Learn how to use a slow cooker, what to cook in it and so much more with this definitive guide to everything slow cookers.

The first thing you need to consider with any slow cooker is its capacity – each will list its bowl size in litres. Bear in mind that this won’t translate to the same amount of food, as you shouldn’t fill slow cookers to the brim. This gap allows your food to bubble and simmer properly. The usable cooking space will be around three-quarters of its bowl size, for example, a five-litre cooker can accommodate around four litres of food. Yes, you can turn almost any recipe into a slow cooker meal! Find a similar recipe that’s written as a slow cooker recipe and use those instructions, or follow these steps. With a large capacity in each, these 3 slow cooker pots are ideal for cooking casseroles, curries, chillies and more. With individual temperature controls and three heat settings on each, these pots allow you to cook a variety of dishes at once. Size: With sizes starting at 1-litre through to a whopping 6.5-litres, choosing the right size for you is imperative. The smallest sizes are suitable when cooking for one or two. 3-litres to 4.5-litres (one of the most popular sizes on the market) serve four, and the large 6-6.5-litre models are super for families and batch cooking. It's also worth bearing in mind that the capacity stated on the sales blurb is the size of the bowl, not the working capacity, which can sometimes be half that.

The controls tend to be similar on most slow cookers with a ‘low’ setting for longer, slower cooking throughout the day and a ‘high’ setting for faster cooking with similar slow-cooked results. With a 3.5 litre cooking bowl, you have ample space to serve up to 4-5 people, making it perfect for serving the family a delicious meal or even storing some away for another day. You can activate a keep warm setting to keep your food ready for as long as six hours after your cooking mode has finished. The sear mode took only a few minutes to pre-heat and we were able to brown our onions before adding curry ingredients, which delivered a lot of extra flavour.The slow cooker's 'reduce' function was useful for bubbling away excess liquid after slow cooking.An increasingly popular way of cooking, sous-vide is a French term that simply means ‘under vacuum’. You place your food inside a sealed pouch and then pop it into a temperature-controlled water bath to cook. A slow cooker is an electric appliance that simmers food at a low temperature over a long period of time. Because of this low-and-slow method, slow cookers are great for breaking down and tenderizing large pieces of meat like pot roasts or beef stews. But that’s not all they can do. Slow cookers are also a home cook’s go-to choice for soups and ribs, plus dips, drinks and bread. Beef: From briskets to ground beef dishes, our slow-cooker beef recipes are a snap to put together with a little help from your skillet. With two individually controlled compartments, the Tower 2–Pot Slow Cooker prides itself on its versatility and generous food storage space. With a combined 5.2L capacity, divided evenly between the two ceramic bowls, this impressive slow cooker is perfect for preparing two separate meals at once – or a single meal with mulitple parts, for example, curry and rice. In addition to its versatility, there are many other benefits to using a slow cooker, like its ability to evenly cook foods hands-free. This frees home cooks to do other things around the house, run errands or go to work for the day. Plus, slow cookers are straightforward to use and usually require no more set up than plugging it in.
