Drew&Cole CleverChef 14-in-1 Multi Cooker - Stew, Roast, Slow Cooker, Steam, Bake, Bread Maker, Rice, Soup Maker & More - Large Capacity Family Batch Cooking - Cooks 5 Portions

I enjoy using this clever chef, it is so easy to use and meat is tender once cooked. It's amazing what amount of cooking such a small machine can do. Highly recommend it

I bought this as I have a small flat and wanted a product that could act as a multi cooker. This product is perfect for cooking rice and always leaves it cooked well. It also has a good steamer, slow cook and stewing function. I find it really useful to make the filling for cottage pie or lasagne or a Bolognese sauce as it acts as a slow cooker in a shorter period of time so the flavours have enough time to really enhance. In terms of cleaning it is not too hard however there are several parts that need to be washed. the removable pot makes this much easier though. Unfortunately however I am finding myself missing my old fashion slow cooker as it has a maximum running time of four hours and then it switches to keep warm. This means that I cant set a meal in the morning and leave it cooking all day ready for when I get home from work which is very frustrating. Sometimes I find to get the real long time slow cooked flavour and texture I need to keep resetting the four hour cooking time, but this only works if i am actually home to do so. Overall however, it is a fantastic find for the price and works well in a small flat. It is a very versatile product and perfect for someone on a limited budget in a small property.

Bought as an alternative to the main oven. it has multiple capabilities and been using for almost a week trying different options. Gr8 product and so easy to use, instructions are straight forward and easy to follow. Definitely recommend. Be very careful if you situate under a wall cupboard as it started to de-laminate our high gloss door on one unit. Luckily we noticed and think we can save it otherwise I will need to spend £100 for a new door to be made as they were custom. We now use on a work surface without anything above.

Bought to replace an old one my mum gave me. I love it. Perfect for stews as you can fry the meat in the bowl first. I use the rice function lots as it’s always perfect how I like it. The yoghurt function is very successful. Only 100g plain yoghurt and a carton of uht milk makes a huge batch of yoghurt in 8 hours and it’s very good. I have proved dough in it too. Very versatile.

There is absolutely nothing to dislike about this amazing gadget, I have cooked roasters, roast lamb and even gravy in this multi cooker, I've cooked whole chicken, chicken portions, spag bol and even baked a chocolate cake, I'm yet to make bread but I have all the ingredients to give it a go, this has saved me a few quid on not turning on the gas oven for just the 2 of us, this Drew&Cole cleverChef is in all honesty the best purchase I've made all year, I have used it everyday since purchasing it, it's easy to use and it's so easy to clean, I absolutely love it, I will say the recipe book, the measuring cup and rice spoon were missing but I emailed the company direct, their email support is clearly written in one of the booklets, I emailed them Friday evening and woke up to a reply, the missing items arrived on the Monday, not only an excellent but of kit but excellent customer service too! Fantastic

I have been considering buying a slow cooker for quite a while, and never got round to it. Then, I came across this more modern idea of a multi-function cooker that can cook various things with pre-programmed settings (although with most of the programmes you can adjust the temperature and/or the time). I have had the CleverChef for around a month now. The first thing I would say is that it looks smart and shiny - I got the black one - and the controls are all 'touch' controls (not buttons) that mean cleaning is easy. The removable cooking pot is non-stick and also easy to clean. The heating element is a very hi-tech looking thing - a pancake-shaped spiral of shiny metal which presumably heats very evenly across the bottom surface of the pot. The lid closes with a nice action and has a rubbery seal, with a vent in the top of the lid to let out any steam. The first thing I tried was basmati rice. You simply put the water & rice in the pot and choose the rice setting from the menu and press start. I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about how good the rice would be - I like it fairly dry and fluffy. Anyway, after a while it did its thing, came up to temperature, some steam came out of the top and, when it was ready the machine went into 'keep warm' mode, The rice was perfect. Next up, we made a sausage casserole. This had a couple of steps to the cooking - first off, using the 'saute' mode to brown the sausages and onions, and then the 'stew' mode to simmer it. Again, it was simple to use and the end result was delicious. Finally, I decided to try something that you wouldn't be able to do in a slow cooker - a cake! The cooker can act as a mini-oven (although not a high-temperature one). The recipe book that comes with the machine has recipes for a carrot cake and fruit cake, but I decided just to try a standard Victoria sponge (6oz each flour, butter & sugar, 3 eggs). I wasn't sure how much time to give it, so I set it to 50 minutes, which turned out to be a bit long - the bottom was slightly overdone, but the cake was really good! The interesting thing is, because the lid keeps the moisture in, the cake stays moist while it cooks. I would even say that it was better than I usually make in my fan oven. I haven't got round to it yet, but I intend to try the recipe for pulled pork (possibly the most delicious food ever!). Overall, I think this is a great addition to our kitchen: it works really well, the instruction manual was easy to follow, and it is very simple to use.

Very good item. Replacement for one that gave up.

This multi-cooker is exceptional—it makes my life so much easier as a person with disabilities. I use it to steam baby potatoes, which I enjoy with oil, salt, and tinned sardines. I also used it to make a small loaf of bread with mixed nuts and raisins. I didn’t bake a large one, just a bit, since I can only mix self-raising flour in a cup a little at a time. It turned out really well. I also plan to make a pea stew using dried carrot and onion flakes along with soya chunks. I haven't made it yet, but judging by everything I’ve cooked so far, I think the cooker will handle it easily. I’ve also made soup using Waitrose vegetables, spaghetti, and coconut milk—just ingredients I had in my small fridge—and it was delicious. I wish I had gotten this sooner. I know it's a costly item, especially for someone living with disabilities, but it helps cut down on food expenses. Potatoes, barley, and peas are all affordable staples. Fresh vegetables can be expensive, but dried flakes last longer and stretch across more meals. Overall, using this multi-cooker gives me a sense of wellbeing. It allows me to prepare healthy meals with cheaper ingredients, which makes me feel good about my diet. It’s hard to get five portions of fruit and vegetables a day when fresh produce is costly, but with this cooker, it’s possible—thanks to the affordability of dried ingredients. I still rely on measuring cups, and I can't clean the cooker until it’s emptied. So I cook once in the morning, keep the food warm, and serve myself throughout the day. Once it’s empty and light enough to lift, I give it a rinse. I also use a small towel to wipe the lid after each use to take care of it properly. I’m grateful to Amazon—both for the dried food I get from there and for offering this product. It has truly made my life better.

The multicooker was delivered without a cord with a plug. How do I used it? There is additional tape on the box, it is clear that the box was checked/opened.
