Easy Time 3.5L Slow Cooker – Morphy Richards-UK

Lakeland has a range of slow cookers and this 3.5L oval version is ideal for cooking lunch for two people with leftovers, or dinner for four. It comes with a warning that the outer layer may get hot while cooking, and the handles and cooking pot itself can become quite hot to touch, especially if cooking on the high setting. Like the other slow cookers on this list, it has a plastic handle in the centre of the glass lid making it easy to serve the food without fear of burning yourself.If you’re taking meat out of the freezer to go into a stew or casserole then be aware that it should be thoroughly defrosted before being slow cooked. Many brands will recommend browning any meat before putting it in the pot, and some slow cookers are designed to be able to sear or sauté meat in the cooking pot itself before adding the rest of the ingredients. Raw red kidney beans will need to be soaked overnight and boiled before being put in a slow cooker, too.

Unfortunately there is no delay start function, but if you will be away from the slow cooker once it finishes cooking, it automatically switches onto the keep warm function for two hours, giving you some wiggle room. Our tester found this function exceptionally useful when needing a little extra time as they made a fish curry for some dinner guests. Morphy Richards makes a range of slow cookers, but this model is also available in 6.5L.

A slow cooker is an electrical cooking pot that simmers food unattended over a longer period of time than in conventional oven cooking.

Slow cookers allow meals to be prepared in advance; the food is then ready when you return home.
