Steamers > Morphy Richards Steamers

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 ...
...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. The lid is made from toughened glass, so you can monitor the food during cooking. The reason I bought a slow cooker was so I could make some tasty meals, with little to no effort, and not have to hover around the hob for ages stirring dishes. Also the fact I could put something on before work, then ... Read review

Advantages: easy to use , good food
Disadvantages: very basic, no timer

I have had some comments left that this is in the wrong place, i did check slow cookers but there was nothing there sorryxxxxxx THE REVIEWXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Ibought this applience after a friend was raving about it. I liked the idea of being able to leave the meal to cook all day without leaving it in the oven. I don't like leaving the oven on when i'm out all day. So i bought this model. It is very basic and i do wish i had researched it ...
...look like something from the seventies!! Its brown and cream with a simple dial on the front with the settings on it. You have high, medium or low also the off switch. The dish is nice and heavy and does come out of the main heat unit which makes it easier to serve the food and to clean it. The dish also does hold a lot, 5 litres which is ample to cook for a family of four. It comes with the usual instruction booklet which is very easy to understand ... Read review

Advantages: Cooks large stews/curries without burning. Huge!
Disadvantages: Huge. Timer a bit naff.

...not find much on the Morphy Richards web site. So here below I attempt to give a bit of detail which I have gathered from my use of it. On first using it, I thought that perhaps that it had a thermostat but soon realised this was not so. The control is a fairly basic timer which in order to make it idiot proof has an annoying feature. The amount of time this timer is set to at default is 6 hours. However, you can alter this to less by use of ...
...to more by use of the plus button to a maximum of 12 hours. But I repeat, the minimum time it can be set is 4 hours. During the first part of the timed cooking, until it reaches 4 hours to go, the cooker is at maximum heat, presumably 350 watts. It is not insulated in any way and the metal sides become too hot to touch, while the glass lid is just about touchable. When the countdown timer gets to 4 hours, it clicks off and on: 40 seconds on, 20 ... Read review

Advantages: can cook a whole meal in it, and it's healthy
Disadvantages: can't think of any

This is one of those items that I thought I'd get, it would be a bit of a fad, and would end up stuck in the cupboard. I was wrong though! Maybe I'm naive, but it's surprising how much you can actually cook using this, it's not just for steaming your veg at all. I have also steamed fish, rice, even a whole chicken, and my mum has made a chocolate cake (which was delicious, and because it came from a steamer, you could kid yourself it was healthy!). ...
...but it's actually easier than you'd think, because you can use one, two or all three of the bowls, you can cook a whole meal in it, so there is actually less washing up. Also, the middle bits come away, so you can put a whole chicken in, and this also makes it easier to clean (the bowls go in the dishwasher too). You can't 'over-do' veg in a steamer either, which is handy if the phone rings etc, and of course steaming keeps in all the goodness which ... Read review

Advantages: Healthy way to eat, uses minimal power.
Disadvantages: Not good capacity

My experience with this product was fantastic, not only is it compact enough to fit almost anywhere in your kitchen it also has health benefits. Its much healthier to steam vegetables because you get more of the goodness and you can also steam fish. The price for what you are getting is extremely good value for what it gives. Its perfect when you want to have a healthy meal with your family and relatives and even your friends and after the meal you ... Read review
