Slow cookers vary considerably, so follow your manufacturer's manual for guidelines on temperatures and cooking times. This pot is hob-safe (gas and electric), meaning you can sear any meat or cook ingredients on the hob before transferring it to the slow cooker.On the plus side, the hinged lid allowed us to check in on our dishes without leaving splatters or drips of condensation on the worktop.

If there are gaps, unfinished edges, or flimsy parts, the slow cooker will get a lower rating than models that are more sturdily built. The ease of arriving home to a hot meal ready to eat is a convenient luxury that simply makes life easier. But for versatility and quality of the results, this Russell Hobbs model is a great option in our eyes. It's incredibly gentle but effective in its cooking, producing meat that simply falls apart with zero burning after a full eight-hour test. It comes with three settings: high, medium and low, and has an automatic timer that runs for up to 12 hours in one-hour increments.
