    Sorry - I haven't got one either - but it looks great! Very tempted - been considering a pressure cooker for ages for quicker cooking of pulses, but I have been known to break / damage things and myself in the kitchen so high pressured steam was a worry. Also spend the winter contemplating a slow cooker - could this be for me?

    This was a special at Aldi on 10 july, so not sure how this works, but you might still find it https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thursday-10th-july/product-detail/ps/p/electric-multi-cooker-1/

    I have a Redmond 110 multi cooker, it has about 55 modes plus pressure cooking function. It really helps to save time, especially for those one with the big family. Highly recommended.

    Yep, I've had an instant pot for two months now and it's brilliant. I don't have an oven or a hob, so everything that I cook gets cooked in this.

    I bought it on the strength of the amazon reviews, and my heart sank when I saw what looked like an identical appliance in Aldi that was on for about £30. But then I looked at the reviews for that on Facebook and they were pretty dire, so I was reassured.
