DaewooSDA1788 6.5L Slow Cooker | Stainless Steel | 3 Heat Settings | Dishwasher Safe Pot & Lid | Power Indicator | Useful Carry Handles | Raised Feet | Manual Temperature Control | 300W, Grey

We are pleased with this slow cooker. The operation is simple. I have included photos to show the size of the item by comparison with other objects like a kettle and bowl. We considered a larger slow cooker, but decided it would take up a lot of room in use or during storage. The cooker base is not heavy, but the inner ceramic is, and put together, with the lid, you don't want to be lifting it any more than necessary.On my scales this weighs nearly three quarters of a stone or 5 kilos. When empty.The family-sized cookers seemed too large for us, and as it turns out, this version at 3.5 litre - you do not fill to near the top - holds plenty of food for a casserole for four; five or six with added potatoes.We have cooked up chicken portions, turkey legs and pork, and the meat always falls away from the bone. Sausage casserole is also great, but in reducing cooking time for soft meat, you might not get the diced veg cooked to soft, so reduce the size of root veg. A casserole packet mix works well for thickening. Very little liquid is lost, so the kitchen does not get steamy. There are plenty of recipes on line, but no booklet is supplied.Manufacturer says not to stand the inner dish in water, although it's fine to have water inside. Also, of course, the outer pot is an electrical item, so wipe it, don't wash it, and with switch turned off or unplugged.

The product name, the summary bullet points *and* the product description all mention that this is dishwasher safe. The box has "dishwasher safe" on it more than once."We built this slow cooker with convenience in mind - the pot and lid of this stainless steel slow cooker are both dishwasher safe"The product manual (which you can only read after buying and receiving the slow cooker), however, says this:"The Ceramic Bowl and Glass Lid are NOT dishwasher safe and should be cleaned by hand in warm soapy water""DO NOT clean ANY part of the slow cooker in a Dishwasher."This is very irritating for someone who chose this product specifically because it is supposedly dishwasher safe. Is it "dishwasher safe" or isn't it?

We bought this for my mother and father in law to make their life a bit easier. They have only used it a couple of times so far but amazed at how simple it is to use and easy. It is a good size and they have been able to over cook making them a couple of days meals at a time. We continue to surprise them with the amount of easy recipes which can be cooked in the slow cooker! Good value for money, would recommend.

Boycotting gas usage, so I needed something to make everyday meals easily.This is amazing. Easy to use, just put your food in, leave it and go do something else for a couple of hours, come back and its cooked.Easy to clean.Oh, and it's not as small as it looks in the picture.For me, this has become an essential part of my kitchen.

I used this warmer for Christmas 2021. I used it to keep vegetables, roast potatoes warm. If you want your roast potatoes to remain crunchy do not put the lid on. Heats up quickly I used the hot setting for first 5 minutes then turned setting down to low. Easy to use wash and pack away. Also I placed it on a thick chopping board just in case of heat exposure my kitchen counter surface. There was no need to worry because the food warmer did not over heat or cause any damage to the chopping board it was placed on. I would highly recommend.
