Drew&Cole CleverChef Intelligent Digital Multicooker 5L - 860W - Chrome - Touch Control - Energy Efficient - 14-in-1 Cooker - Delay Timer & Keep Warm Function - Simple & Effective Cooking

We've been using the Drew&Cole CleverChef Multi Cooker for a while now (never heard about this brand before), and it has completely transformed our cooking experience. This multi-cooker is a true game-changer in the kitchen, and we couldn't be happier with it.Big Volume:With its 5-litre capacity, this multi-cooker is perfect for cooking large meals. Whether you're preparing a family dinner or meal prepping for the week, the CleverChef can handle it all with ease.High Performance:The 860W power ensures that the CleverChef cooks food quickly and efficiently. From slow-cooked stews to perfectly steamed vegetables, it delivers high-quality results every time. The 14-in-1 functionality means it can handle virtually any cooking task you throw at it.Easy to Clean:Cleaning up after cooking is a breeze. The non-stick aluminum pot is easy to wipe down, and all removable parts are dishwasher safe. This makes the device incredibly convenient for everyday use.Versatility:This multi-cooker truly lives up to its name by cooking absolutely everything. We've used it to make soups, stews, rice, yogurt, and even cakes. The variety of cooking modes is impressive and has expanded our culinary repertoire significantly.Useful Timer:The built-in timer is a very handy feature, allowing you to set it and forget it. The only minor downside is that the minimum timer setting is 1 hour, which might not be ideal for shorter cooking tasks. However, this is a small trade-off considering all the other benefits.Loved by the Whole Family:My wife and I were so impressed with the multi-cooker that we bought a second one after some time. We now have one for our main meals and another for sides or desserts. It's become an indispensable part of our kitchen routine.Great Value:For the performance and versatility it offers, it is a fantastic option at a fair price. We can't imagine our kitchen without it, and it's made cooking at home more enjoyable and efficient.Nice Design:On top of its functionality, the CleverChef also boasts a sleek chrome design that looks great on our kitchen counter. It’s a stylish addition to any kitchen decor.Overall, we highly recommend this Multi Cooker. Its large volume, high performance, ease of cleaning, and versatility make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to simplify and enhance their cooking experience. If you’re in the market for a multi-cooker, this one is definitely worth considering.

This amazing appliance has become an essential part of our kitchen tool kit. Both my partner and I have physical disabilities so standing at the main cooker for any length of time can be problematic for both of us. However, this and a mini-oven/air fryer we purchased recently have literally changed our lives for the better. We have the two appliances set up on a desk together with a single hob, thus allowing us to sit whilst using them. An added bonus for my partner is that I can now contribute by cooking meals too, which I enjoy immensely.The only slight gripe I have with this unit is that the maximum heat on the sauté setting is only 160c. It would be far more useful if it were 180c in my opinion. It is not a deal breaker, just be sure to preheat the oil/fat before adding the main ingredients.Cleaning the unit is a doddle as it all comes apart easily, and don't forget to remove the drip tray to the rear of the unit, not that I have ever done this, of course... [cough]In conclusion, this is a versatile and capable appliance that also happens to be amazing value for money, unlike those over-rated ninjitsu themed devices. I bought one of those, it arrived broken, so I sent it back and replaced it with the CleverChef for a quarter of the price. Two years later and I haven't looked back...

When my 1st one was damaged I did shop around for a replacement. But when I checked out other brands I realised that none of the fancy, usually more expensive ones were either super complicated or too many programmes.This is very versatile. Simple to use. If you use the programmes they give reliable results or you can DIY a cooking mode.My best buy in a long time.

Have been having this multi functions cooker for a month. Love the multi functions settings as i am not good with timing as i am busy with other things. 4 stars for the easy way to use most functions and the DIY function.Few things to know:-brown/sauté function, okish, don't put too much, it won't get brown in 15mns.-I tried to roast few pieces of chicken, not great for roasting pieces of meat (they covered the bottom so heat) But i had an enjoyable chicken with its lovely jus. ItDon't forget it heats up from under only so same for baking, one side gets brown, you would need to take your bread or cake out and turn it around to have both side brown.-Rice function is the disappointing option unfortunately. It apparently works by weighting your rice and cooks accordingly. Each rice requires different quantity of water and time to cook. So If you buy this cooker for a particular type of rice, don't count on the rice option. My Thai/jasmine rice comes out a touch dryer (this is a matter of taste, some might prefer) but it takes much longer to cook (about 45-50mns for 4 portions of rice) compare with my previous Tefal 8 in 1, quick rice option (20mns cooking and you get a beautiful fluffy, fragranced and slightly sticky jasmine rice, that was for up to 4 portions, i believe it would perform the same for 6 at least). Today my rice even got a bit overcooked under.My advice, if you are a rice fan, you might be very disappointed with this cooker.Tefal 8 in 1 is much much better for thai rice and also have long rice cooking and brown rice functions.Update: the device still works, 3 years now.For my thai rice, for up to 2 glasses of rice (25cl glass) + water (roughly same quantity but sometimes it requires a touch more as rice is dryer, depending of year), i set up DIY, start at 110 degrees for 10mns and then 95 degrees for 15mns (do it straight after it finished cooking at 110, or the cooker goes on warm up setting). That should produce a nice rice.I have been making soup and stews and it works great for them.Careful not to put sharp solid elements in there, like sharp edge bones, as them might scratch the pot. Pot is non stick but NOT scratch resistant.
