Not too much I can say, really, and nothing to fault. It's a very nice, smart looking cooker with three heat settings and a crock that is removable and dishwasher safe. It comes with an instruction book that contains a dozen or so simple recipies, many of which we've tried and all are very nice. I think the price is very reasonable and we're certainly getting our money's worth, using it once a week. Sausage casseroles in particular are excellent cooked this way.
Great for the 9 to 5 November 6, 2007

I bought this slow cooker as i've just started working full time after finishing uni, on my Mum's recommendation. I'll admit I was sceptical about slow cookers - not getting to a high enough temp and cooking for hours on end. But I have to say Mum's are always right!! I haven't had a problem with the slow cooker its self, its easily big enough for a family of 4 and is really easy to clean. The slow cooker doesn't take up a great deal of space either. The recipes included in the manual use mainly store cupboard ingredients and are really simple to follow.
I was sceptical at first but now I'd recommend this to anyone who doesn't fancy cooking a proper meal when they get home after a hard day's work. Plus you'll be greeted by a delicious smell when you walk through the door!! What could be better?
Morphy Richards 48710 Oval Slow Cooker October 9, 2007

When choosing the size of 'Slow Cooker you need', it might be worth noting that although this is a 3.5L capacity, this actually means a maximum working capacity of c2.5L.
(In the case of the larger version, Morphy Richards 48715 Slow Cooker Stainless Steel 6.5L 350W,the maximum working capacity is c4.5L.)
Stainless Steel base with three cooking settings.
Removable OVAL ceramic crock pot which is easy to clean out with hot, soapy water or pop it in the dishwasher.
(nb Due to the porous base it shouldn't be left standing in water for long.)
Comes complete with an adequate recipe choice to get you started, so no need to purchase an additional cook book!
Manufacturer's Details:- COPIED HERE FOR INFORMATION AND TO ENHANCE THE AMAZON PRODUCT DETAIL:-
'Slow cooking gives you convenient, versatile and flavoursome food.
Longer cooking times allow better distribution of flavours giving them time to blend and season the food.
A slow cooker heats food gently, making it a great way to cook meats, in particular less expensive cuts - such as stewing beef - which are tenderised through the long cooking process.
Remember there are no limits to the potential uses of your slow cooker, only your imagination!'
Low, medium and high settings, with `medium' being the standard setting (6-8 hours)
Toughened glass lid
Dishwasher proof/removable ceramic pot
'Cooltouch' handles
150 Watt
Non-slip feet

2 year guarantee
Concise instruction booklet, including a 'do's and do nots' section, which includes the following information:-`If using frozen meat and/or vegetables they need to be completely thawed out first.Pasta, seafood, milk and cream should be added towards the end of the cooking time....If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior to slow cooking, this must be done in an alternative pan. Do not try to brown or pre-cook food in the slow cooker.....'
Recipes include:-
Vegetable Soup
Chicken and Mushroom Casserole
New England Beef
Hungarian Goulash
Chilli Con Carne
Beef Curry
Irish Stew
Vegetarian Curry
Pears in Red Wine
Rice Pudding
The only re-education I have really needed is avoiding the temptation to open the lid and prod the contents during cooking, too often!
'Removing the lid will allow valuable heat to escape, reducing the efficiency of your slow cooker and increasing the cooking time. If you remove the lid more often than a couple of times to stir or add ingredients then you will need to allow 10-15 minutes extra cooking time each time the lid is removed.'
Manufacturer's Description
The healthy alternative to ready meals, slow cookers offer a convenient way to make fresh food. Easy to use, a slow cooker can be left safely cooking away while you are out and about so you can enjoy freshly cooked meals without being tied to the kitchen. Simply add the ingredients to the crock pot and the slow cooker will gradually cook your meal over the course of several hours meaning you're in control of the ingredients and when you eat.
Colour: Stainless Steel A New Oval Shape Slow Cooker That Brings Style Into Your Kitchen. It Can Be Used To Prepare Large Quantities Of Food As Well As Small Ones. It Comprises An Elegant Removable Crock-pot That Can Be Taken To The Table For Serving. The Glass Lid Allows You To Monitor Cooking Without Letting Heat Escape And The Crock-pot Goes Into The Dishwasher. - Use Pot To Serve At Table - Glass Lid For Monitoring Cooking - Variable Thermostat - Dishwasher Proof Removable Crock-pot - 2 Year Guarantee'
'Amazon Reviewer' SUMMARY:-
All in all, an excellent little machine for the price.
It does the job it says it will and I turned out a beautiful dish of `Beef in Red Wine' from the contents of the box, plus the ingredients, of course!
Perhaps one consideration when comparing more expensive alternatives, apart from the actual cooking capacity previously mentioned, is that there is no facility to pre-set a start time for this Morphy Richards slow cooker.

Bought this a couple of months ago to replace a small 1.5 litre sized one which I bought as I didn't think I'd use it often enough to warrant a larger size for the two of us. Wish I'd bought this one first: it's wonderful - I can now cook larger quantities and freeze for another meal. The meat just falls apart after cooking and is so tasty. Gave the small one to my 84 yr old mother who is now also enjoying the cheaper benefits of slow cooking. My son and daughter are vegetarian and particularly like the Ratatouille I make. So much so, that my son and his partner bought one also.
