Slow cookers are making a comeback, so we've been active in the Fantastic Food Test Kitchen
Here are our product picks, plus we have given plenty of practical cookery tips
on how to use them.
Slow cooker recipes are phenomenally popular on bbcgoodfood.com.
When it's the time-saving element, economical credentials or how they require
Minimal labour which makes you love them so much, but we're with you all the way -
Slow cookers are a winner all round. They vary wildly in price, and you can pick up a slow
Cooker for as little as a tenner (or as much as a few hundred pounds), but different models
Meet different criteria. So what should you look for in a slow cooker, and which version is
best for you? We spent the day in our Test Kitchen to find out...
Heat distribution: Even with lower priced models, small and medium-sized slow cookers
Often have the most reliable heat distribution. Once you start dealing with bigger pots, it
Can get a bit patchy.
Transparent lids: For monitoring purposes, it is useful for a slow cooker to have a
transparent glass or thick plastic lid.
Size: If you are cooking for a family, be aware of the fact the size of bowl does not necessarily
Denote the total amount of food you'll receive at the end - especially because you can not fill slow cookers
Directly to the rim. A 5-litre model will most likely produce around 4-litres of meals.
Hob-safe: If you are going to be making recipes with meat, then Consider a inner ceramic pot
That may be used on the hob for browning purposes.
How we tested: We tested 12 slow cookers using sausages, beans and canned tomatoes,
Leaving every machine to cook for six hours.

Test kitchen top tip
"Take time to brown your meat very well. Slow cookers tend to 'leach' meat of its own colour,

Well browned to begin with. As liquid in the food doesn't reduce, flavours do not become more
Concentrated with this cooking style, which means you need to pack in as much flavour as you can.
