Easy to use, seals well, pressure cooker cooks to perfection, cooking time can be reduced by turbo if you are in a hurry. Good buy

Purchased this as an early Christmas present for my mum. She’s been wanting one for a few months and I got it at a good price and used a gift card on it too. I was hesitant at first as we didn’t know if it would be very good, but it works brilliantly! My mum has already cooked 2 whole chickens (which we put in the oven to crisp up after), 2 soups and a chilli con carne dish (which was one of the recipes in the recipe book you get with the Crockpot - we found this dish was a little to liquidy, but we didn’t use kidney beans so that may have been why). It’s simple enough to use, if you read the instructions and watch a few videos online on how to use it. It’s also brilliant for making quick meals, especially after a long day at work.

Really really good piece of kitIrish stew made to perfection in 35 m

I purchased this because of the many different functions and I have not been disappointed. I use it practically every day and have bought a few as gifts because I can't recommend it enough. I mainly use the pressure cooker because you can have a very decent meal within 20-25 minutes. Everything is tender and tasty when pressure cooked. This also makes the best risotto in so little time and with little effort compared to the cooker top method. There is very little this amazing gadget can't cook. It is so easy to serve from and to clean. If there were a criticism, it would be that after much use the inner metal pot needs replacing and it appears that you can't buy these separately. This means that you have to buy a whole new pressure cooker which seems a shame when it works perfectly well otherwise.

This has prefunctions also manual you use If required I'm used to a pressure cooker on top of the stove.I I just need to try more recipes with this.. Overall very good.

I'm writing this review 3 years after my purchase. It works like the first day I bought it. I'm really happy with it. Made my cooking easier and affordable.

I waited well over a year to write a review so I had time to use my crockpot and test it’s limits.Well, let me tell you this, first: this has become an essential in my kitchen! I use it several times a week and so far, it looks like it’s going to last forever! There are so many safety system that they don’t even mention that it’s near impossible to break it. Soon as it heats up too much, it will stop and sound the alert. So no explosion or other unsavoury thing that can come with pressure cooking. The delay button and the keep warm function are fantastic tools for working parents. Pop the ingredients in, put the delay, enter the cooking program, and it will do its magic while you’re away. And when you come home with hungry kids, a hot, freshly cooked meal is waiting for you. Lifesaver doesn’t begin to qualify it!The other Thing I love about it is that my food will NEVER burn (unless I set myself up for that, I.e: not enough water for rice). I love that I can put let’s say lentils to cook, and not have to worry about it until it’s done. No watching, no stirring, no fiddling with the heat... meanwhile I can bathe the kid, spend quality time with them, read a book, watch an episode of Friends, etc...when you buy such equipment, one of the worries is that once the novelty effect wears off, it will be just one more big gadget wasting space in your cupboards. Well, fear not! That is not going to happen!That said, I need to go and make some porridge for the family... in my crockpot. And then I’ll get the soup started for tonight... in my crockpot! And tonight I’ll get some overnight slow cooked rice porridge... IN MY CROCKPOT!!So, if you haven’t gotten the hint, I love my Crockpot and I think every family in the Kingdom should have one. Heck! Get them on NHS! (This or any other similar item of other brands. I truly believe they all work the same)

I bought this for my wife and I to use as a one-pot replacement for our slow cooker and pressure cooker.This is a such an easy to use and intuitive machine, despite its limited manual and instructions, It is also a well-built and cleverly designed alternative to the market leader.We've used it for 2 saute and pressure-cooked recipes to date - Chicken Paprikash and Sweet and Sour Chicken - both with excellent results. We reckon we saved over 1.5 hours compared to equivalent stove top cooking. The difference was that the meat was more tender and the end flavours were more intense.Despite the lack of any recipes in the manual and the proliferation of American recipes online, this kind of multi functional electronic one pot cooking is definitely the way forward. We're already planning more adventurous meals in it for the coming weeks.We highly recommend it.UPDATE SEPT 2022:Love this device. Very robust and well made. It's so flexible yet intuitive and makes lovely, flavoursome meals in a fraction of the time it takes to make the same recipes on a stove top, in an oven or a slow cooker. It's a thing of beauty.An interesting twist is we have bought a smaller and lighter 3L Instant Pot Multi now to use in our caravan. Have to say, we prefer the design, operation, layout and build quality of the Crockpot Express Multi Turbo to this Instant Pot.
