Thanks to quagmire HUKD -

6 litre Morphy Richards partition slow cooker down to £23.99 with code. This is a really good deal for a slow cooker I have wanted for years, brilliant idea.

There was a 6l slow cooker deal around September/October time over on HUKD for about £18; they sold out so I opted for this model you've posted, at £20.39 (plus a little quidco back). I thought the partition feature would be useful to be able to cook two different meals together, but to be honest it's a bit of a pain in the bum. You don't always want two different casseroles but to make a large amount you have to prepare and pour in to each side to distribute the casserole ingredients fairly. Also, food gets caught and burns on around the sharp partition corners in the middle. Heavy when it comes to washing it up as well...

It works otherwise , but I'd not buy one like this again.

Currys have a 6.5l non-partitioned Morphy Richards for £24.99 (save £15), might even be the one that was on HUKD before. Might be codes lurking. Free delivery.

Surely you could acheive the same effect by putting the different ingredients in two different roasting bags in an ordinary slow cooker

I bought this as my daughter won't eat meat. I use one side for veg stew and one for meat stew and it's great. Really pleased with it.

I looked at this when I was working out what to buy and found several reviews saying that the partition didn't work particularly well and transfered juices/flavours when they tried to cook. As I needed to be able to cook meat and veggie dishes I gave it a miss and now have one large and one small cooker.

I have a "normal" single pot slow cooker, and cook 2 different meals by using 2 roasting bags, one meat for hubby and one veggie. Though the divided one would save some money in the long term, 10 bags are around £1.50. My cooker was £10, but the bags would soon add up to this price.

nice idea but it does negate those times when you want to put a whole chicken in or a joint for slow braising, which you can't do because of the partition.
