Swan SC55 Round SLOW Cooker Chrome

Advantages: Large Volume, 3 Temp Settings, Nice Aesthetics and Design
Disadvantages: A few stipulations regarding foods that can be cooked and how to use the cooker, although these are general to Slow Cookers and not this model alone

...This cooker comprises of a nice stainless steel outer shell, a big / heavy, sturdy ceramic inner pot and a toughened glass lid. Would tie in nicely if you have stainless steel / chrome appliances. The removable ceramic pot has a capacity to 6.5ltr to the brim, with a recommended working capacity of 4.5ltr, plenty big enough to feed 4-6 people. The pot is dishwasher safe and can easily be transported to the table for serving. The cooker is of an oval shape, rather than round, which allows you to cook joints of meat The cooker has handles which don't conduct heat so the unit can be moved (for whatever reason) during cooking without burning yourself.

Mix all in together, adding anything extra if required (i.e. mushrooms/onions). Turn slow cooker to medium. Cooked and ready for 4pm. To extend cooking time for about 6/7pm instead of turning to medium turn to low this will decrease and cook more slowly.

...Having thought about getting a slow cooker for a little while know we thought that the sales would be the perfect time to start looking. We didn't have a specific model in mind so thought we would just see what was on offer. We went to Comet and was greeted by quite a range of slow cookers, some were on sale, others were not. We chose the cheapest option as we were not sure if a slow cooker would be just what we were looking for, and did not want to lose a lot of money if it wasn't right. The Home-tek HT162 has a 3 litre capacity, 3 Heat settings and a removable ceramic crock-pot and glass lid for easy cleaning. It is not too bulky so does not take up too much room in the kitchen. Easy to read instructions make using the slow cooker an enjoyable experience. The main reason for getting a slow cooker is so that you can prepare a meal... Read review
