It’s a good idea for your slow cooker to have a transparent glass lid, so you can keep a watchful eye on your food. Cool touch handles for easy transportation prevent the risk of burning and the slow cooker has an easy to clean black stainless steel exterior. The slow cooker also has a warm function, for keeping already cooked food warmed through until you are ready to eat it. Whether you're tackling a meaty roast or a veggie stew, our Slow Cookers are all about making your life easier. Whether it's a weeknight jambalaya or a decadent weekend dessert, the Geepas slow cooker is your one-pot ticket to flavorful adventures.

Featuring a low, high and keep warm setting; this cookware has adjustable temperature dial and is perfect for soups, stews and chilli. The Le Creuset 6 3/4-quart oval dutch oven would be a great size to build around, as it is one of the best selling sizes of Le Creuset, allows for easy searing of larger cuts of meat, and has an oblong “traditional” slow cooker shape. Slow cookers do tend to run for longer though, so if you’re looking to save, look for recipes with a shorter cooking time that can be left on a low heat setting. That said, our vegetable soup (slow cooked on a low setting) lost a little more moisture than our testers would have liked, but not enough to substantially impact the finished dish. Even better, the exterior of the slow cooker got lukewarm at most during cooking – which is a reassuring safety feature for those with littles ones in the kitchen.litre capacity, this slow cooker can cook enough food for six people, while the removable main pot can also double up as a serving dish. The only downside of this model’s simplicity is that it lacks a delay timer, so you won’t be able to schedule it to start cooking later in the day. Compact, fuss-free and intuitive, this slow cooker achieved full marks for ease of use – you simply turn it on, pick between the low or high setting and you’re good to go. There’s no need to reach for separate pans when prepping food for this slow cooker; it’s equipped with a powerful and even brown/sauté setting, meaning anything that needs to be seared ahead of time can be done directly in the cooking pot.

There are also high and low settings for slow cooking, plus presets for steaming and making yogurt, too. It also scored strongly for its ability to slow cook meat and vegetables on high; however, it seemed to struggle a little when we tested for low and slow cooking, leaving a few lentils in our soup a little harder than we’d have liked. The chalkboard doubles up as a stylish matte black look too, if you’re not so interested in doodling on it. The removable inner ceramic bowl retains the heat making it ideal for transporting the food straight to the table ready for serving. We all know that life can throw us curveballs, so if you’re not able to get home before the timer is up, the Easy Time slow cooker will keep your food at the optimum temperature for two hours.

Like its fellow Crock-Pot above, this easy-to-use slow cooker is large enough to feed a family of six. Ceramic pots tend to be heavier than their stainless steel or aluminium counterparts, while the non-stick coating on aluminium pots makes them easier to wash by hand – although this needn’t be a concern as all of the pots in our roundup are dishwasher-safe.

Slow cookers are also less energy intensive than conventional electric ovens, and therefore more economical. As you go about your day, the slow cooker uses gentle, consistent heat to lock in flavours and tenderise meats to perfection.It’s lightweight despite its large size, boasts an effective non-stick that's a cinch to clean, and if you’re in a hurry (which is often the case when turning to a slow cooker for aid) , you can pop its pot and lid in the dishwasher. Our experts said it retained moisture excellently and produced a particularly delicious beef stew, which was full of tender, flavourful meat. Otherwise, the outside stayed cool throughout and the accompanying recipe book is filled with handy cooking tips.
