Just before we get into the detail of analysing the price of this product, we want to briefly highlight the importance of setting yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a suitable product. It’s all too often that we get carried away when shopping and find ourselves buying a fantastic product, but probably actually overdelivers on what we need and therefore costs a lot more than we should have spent. So spend a bit of time looking around at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products in the Multi cookers category and use that alongside your own financial situation to set yourself a budget. TheCleverChefalso works well when you prefer to prepare one-pot dishes. These dishes take less time to complete, and they are delicious. Plus, you can use the recipes the manufacturer has included with the device if you need a little inspiration.You have a variety of individual pre-set programmes to choose from in this regard, all yielding delicious golden and crisp results you might not find from other multi cookers on the market. The fast one-pot multi cooker offers multiple cooking functions such as Pressure Cooker, Air Fryer, Slow Cook, Steam, Sear/Saute, Bake/Roast and Grill. The handy LCD touchscreen allows you to switch between programmes and cooking functions.

There is also the added benefit of a slow cooker function, that makes it a good option for those looking to leave the device to do its thing while they head for a busy day at the office.Multi Cookers will vary with the functions available. However these are the most common functions of a multi cooker: A keen home cook, she's always whipping up new creations and experimenting in the kitchen. Over the past few months, she's been on a quest to find and try the top slow cookers and multi-cookers for Mumsnet and, with the help of the best slow cooker recipe books, has become somewhat of an expert in this area; she knows exactly what makes a standout kitchen gadget and brings this know-how to every review she writes. Why you should trust us COOKING MODES: The CleverChef boasts an impressive array of functions—Steam, Stew, Soup, Roast, Poach, Bread Rise, Bake, Fish, Sauté, Rice, Pasta, Slow Cook High or Low, and Yoghurt Making. A customizable DIY feature also lets you tailor your favourite recipes to this versatile appliance.

No guessing, no fails - just perfectly cooked meals every time. You can enjoy the slow cooked taste in fast food time. The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Drew&Cole is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Multi cookers category. Although it's missing a pressure cook and air fry setting, that's to be expected for a multi-cooker at this price point. It's worth noting that it is quite bulky due to its wide dimensions, but we think the Good to Go is a solid choice for those looking for a convenient, versatile cooking appliance that doesn’t cost the earth. As a general rule, keep away from ingredients that are more delicate in consistency and smaller in size.

Specification

The Keep Warm feature allows you to turn off the slow-cook features, ensuring that your dishes will remain warm and safe and not overcook. Unfortunately, the warming feature is not available on most traditional slow cookers or your stove. If you are looking to make adjustments so you can tailor your recipes and cooking times, opt for multi cookers that let you make such manual changes to pre-set programmes.
