Millie Fender heads up all things small appliances at Ideal Home. There’s nothing she loves more than testing out the latest and greatest cooking gadgets, for indoor and outdoor use, from toasters to air fryers. She reviewed the Morphy Richards Sear and Stew from her own kitchen, testing it for quality cooking and ease of use. Sear on the Stove: The removable pot is hob proof, so you only have to use one pot from start to finish - sear and sauté any ingredients first for increased flavour, and then transfer to the slow cooker

I like the look of this slow cooker too. The titanium model is nice, and the rose gold option is a jazzy look for those who have kettles and toasters to match. If you spend a lot of time out of the house you may be better choosing a digital slow cooker which will allow you to set delay timers and switch automatically to a keep-warm setting. However, a manual slow cooker will cost a lot less and still deliver great results. About this review, and the reviewer Keep Warm: Don't stress next time you're running late, easy time has a keep warm mode that will have your dinner perfect for up to two hours after the programme finishes

Complete Control: Unique dial to take all the guesswork out of cooking Simply select when you want your meal to be ready, and Easy Time will choose the right heat for you Manually override or amend the heat settings (low, medium, or high) with a touch of a button Slow cooking should be self-contained cooking - no one wants to double their washing up by browning meat and veg in a separate pan. With multiple browning and cooking settings, our 6.5L Searing Slow Cooker does it all in one pot, so you can cook your food from raw to ready without faffing with multiple pans. Giving you the choice of five different browning settings - Gentle, Low, Medium, Sauté and High Sear - you can pre-cook your meat or veg exactly how you like it, before letting one of the four pre-set cooking functions get to work. With the options of Low and High slow cook settings, as well as Steam cook and homemade yoghurt settings, there's a lot more to this slow cooker than meets the eye.
