Which 6.5 litre slow cooker?

lisa701

I'm looking into buying a larger slow cooker, what brand's are best?

I saw a cookworks in Argos for £19.99 but its out of stock for home delivery and there isnt a store within a 50 mile radius that has one in stock.

Other options are a Breville or Morphy Richards for around the £29.99 mark. Had a Morphy Richards in the past but the enamel on the bowl was pitted and started to crack within a few weeks of use so I returned it to the store for a refund. Not sure whether to chance another one or not.

Any thoughts?

They're all made in the same factories in China I have a very cheap Argos one but Tesco sell a similar, as do Asda etc. They all seem to vary the price periodically.

Thanks for your reply. Doesnt surprise me they are all made in the same factory. Just wish that Argos had one in stock nearby or for delivery as I'd be more than happy with theirs. Just had to keep on checking.

Got the same one and thought it was a good deal. It basically is an element with a pot on top of it. Can't imagine there will be much difference between them all.
