 No problems, but it IS huge... August 8, 2008
After reading the reviews, I felt I was taking my life in my hands buying this. I went for a brushed steel model, but otherwise the same. I asked Morphy Richards about the overheating element etc, and the lady had only personally had one that had a faulty element.
I've not used a slow cooker before. I've been very happy with this one. But it's not slow - a whole chicken cooks in under 4 hours on medium etc, but despite the speed, everything is very tender.
Gave this four not five stars because you can't put the pot in the oven (which sometimes would be handy).
Everyone recommended getting a large model. And, yes, it's brilliant to be able to do a whole joint in it. But to do a stew, you would need to cook maybe 8 portions, which is a lot of meat. And a word of warning if you have weaker hands for any reason. This casserole is MASSIVE. My sink is barely big enough to hold it and I'm always a bit nervous as I wash it up.
Recommended.
 Great slow food July 19, 2008

I'm a fan of slow cooking and have several slow cookers in various sizes. I see from other reviewers that this particular cooker has divided opinion. I find that this one performs very well and doesn't seem to me much different from other slow cookers in its level of heating. One thing I would say is that the recipe leaflet with the cooker doesn't mention slow roasting as one of the things that you can do in it. The booklet implies that everything has to be immersed in liquid. Ignore this. I roast all sorts of joints, such as rolled should of pork or lamb. Slow roasted duck legs are particularly succulent done this way (brown the skin a bit in a frying pan and then about and hour and a half on High followed by a couple of hours on Low). In general, it's very flexible about timing and you can juggle between heat settings. I tend to start early with an initial period at High or Medium for an hour or so then switch to Low at which most meat can very slowly cook for ages. Whole, small chickens are delicious slow-roasted, but use High for most of the time and preferably check that the thick part of the leg has reached over 80 degrees centigrade to kill off any salmonella. I've just experimented with some rather tough beef back ribs that are rather tough when roasted, fast in a conventional oven, but were very tender in this slow cooker. I browned them a bit (as a rack) in a frying pan and then transferred them the pre-heated slow-cooker with about 200ml of hot beef fat. Two hours on Medium, plus 2 hours on LOW: result, succulent beef ribs. I've done something similar with pork ribs.
I always pre-heat slow-cookers if I'm adding hot liquid or fat with the meat.
Cooks fast for a slow cooker! June 2, 2008

Size - You can easily fit a joint / whole chicken in this slow cooker. There are only two of us and it's probably a bit big for our needs but would be excellent for a family.
Settings - There are 3 settings, low, medium and high. A lot of slow cooker books recommend starting the cooker on high. That is definitely not needed with this slow cooker as low is a bit, well, high!
Cooking time - A lot of reviewers have criticised the cooking time / thermostat but I don't have a problem with it and never 'crozzle' anything. Yes, if you turn the slow cooker on before you leave the house in the morning and don't eat until say 7pm then the contents will be crozzled. However, I bought a timer plug for mine. I set it to come on on low at around Midday and everything is cooked perfectly by the time I get home from work. I also find that the over eager thermostat can sometimes be a benefit....I've put mine on high at around 3pm for a couple of hours and then low for a couple of hours and again, everything is cooked to perfection.

This problem of burning food/cooking to fast must have been a faulty batch of
these because mine is fine half full on medium no probs i know a few people who have the 6.5 model and they have no problems either. I have looked into this and this is the only reveiw site that even mentions this. All i can say is that mine is 10/10 sorry.
CONVERTED!!! April 16, 2008

This is the first slow cooker I've ever had, after "slow cooking" on the top of the stove or in the oven for years I decided to buy one of these. I have the 6.5litre, and although I've only used it 3 times I'm very pleased with it. Yes, in line with what some of the critics have said on here, this slow cooker does tend to work quite rapidly if you use the high setting (I have found this setting more useful for allowing the sauce to bubble rapidly with the lid off in order to reduce the cooking liquor), but for normal cooking the low or medium settings are fine (although the low setting should only ever be used if you intend to leave this on all day while you are at work). The lid could be a little more snug fitting, however in my (limited) experience of this slow cooker it doesn't seem to affect it's performance too badly.
