Product Information

Independent heat controls- Each 1.5L pot has a heating element control for cooking at different temperatures. The controls tend to be similar on most slow cookers with a ‘low’ setting for longer, slower cooking throughout the day and a ‘high’ setting for faster cooking with similar slow-cooked results. With two individually controlled compartments, the Tower 2–Pot Slow Cooker prides itself on its versatility and generous food storage space. With a combined 5.2L capacity, divided evenly between the two ceramic bowls, this impressive slow cooker is perfect for preparing two separate meals at once – or a single meal with mulitple parts, for example, curry and rice.

Learn how to use a slow cooker, what to cook in it and so much more with this definitive guide to everything slow cookers.

This function can be found on the majority of slow cookers, helping to retain the temperature of your food without cooking it further – handy when you’re struggling to round up the family! The first thing you need to consider with any slow cooker is its capacity – each will list its bowl size in litres. Bear in mind that this won’t translate to the same amount of food, as you shouldn’t fill slow cookers to the brim. This gap allows your food to bubble and simmer properly. The usable cooking space will be around three-quarters of its bowl size, for example, a five-litre cooker can accommodate around four litres of food. Rice and pasta dishes work best cooked on high for the shortest time possible. Always use easy-cook rice, rinsed well first – the more starch you rinse from the rice, the better the finished result. A slow cooker is an electric appliance that simmers food at a low temperature over a long period of time. Because of this low-and-slow method, slow cookers are great for breaking down and tenderizing large pieces of meat like pot roasts or beef stews. But that’s not all they can do. Slow cookers are also a home cook’s go-to choice for soups and ribs, plus dips, drinks and bread. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.

Create delicious, healthy meals for your whole family without slaving over a hot stove with the 3-Pot Slow Cooker and Buffet Server from Tower. Using a slow cooker is fairly simple. Just plug in your slow cooker, add your chosen recipe’s ingredients, set the cooker to low or high, depending on the recipe’s instructions, add the lid and let it cook. Once your dish is done cooking, you can either switch the slow cooker off to turn off the heating element, or warm if you’re not ready to enjoy it yet. That’s it! Some slow cookers will automatically shift to this mode after a programme has ended, while others require switching manually. Heat retention: how the cooker holds heat for safety on the worktop and whether the food catches or burnsBasic slow cookers won’t get hot enough to sauté meat or vegetables, so you’ll need to do this in a pan before transferring the contents to the bowl. However, more expensive models offer a different one-pot solution. This can either be bowls that you use on your hob or in your oven in place of a pan (some will even be induction compatible). They will need to be moved to the slow cooker base. Machines with a sauté function for high-heat browning can simply be switched to slow cooking. Save time - Prep your meals the night before then turn your slow cooker on low all day and come home to a delicious meal Does your slow cooker have good heat distribution? Some can suffer from hot spots that cause drying out in corners or at the base. Uneven heat is something that’s more likely to occur in larger bowls. When we tested its slow cooking mode we found that it's almost too good at retaining moisture. Recipes that came out more saucy in some slow cookers were a little less rich because it's also designed to be an airtight pressure cooker. That can be remedied though by adding less liquid or taking into account the liquid that will come out of meat and veggies when you add them. Spoon rests- Each ceramic dish has a spoon notch for super easy serving, when closing the lid to keep your food warm youwon't need to remove the spoon from it's pot.
