Product Information

At Homes & Gardens we like to test every appliance before we recommend them to you. That's why our experts take these slow cookers into their homes where they'll use them to do everything from roasting and baking to broiling and steaming. We also make notes on any extra special features and test them out too. If there's an overnight mode, we'll test it and let you know our thoughts. Our experts also make notes on a range of other aspects relating to the slow cookers, including unboxing and cleaning up. That way, when your slow cooker arrives, you'll have no unpleasant surprises in store. Slow cooker FAQs Should you buy a digital or a manual slow cooker?
