About this deal

Half fill your Good to Go Multi-Cooker with water; add 2 tbsp olive oil and season. Using the control panel, set to boil. The Good to Go Cooker is one of the most versatile kitchen appliances I have seen in a long time. Its various functions mean that it’s incredibly simple to cook one-pot meals - you can do everything from cook pasta, bake tarts and stew casseroles. Having the ability to sear ingredients in the pot before slow cooking gave it extra points when it came to ease of use too. I could brown meat and soften veggies in the multi-cooker, something you have to do in a separate frying pan on the hob with a lot of slow cookers – any feature that saves on washing up is good in my books!

A keen cook, she's always whipping up new creations and experimenting in the kitchen, and this often includes testing out the latest time-saving kitchen gadgets for Mumsnet. Cake costs 12p on average in a multi cooker, though the cost range was wide with the cheapest being 7p and most expensive 18p. A typical air fryer will cost about 6p to bake the cake, while an electric oven would cost 20p and a halogen oven 26p.

My favourite feature of this impressive multi-cooker was the ability to sear and slow cook in the same pot without the need to use the hob at all. The keep warm setting was fantastic too – at the end of the cooking time, it automatically switched to this mode so food wasn't overcooked but was still hot when I was ready to eat.

We chose the multi cookers from the most searched-for brands and popular UK retailers, and paid for every product we tested. Cooking and running costs Be aware of pre-heat times They are usually not included in the quoted cooking time in recipes, but can be 10 minutes or more if you're pressure cooking or steaming with the multi cooker. We factored preheat times when rating how fast each multi cooker delivered. Through testing a variety of different slow cookers, this allowed me to cross-compare the Russell Hobbs Good-to-Go with different models to assess its performance and offer a balanced view to help Mumsnetters choose the right slow cooker for their needs.If you're using the dishwasher, it's a cinch to clean. Once you remove the control panel, the cooking pot and lid can simply be popped in the dishwasher. Just bear in mind the pot will take up a fair bit of space. Functions Stew, steam, stir fry, bake, soup, sous-vide, rice, yoghurt, oatmeal, adjustable chef mode (plus air fry, roast, grill, bake, manual mode with extra crisp lid) I tested the Russell Hobbs Good-to-Go Multicooker in my north London kitchen, using a variety of its functions to cook up different dishes.

Instructions and recipes make a big difference to your cooking experience Some multi cookers give step-by-step guidance and tables with cooking programs and settings for various ingredients. Others throw you in the deep end, leaving you to guess the best mode to cook your dinner with.

Russell Hobbs Good-to-Go Multicooker: what are the results like?

Multi cooker is a term slapped onto all sorts of cooking appliances these days. However, the best models can do everything an air fryer can, while also cooking in other ways, such as pressure cooking, slow cooking and more. I started by boiling cream, milk and vanilla in the slow cooker and then strained it into a bowl. I then added eggs and sugar and whisked until it was a smooth mixture. I divided the batter into glass ramekins that I placed directly in the cooker. Using the sous vide setting I cooked the custard pots for 20 minutes and then let them chill in the fridge. I usually sprinkle chopped strawberries onto the pots, but I tried searing them with sugar in the slow cooker and they were delicious.

The Russell Hobbs Good To Go 6 is definitely an upgrade from previous models. It has a sleeker design, and far more functions and the removable pot is great for taking food directly to the table. Add the cream, peas and spinach, and bring to the boil. Once the mixture has come to a boil, stir in the pasta prepared earlier and bring to the boil. Turn off the multi-cooker and stir in the parmesan, garnishing the pasta with the chopped flat leaf parsley.Each multi cooker was also assessed on how easy it was to operate, program and view food while cooking and how clear it was that food was done or needed turning. Multi cookers that can air-fry give better results for roasting and baking They gave crispier and more even results, usually in less time than multi cookers that couldn't air fry. A panel of testers followed the instruction and recipe booklets provided to operate each multi cooker, rating each on instruction clarity, and usefulness of any recipes and cooking suggestions.
