machine. It was superb! I now understand that the whole idea of a slow cooker is to avoid the easy option of buying a jar of sauce etc. With simple ingredients you can get a superb sauce which is far superior in taste and nutrition to it's pre-made counterparts. I have since made several of the recipes in the booklet. These are a little repetitive though (chicken paprika and beef paprika) so I have just ordered 2 further recipe books specifically for the slow cooker.
The recipes included do need a little preparation beforehand but are well worth the effort and take no more than 10 or 15 minutes to prepare.
This particular machine seems very well made - I have no doubt you could break something if you threw it around so don't and it will last you! The size is bigger than I expected. We are a family of 4 and it is plenty big enough. I always seem to have some left over to freeze too.
This has to be my purchase of the year so far!!! Treat yourself!!

Cooks meat (especially lamb) beautifully and well worth the investment.
I do some basic prep the night before. Final bits and pieces before I leave for work in the morning.
And then when I get back I have a delicious - meat melts in the mouth - meal waiting for me with little hassle.
 Great at it's job but shabby plastic broke soon! March 18, 2008

I think it works fab as most of the other reviews do.
My one complaint is that somehow the plastic on mine seemed to be substandard... I don't know if this would be the case with all these produced or just a batch? I've had mine for a couple of years and use it maybe once a month (we're not talking heavy use here). ALL of the plastic components are breaking off. The handle on one side of the stainless steel outer pot snapped in 2, part of the lid (the bit you use to lift the glass lid off the pot) handle cracked off, and just now the dial on the front snapped in 2, meaning I can no longer select off/high/medium/low without a pair of pliers. Hmmm.
I'll be getting a new one, and it's not going to be another of these. :(
Excellent! March 17, 2008

I have owned this for a year now with absolutely no complaints. It cooks perfectly everytime and is small enough for cooking a meal for 2 but large enough for family size meals.
I previously bought a much larger slow cooker as I thought it would allow for big batches of soups - which it indeed does. What I did not realise is that there is a minimum amount that can be cooked in slow cookers and so bought this one for my smaller dishes. I now only really use this one.
It is worth purchasing a slow cooker cook book as it makes a huge difference to slow cooking. Understanding the basics and how to adapt traditional meals for slow cookers is vital.
I would not be without this product and recommend to anyone that likes hastle free healthy cooked food.
