5 of the Best Slow Cookers

By Skint Family | Updated on September 7, 2020

Slow cookers (also known as crock-pots) have increased in popularity during the past few years as people experiment with cooking ideas and discover how to use them to make all kinds of meals.

So, basically, a slow cooker is usually an oval-shaped cooking appliance that sits on your worktop and slowly cooks food. You can make casseroles, soups, currys, chilli, stews etc (check out these slow cooker recipes for some ideas). Slow cookers are great for working people who like to have a hot meal ready to eat when they get home from work. You can do all the prepping in the morning, lob everything into the slow cooker and set it to low. Eight hours later – it’s cooked and ready to eat.

Slow cooker buying guide

Slow cookers don’t cost a lot of money. Small ones are about £15 and larger ones are around £30. Typically, they come with three settings – low, high and keep warm. Fancy slow cookers with one or two more heat settings, digital timers and hinged lids will set you back about £40-£50. For most people, the mid-range slow cookers work just fine.

Capacity is something to consider when choosing the best slow cooker for you and your family. Typically, you’ll see slow cookers available in the following sizes: 1.5L, 2.4L, 3.5L, 4.7L, 6.5L. The more mouths you have to feed, the larger slow cooker you’ll need!

Slow cookers are usually dishwasher safe and have a toughened see-through glass lid. But obviously check the finer details when you’re making your choice.

The list below shows the 5 most popular slow cookers for sale at Amazon today.
