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.

Design: Are you looking for a simple, budget-friendly option that just slow-cooks (but does it extremely well) or something more versatile that sous-vides, pressure cooks, bakes and roasts too? Do bear in mind that the more technological the slow cooker, the higher the price. The Russell Hobbs 23200 Stainless Steel Slow Cooker is the answer to easy and convenient cooking, giving you ultimate tenderness and maximum taste. If you have a busy day ahead simply prep your ingredients and put them in the slow cooker and enjoy a delicious heart-warming meal on arrival home. You can make succulent, juicy stews and hearty hotpots with next to no effort!With so many different slow cookers out there, choosing the right one for you can be confusing. Here are a few questions you might want to consider. Finished results: the tenderness of the meat and vegetables, the consistency of the cooked sauce and the heat of the food when serving

The Slow Cooker from Russell Hobbs has a 3.5L liter capacity ensuring you will always have enough space to cook up plenty of culinary delights for the entire family. Heat retention: how the cooker holds heat for safety on the worktop and whether the food catches or burns Functions: additional functions on the slow cooker including browning, reheating, reducing and whether it is hob or oven-safeFor ease of use and practicality the Russell Hobbs 23200 has a removable cooking pot allowing you to easily remove and serve food. It’s also handy for cleaning and is dishwasher safe too. The cool touch handles on the main body allow you to move the appliance around the kitchen safely. No liquid escapes from a slow cooker, so when adapting a recipe not specifically written for a slow cooker, reduce any added liquid by a third.

The inner pot needs to be at room temperature before you start cooking. If you've kept a slow cooker dish in the fridge, you must wait for it to warm up before turning it on. Rice and pasta dishes work best cooked on high for the shortest time possible. Always use easy-cook rice, rinsed well first – the more starch you rinse from the rice, the better the finished result. The Russell Hobbs 23200 Slow Cooker has 3 different heat settings; high, low and keep warm. This allows you to tailor the temperature to what you are cooking resulting in succulent, tasteful meals all week long. The keep warm function is also handy for serving hot food at parties or to simply keep your dish warm ready for seconds!
