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. While it's not cheap, for a slow cooker with 14 cooking modes, we think the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker is immensely good value. You can sauté your onions and beef before putting on the pressure cooker lid for some slow-cooked casserole.

Following the launch of the prototype of the ten-quart C-10 mixer in 1918, the company gave a number of models to company executives.

The best slow cookers you can buy in 2023

The KitchenAid mixer that most of us recognise today is based on the K series of mixers that were designed by Egmont Arens in the 1930s. He was tasked with producing an affordable, streamlined version of the original KitchenAid, and the stand design was born. The silhouette of this design has an official patent, which means that if you want to enjoy the look and innovative design of this mixer, then you can only enjoy its true design with a KitchenAid. All products, including hand mixers and juicers, are made from high quality materials. Durable gears and working mechanisms, as well as long-lasting and easy to clean stainless steel function knobs will not only last for years but they will continue to look top quality throughout this time. Today, the brand holds true to its original aim of producing high quality and genuinely useful kitchenware products, and buyers are still able to access products in a spectrum of colours. Although they are most commonly found in the US, the UK, and Australia, their products, especially the KitchenAid mixer, are found in kitchens around the world.
