In fact, they're real multi-taskers, even up to the challenge of cooking a whole cut of meat – including sweet and salty coca cola ham or a tender beef joint.

Our slow cookers will make versatile and practical additions to your small kitchen appliance collection. You may have seen the Ninja Foodi Max 9-in-1 Multi Cooker advertised on TV, or even being put through its paces by fans on TikTok. There are a number of benefits to using a slow cooker, but one of their main plus points is that they’re highly convenient — you don’t even need to check and stir your ingredients. So, you can make a casserole, but not give it a crispy potato topping like you can with the Ninja Foodi Max.To get started, you just need to fit the cooking pot, then what you do next will depend on which cooking function you are using. Currys Group Limited and Currys Retail Limited are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Pressure Cooking uses super-heated steam to quickly cook tender meals – perfect for tenderising large cuts of meat, enjoy juicy beef brisket or pulled pork in a fraction of the time. You guessed it – one has two more cooking functions (and the 9-in-1 also has a smart stainless steel casing and is slightly bigger). You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

Testers were also pleased with the energy efficiency, and the clear digital display panel meant it was easy to know when our dish was ready. Our testers found the timer, which beeps to tell you when cooking has finished, a little tricky to hear too.The low temp is a bit too low for what I needed though, so I cooked everything on high and the results were great. Cook from frozen and enjoy deliciously crispy results – perfect when you need to get dinner ready in a hurry.
