The 2 litre capacity 18446 Russell Hobbs Slow Cooker features three temperature control settings, high, low and keep warm. Use the Low heat setting for gently simmering food for an extended period of time without overcooking. The high setting is ideal for speeding up the cooking process, baking, cooking dried beans or pulses. The warm setting is ideal for keeping meals warm overnight or when you are out during the day.This slow cooker not only looks good, with its smart white finish, it also has a range of quality features designed to achieve perfect results every time with a removable 2 litre bowl, toughened glass lid to view food whilst cooking, power indicator light, and non slip feet. Slow cookers work by applying a small amount of constant heat over a period usually between 3-12 hours. As a result, the fibres of cheaper cuts of meat for example, break down, providing great tasting food at a low cost. This may seem like a long time, but once all your prepared ingredients are in the pot, you don’t need to worry about anything until everything is cooked. Just don’t forget to switch your slow cooker on! Like steamers they are more energy efficient that using the hob, grill or oven, while slow cooking also keeps more of the vitamins and nutrients in food than other cooking methods, including boiling, where nutrients leach away into the water. With a bit of preparation the night before, or in the morning before you go to work, you can come home to delicious, piping hot food. On average, a couple replacing two shop-bought ready meals a week each, with a slow cooked meal, could save around £600 a year. So it’s great in the current climate when we all need count the pennies a bit more.
