Slow Cookers

Slow cookers prove that good things come to those who wait. Putting your favourite ingredients in a slow cooker at the start of the day means that by dinner time you'll have delicious beef stroganoff, pulled pork, or veggie casserole waiting for you.

Slow cookers from Appliances Online come in a variety of different sizes to better suit different households. Investing in a large pot slow cooker means you can create enough pumpkin soup, beef stew, Indian curry or Hungarian goulash to last an entire week.

Low-temperature slow-cookers are safe to use over long periods, so you can feel confident about leaving them unattended. For added stability and safety, choose a slow cooker with non-slip feet, cord storage, and heat-resistant handles. The glass lids on many slow cookers allow you to keep an eye on your creations without removing the lid and releasing the heat.

Several different slow cookers, such as Breville Searing Slow Cooker, allow you to brown and sear your meat before slow cooking, all in the same pot. For additional convenience, many slow cookers also include dishwasher-safe parts.

At Appliances Online, we have an expansive selection of slow cookers from top brands, such as Sunbeam, Crock-Pot, Russell Hobbs, Tefal, Westinghouse, and Morphy Richards.

Experiment with a wide selection of slow cooker recipes, allowing you to ditch the frypan on your cooktop and craft delicious meals with ease.

Explore the large range of cooking and baking kitchen appliances at Appliances Online, with a wide selection of pressure cookers, rice cookers, and multi cookers.


What’s Cooking? Practical Features of A Slow Cooker

Thanks to the fast-paced lifestyle of the modern world, the trusty slow cooker is making a significant comeback in many kitchens.

At Appliances Online, we understand the value of a reliable, efficient stew pot. Our selection of slow cookers is ready to meet your cooking needs, and if you’re undecided on which one to get, we’ve got a handy guide to help you find your ideal match.

What is a slow cooker?

First patented in 1940 and popularised by the Crockpot model, the modern slow cooker uses electric heating elements that gently cook food over hours. This process not only tenderises meats but also enriches flavours over low and sustained heat, allowing flavours to build as the dish cooks slowly.

Using a slow cooker is both a time-saver and a way to make nutritious meals easily. It can also be more energy-efficient than an oven, depending on your cooking method. Additionally, the high and low settings on the slow cooker allow you to control cooking time and temperature, making it versatile for different recipes.

Pressure cookers vs slow cookers

A popular question about slow cookers is, ‘Why do I need one if I already have a pressure cooker?’

While they may seem similar on the outside, slow cookers and pressure cookers cater to different cooking needs and styles. Pressure cookers work on the principle of high-pressure steam cooking to greatly reduce cooking times. In contrast, slow cookers operate by cooking food at a low temperature over several hours, tenderising meats and developing deep flavours in stews and soups.

The texture and taste of the final cooked dish typically differ as well; slow cookers gently break down the fibres in food, resulting in soft and tender dishes, whereas pressure cookers achieve tenderness and flavour in a fraction of the time, though sometimes at the expense of texture.

Pressure cookers are appealing because they cook fast, but the trade-off may include higher energy consumption and the loss of some flavours and textures in your dish. If you’re a quality-conscious cook, then the slow cooker is a great cooking appliance to own.

Selecting the perfect slow cooker

When selecting the perfect slow cooker for your kitchen, you’ll want to consider a few key factors first.

First, note the capacity of the slow cooker model or unit you’d like. Standard sizes range from 1.8 to 8 litres in capacity. The small slow cooker sizes are ideal for making meals for one or two people, while the large slow cooker sizes are ideal for larger families, potluck dinners, or holiday meals.

Additionally, the functionality of the slow cooker can greatly enhance your cooking experience. Keep an eye out for features such as sauté settings, automatic ‘keep warm’ settings, and other cooking functions like steaming and sous vide.

Digital slow cooker models also include temperature control, allowing you to set specific cooking times and temperatures to suit your cooking preferences.

If you’d like a more traditional feel to your slow cooker, you could choose between ceramic and metal pots, too, though we recommend checking if the ceramic pot is replaceable first, in case some brands may not carry replacement pots for their slow cookers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do slow cookers work?

A slow cooker gently coaxes flavours and textures from your ingredients by trapping moisture. Heating elements cook the sealed pot over a long period of time on low heat while using minimal power. The layered pot system allows meats to tenderise and sauces to cook consistently while lowering the risk of crisping or burning from stovetop cooking over high heat.

What are the benefits of using a slow cooker?

Slow cookers are known for their energy efficiency and relatively easy clean-up. Moreover, the slow cooking process retains flavours and textures better than many high-heat cooking methods.
 

What features should I look for when buying a slow cooker?

When shopping for a slow cooker, consider the unit’s features. A manual slow cooker requires a more hands-on cooking approach, while a programmable slow cooker allows for greater convenience. Some common features include programmable settings for ease of use, different cooking capacities, and inner pot materials (metal or ceramic).

Appliances Online offers a selection of slow pot cookers with many of these features. Feel free to reach out to our customer support if you’re looking for a specific brand, model, or slow cooker feature.
