Product Information

While there isn’t a huge amount of difference between electric pressure cookers, it’s worth noting that this one cooks incredibly well, is one of the easiest to programme, and simplest to clean. Next I made chilli, again using the sauté function to brown mince for eight minutes. There’s the option of low or high for this function, but the recipe didn’t specify which to use so I opted for high. After removing the beef, I added other vegetables and sautéed again for a further few minutes, before placing all the ingredients in the pot and topping with the lid. This was cooked on the Beans/Chilli function for 10 minutes. Sometimes, you know exactly what you want and how to cook it best. The Manual setting allows you to take control and programme the countdown timer to your desired cooking time, as well as choose between High and Low heat settings, so you can get the best results in a way that you already know works.

Mid-range sizes can handle most recipes for a small family. Look at models between 4 and 6 quarts, and you’ll get the best of both worlds. Storage Space To make enough food for everyone in your home, you must have a large enough slow cooker to accommodate the required number of servings.She told me, “Six quarts is ideal for a household of four. Never buy less than four quarts. Most slow cooker meals are great for leftovers, so don’t get one that’s too small. Plus, it takes a while to cook in a slow cooker, so it’s more efficient and cost-effective to cook in larger batches.” Did you know an empty slow cooker could weigh 20 pounds or more? I can’t stress enough how important it is to buy one that you can handle safely and comfortably, especially when filled with hot food. Versatility The pot looks great, and its smaller 5.6L size makes it easy to carry around and place on kitchen surfaces even if you don’t have much space. However, if you’re looking for a slow cooker to make large meals in, you may be better off purchasing other larger models for the same price. It’s always better to have too much capacity than not enough. This is especially true if you want to make large batches of food and divide them up for daily meals.

For most households of four or more, I recommend a 6-quart slow cooker. The smallest I’d suggest is 4 quarts because slow cooking is a long process. It’s a waste of time to cook for six to eight hours and only get one or two meals out of it. Think about everyone that frequently eats under your roof, including family and friends. Are you often preparing meals for just yourself? Do you have five or more people to feed? Or are you the go-to chef in your neighborhood? For when you want to crisp up your cooking to give it that perfect finish, the stoneware bowl and tempered glass lid are safe to pop in the oven. This exercise also works when determining sizes for saucepans and other cookware or appliances that use capacity for measurement.Small slow cookers are inadequate for large family meals. Large sizes aren’t ideal for creating small dishes because they use energy inefficiently. If you’re looking for the most versatile option, shoot for the middle. If you use a slow cooker frequently and have a lot of counter space, you can also opt to leave it out as part of your kitchen decor.
