So my trusty crockpot have broken and I’m in the market for a new one. I’ve been looking at the new range of multi cooker. Theres Breville, Philips, and crock Pot. does anyone have any recommendations?

Breville fan here. Get the oval shape not the round one. Small roasts, etc, fit better in oval.

with most multi cookers the slow cook function is not as slow as it could be. Food tends to cook quite quickly. other than that I would highly recommend a multi cooker. I use mine frequently.

Just purchased an oval Russell Hobbs one on special for $39. Still got my old Goldaire one too but it has a small crack and one of these days it will probably break. Both are 3.5 litres. I did wonder about a bigger one but I would struggle to lift it when full plus they are so much bigger and I don't have that much storage space. Don't purchase the fast/slow multicookers too many problems with them.

Have you used it yet, strathview? I'd be interested to hear your comments because I recently purchased the same slow cooker and find the temperatures are much lower than the recipes allow for. I mean when the recipe says 8 hours on low I'd need to do it on high to get the meat cooked in 8 hours.

Crockpot went kaput and i got a sunbeam aviva multicooker, i love it, the slow cook is great. and all the other functions . the sunbeam crockpot was great but i got a new russell hobbs and it cooked too hot, then the bowl cracked.

I have a Breville which would now be about 14/15 years old and I love it. Won a Russell Hobbs one as a prize at the local shops, used it once and hate it. It doesn't cook very well and takes ages. Give me Breville every time.

Only purchased last weekend so will give it a go this weekend and let you know the outcome. I did wonder about the Russell Hobbs as a brand. Will put a mutton leg in it and see how it cooks.
