The beef in our slow cooker beef stew was soft and succulent; the sauce was punchy and flavoursome; all the ingredients were well combined; and the vegetables were soft, with a very slight bite to them.Its shatterproof qualities also mean if you knock it on the worktop or drop it on the floor, it won’t crack or shatter like standard ceramic slow cookers. The three manual settings comprise of low, high, and auto, but Breville recommends using the low option as a keep warm function if you need to. It’s an impressive looking unit on your bench or in your collection with its shiny red finish making quite an impact.

The latter is not to be used for cooking, but it is a handy way to keep your food at a steady temperature for up to four hours once a dish is done. Homeware brand Andrew James says the auto setting allows people to set the appliance to cook frozen food for the day to be ready to serve 8-10 hours later, but this presumably does not mean for meat, fish or poultry. The digital settings on this appliance allow you choose a low, high or keep warm setting and how long you want food to cook for. Tip in the ingredients and switch it on before you go to bed, and you’ll wake up to a hearty bowl of slow-cooked oats.Once done it’s as easy as lifting the inner bowl off the stove and moving it straight back into your slow cooker unit, ready to begin slow cooking. Our tester chose this smaller, classic version to make the most of its abilities as a compact cooker. If there are gaps, unfinished edges, or flimsy parts, the slow cooker will get a lower rating than models that are more sturdily built. Our tester found this function exceptionally useful when needing a little extra time as they made a fish curry for some dinner guests. The inner pot is perfect to sear the meat with onions and herbs etc on the hob and then place it back in the slow cooker to cook for a few hours and the meat is literally falling off the bone and is so delicious.
