Cheap and.... awesome!

published

A review on CHOICE that gave it a big thumbs up based on its price and cookability coerced me into buying one of these slow cookers. I have used plenty of others in the past but was reserved given its price. I cook traditional slow cooker meals from casseroles to soups to roasts and curries and I haven't been able to discern any quality deviation from previous more expensive slow cookers I have used. I have since bought friends and family these for their birthdays - for once this is a case of why pay loads for a perfectly good product. The internal cookpot seems no different to others and I have also interchanged with a Westinghouse cookpot that fits. Highly impressed.

Purchased in April 2021 at Big W Retail Stores for A$25.00.

Budget meat falls apart on your fork!

published

Bought for $22 from Big W as our stove/oven blew up and we can not afford to replace. Bought this to help cook up meat. I have never used one before and have to say I am converted. Decent size for our little family (4), easy to clean (but the actual pot is a little heavy and bulky - unsure of all are like this), easy to understand booklet, as recommended by the lady in Big W put the meat on Low for 8 hours and you will have the best tasting meat...and she was right. This would be great for any family on a budget and budget conscious as it turns your basic cuts of meat into the best.
Highly recommend and super easy to use.

Really good for the price you pay

published

They’re selling for $22 at the moment and for what you pay it is definitly worth it. I’ve had mine for over a year now and have ya don problems and it cooks what I need it to in the normal amount of time. I recommend highly and have bought for family members because I like it so much

Cheap but functional, very happy with it.

published

We bought this unit as it was a larger one than the small one we had. We realised perhaps we should have bought an even larger one but overall it is good. It is easy to clean and thusfar proved reliable, given everything is made in China anyway, even the brand named stuff.

Great Value

published

This is a great value for ($22) that I picked up from Big W. I had never used a slow cooker before but it is so easy to throw everything in before work and have dinner ready when you get home. Definitely worth buying if you don't have time to cook every night.

Perfect Basic Slow Cooker

published

I have recently been involved in a cooking group catering for a large construction crew and bought this slow cooker to help with cooking large amounts of curry, casseroles and soup. This slow cooker cost $22. I have seen the exact same cooker for double that price. It has low, high and warm settings. The lid fits well. It is easy to clean. Food cooks beautifully. The only option it doesn't have that may be useful is a timer but as I am home during the day I am ok with manually adjusting the heat setting. I love this slow cooker and am very happy with the teeny price I paid!

What temperature does it stay at when on warm setting?

I’ve only used it twice but it depends on how often/when you opened the lid. I would say based on my experience it keeps it warm enough to eat, but I have opened the lid so a lot of heat can be lost (happens with any SC). Either way for the money and features it’s still cooked mouthwatering pulled pork and pull apart chicken! Hope that helps.

Not sure of the exact temperature but it's still hot enough to eat. Depending on what's cook, if found it can dry some meals out.
