Pros & Cons
Pros
Slow cooker is ready to go from the packet. The meat is regularly tender and the flavours are fully infused throughout. Cooks my curries and stews to perfection. Comes with instructions and 2 how to recipes.
This is the best slow cooker that i have owned. The fact this is also a slow cooker is a massive bonus. The digital part makes our old model look or seem like something from the ‘stone age’.
It is easy to clean, the middle crock pot is separate to the heating part. Cleaning isn't too difficult if you don't overfill the pot, because the lid and seal don't really get dirty. It has a clear glass lid with a ceramic inner dish or bowl that are... Read More

Considering you can easily pay a few hundred pound for a decent sous vide; so to get something which can not only do this plus ... Read More
Competitiveness
I purchased this to replace my other slowcooker as i have started doing more sous-vide cooking.
This also allows for much lower temperature settings than most slowcookers, perfect for sous-vide cooking amongst other things.
