FAQs

What capacity is this slow cooker?

This slow cooker has a generous 6.5-litre capacity, perfect for preparing meals for large families, entertaining guests, or batch cooking.

Can I use the pot on an induction hob?

No, the removable aluminium pot is hob-proof and can be used on gas and electric stovetops for searing, but it is not compatible with induction hobs.

How do I clean the slow cooker?

The removable cooking pot and the toughened glass lid are dishwasher safe. The main slow cooker base should be unplugged and wiped clean with a damp cloth; do not immerse it in water.

What are the three heat settings for?

The three heat settings typically include Low for longer cooking times, High for faster cooking, and often a 'Warm' or 'Auto' setting to keep food at serving temperature after cooking is complete.

Can I really sear meat in the slow cooker pot?

Yes, a key feature is its 'Sear and Stew' capability. You can use the removable aluminium pot directly on your stovetop (excluding induction) to sear meats and sauté vegetables before placing it back into the slow cooker base.

Is the lid oven-safe?

While the lid is made of toughened glass, its primary purpose is for slow cooking. It is not recommended for oven use as the handle or other components may not be designed for high oven temperatures.

How long does food typically take to cook?

Cooking times vary widely depending on the recipe, ingredients, and chosen heat setting. Generally, 'Low' settings can cook for 6-10 hours, while 'High' settings can cook for 3-5 hours. Always follow your recipe's guidance.

Troubleshooting

Food is not cooking or cooking too slowly.

Ensure the slow cooker is plugged in securely and switched on. Verify the heat setting is correct for your recipe (High for faster cooking, Low for longer periods). Ensure the lid is properly seated to retain heat and moisture. Avoid frequently lifting the lid, as this can extend cooking time.

Food is sticking to the bottom of the pot.

While the pot is non-stick, always add sufficient liquid as specified in your recipe. For best results, lightly grease the pot with oil or cooking spray before adding ingredients, especially for dishes with less liquid or starches.

Pot feels loose or wobbly in the base.

Ensure the removable pot is correctly seated in the slow cooker base. The pot is designed to fit snugly. If it continues to feel loose, check for any debris or obstructions in the base or under the pot that might prevent proper seating.

The slow cooker won't turn on.

Check that the appliance is properly plugged into a functional power outlet. Test the outlet with another appliance if necessary. Ensure the control dial is set to a heat setting (Low, High, or Warm/Auto) and not in the 'Off' position.

Steam is escaping from under the lid.

A small amount of steam escaping is normal during slow cooking. However, if excessive steam is escaping, ensure the lid is seated correctly and there are no food particles preventing a good seal. The toughened glass lid is designed to allow some steam release while maintaining internal heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Streamlined one-pot cooking from searing to slow cooking.
  • Generous 6.5L capacity suits families and meal prep.
  • Significantly reduces washing up thanks to dishwasher-safe components and hob-proof pot.
  • Enhances flavour by allowing direct searing of ingredients.
  • Non-stick and lightweight pot makes serving easy.
  • User-friendly with three adaptable heat settings.

Cons

  • Removable pot is not compatible with induction hobs for searing.
  • No explicit mention of a built-in timer, which some users prefer for unattended cooking.
  • The outer slow cooker base is not dishwasher safe and requires manual cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Initial Setup: Before first use, wash the removable pot and glass lid with warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the exterior of the slow cooker base with a damp cloth. Place the clean pot securely into the slow cooker base.
  • Compatibility: This slow cooker features a 6.5L capacity, making it suitable for households of various sizes, from single servings to large family meals. The removable aluminium pot is safe for use on gas and electric stovetops for searing, but it is not compatible with induction hobs.
  • Care and Maintenance: The removable cooking pot and the toughened glass lid are both dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. For the slow cooker base, ensure it is unplugged and completely cool before wiping its exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water or any other liquid. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on any part of the appliance.
