Where should we buy a slow cooker and which model is best?

rosieprimrose

My slow cooker of 24 years is playing up and I want to replace it.

Anyone have recommendations?

Obviously I haven't looked at them for years and would appreciate any thoughts!

Think we want a family size as I like to cook big portions and then freeze leftovers.

Thank you.

I find auto cook useful

Auto cook
This setting starts cooking on high and after an hour continues to cook on low. Although not all models have this function, many believe the best results are achieved using this particular setting

I have a 'Crockpot' one which was £20 down from £40 in Tesco a few months ago. Keep an eye out for offers.
