Product Information

Whether you’re doing some party planning or making various parts of a meal, the triple slow cooker has you covered. Carefully remove the roast from skillet and place the roast in the slow cooker. Use a spatula to scrape the brown bits off the bottom and the sides of the skillet. These add amazing flavor to your gravy. Gently pour the beef broth into the skillet, cover and allow to come to a boil. While the Broth is Boiling Some things can deter us all from cooking. Having to transfer food from a pan to a pot, cleaning up or that annoying puddle of water you get from putting the lid down on the worktop when it comes to the best slow cookers. If that's you, you need this model, which can act as a cooker and a serving pot that you can plonk down straight on the dining table.

Functions: additional functions on the slow cooker including browning, reheating, reducing and whether it is hob or oven-safe Slow cookers with digital controls may also have a delay start, which is ideal if you’re out of the house for more than eight hours. This means you can start cooking at a time to suit you – while it’s hard to overcook recipes with a lot of liquid, this gives more freedom with dishes that could potentially start to dry out. A timer is another handy feature – this will either turn the machine off after cooking or put it into a limited time keep warm mode. This cooker has a lid rest in the center that is designed to hold all 3 lids at one time without taking up extra space. It has a nice copper finish as well as anti-slip feet. The slow cooking process helps these roasts get more moist and tender as they cook, unlike leaner roasts, which tend to dry out when cooked in a slow cooker.When testing these slow cookers we were keen to try out each of their main cooking settings, so while a more simple manual slow cooker was used to make a stew or simple curry, we pressure cooked meat and steamed fish in the more complex slow cookers on the market. When slow cookers came with digital settings we attempted delay-start recipes and tested how easy they were to use. My reason for preferring to use the slow cooker for making ANY pot roast is how very tender and juicy your meat remains. Sure, you get the same juiciness from an electric pressure cooker, but the steps and time to make roasts is a bit longer.

Making your roast in the oven is the old-fashioned, tried-and-true method. And many times, the old ways are best. Here are the steps. Prep Work for Oven Pot Roast Much like the others, this buffet-style triple cooker has handy lid rests and individual controls for each pot. They are 2.5-quart pots with a slotted side that you can leave the serving spoon in during the serving process. The pots and lids are all dishwasher-safe. As the beef cooks, the connective tissues (that make the beef tough) slowly break down into gelatin, and the fat melts into the meat, making the meat succulent and juicy. 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.

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. You simply can’t turn your nose up at this triple slow cooker option, mostly because it’s a nice red color that will catch anyone’s eye. This option is incredibly unique because it’s set up in a round setting rather than a buffet-style fixture. Slow cookers are also brilliant for less-than-confident cooks, easily creating all those meals that seem a bit scary on the hob. That’s because slow cooking develops the flavours of food for richer, tastier results. It’s not just dinners that slow cookers excel at making either. They make great porridge, granola, stewed apples, bread and butter pudding, fudge and dips. You can use your slow cooker to melt chocolate, as a Bain-marie. How much should I spend on a slow cooker?
