Best Multi Cookers in the UK

Offering automated cooking, a multicooker is a great helper for beginner cooks who want to hone their culinary skills. And if it’s an intelligent model like the one from Tefal, you’ll be able to toss off delicious treats from scrap, irrespective of your cooking experience.

Right off the bat, the model stands out for the Fuzzy Logic artificial intelligence technology that optimizes cooking performance. What does it mean you wonder? A built-in computerised micro-chip allows the unit to recognize ingredients and automatically adjust all cooking parameters to customise the cooker operation and achieve perfect cooking results. Hence, even if you are not sure about the cooking settings, leave it to the unit and you’ll get ideally cooked meals time and again.

In addition to this smart frill, the Tefal multicooker offers 10 preset cooking modes saving you the need to make any adjustments. You only need to select the programme and let the unit do the rest. You’ll have a choice of all essential cooking options to make your daily menus diverse and tasty. Thus, you can fry, steam, stew, and bake as well as flawlessly cook rice and oatmeal, make nutritious home yogurt without any additives, and even cook baby food. Besides, the appliance will function as a food warmer and reheater.

Intuitive digital controls make the cooker operation a breeze and you’ll get the hang of it straight away. Meanwhile, a 24-hour delayed start function will let you have your meal nice and warm just when you are ready to eat. It will come in handy for cooking a family-sized portion of porridge for breakfast or a bowl of veg stew for dinner. You can program the time in advance and have your treats cooked once you wake up or come back home in the evening.

Tired of monotonous daily meals, yet, drastically lack time to cook something new every day? If so, turn your eyes to the CleverChef multi cooker that will bring your home menu from drab to fab without much effort from your side.

First things first, the model comes complete with as many as 14 pre-programmed cooking modes to take the guesswork out of virtually any cooking task. You will be able to steam, fry, and saute veggies, roast and stew meats, make extraordinary soups and mouth-watering pastas, knock off creamy risottos, cook tender fish treats as well as bake a whole variety of scrumptious desserts from pies and cheesecakes to delicate mousses. On top of that, the CleverChef can double as a slow cooker and even a bread maker. With Slow cook low and Slow cook high options, you can cook mouth-watering meats and healthy dishes packed with rich tastes. Meanwhile, a Bread rise option will let you both quickly rise dough for flavourful pastries and bake homemade bread that will come out perfectly baked each time.

Yet, there is even more to come. While preset programmes are great for no-hassle everyday cooking and will enrich your menu with a whole bunch of simple tasty treats, the DIY function allows cooking more sophisticated dishes worth a restaurant menu. With this option, you can individually customise cooking temperatures and time for multi-stage recipes. And there will always be space for experimenting to create your own signature recipes.

As functional as it is, this multi cooker also stands out for a sleek design that will decorate your countertop and blend with any contemporary interior style. The all-black body looks very modern and is easy to maintain. Intuitive electronic controls will let you grasp the unit operation from the very first use, eliminating any trial and error.

When choosing home appliances, more and more often we seek multi-functionality. Not only does it help us to optimize kitchen space and cooking process but also it allows saving money and, what’s no less important, precious time and effort on buying several devices. Moreover, in their endeavours to satisfy the needs and demands of modern lifestyle, manufacturers usually equip their all-purpose appliances only with really helpful functions omitting some minor and less necessary options. Similarly, always striving for innovations to keep up with all current tendencies and provide its customers with the most efficient cooking solutions, Crock-Pot has created one of its most advanced slow cookers with unmatched functionality, ensuring a whole variety of cooking methods.

The CSC024 is a digital slow cooker that offers all basic features you’d expect from a top-quality model. Fitted with heating elements installed all around the pot for consistently even cooking, the unit has two basic temperature settings and an automated Keep-warm function like any other traditional crockpot. For quick and convenient cooker control, there is a digital display. Cool-touch handles contribute to safety and ease of unit handling while a glass lid will keep the heat inside during cooking and keep your dish warm for longer when serving right in a bowl.

Yet, what makes this appliance different from other crockpots is its aluminium bowl. Thanks to a premium non-stick coating, it features all the qualities of a traditionally ceramic crockpot bowl. However, unlike ceramic bowls, the aluminium one allows for going far beyond the slow cooking method and packs the appliance with 4 more pre-programmed cooking modes including roasting, steaming, sauteing, and baking. Besides, variable temperature and time controls will let you customise the cooking process to any recipe at hand. All that turns the Crock-Pot slow cooker into a fully functional multi-cooker.

Multicookers are hands down the most versatile cookers, covering the functionality of several kitchen appliances in a single unit. It saves you kitchen space and it definitely saves your budget. What’s more important, it saves your peace of mind since you can easily use different cooking techniques without the need to practice. However, it often happens that we mostly use several basic functions in a multicooker and don’t need any sophisticated add-ons. This is where the Sage multi cooker will come into play.

At a glance, this model is different from the habitual multicooker design. Packed in a stainless steel body and topped with a transparent glass lid, it rather reminds one of a mere stovetop pot or cooking pan. Yet, it is still an electric appliance that comes with a number of preset cooking programs. Instead of multiple cooking functions, though, it has only 6 cooking modes operated by humble mechanical controls. But despite all the simplicity, the unit still offers decent versatility. Thus, you’ll be able to sear ingredients locking those one-of-the-kind caramelised flavours in a final treat or saute foods to achieve the richest taste and finest texture. Two slow cooking options will let you cook delicious mouth-melting treats and get the most out of the foods you cook. Besides, the stainless steel steaming tray included in the set will even let you cook two dishes at once. Thus, while slow cooking pork ribs, on the top, you can steam some veggies for the garnish. Or you can use the steamer above the boiling water to steam tender and succulent fish.

With a power of 760 watts, the appliance heats up to the cooking temperature in seconds. An aluminium pot evenly distributes the heat for uniform cooking and features a non-stick coating for flawless cooking results without scorched or stuck foods. The pot is a cinch to clean under running water while the glass lid is even dishwasher safe.

The bowl capacity of 3.7 litres is not the highest out there, yet, it is enough for cooking a family-size meal and will pretty much fit the needs of an average family of 3 or 4.

Are you into innovative appliances and technological solutions? Even when it comes to cooking, right? Then the latest multi-cooker model from Aigostar will definitely catch your fancy. It combines a well thought-out design and extremely versatile functionality to deliver the best of what multi-cooker technologies have to offer.

With the Aigostar, you can toss off a complete 3 to 4-course meal in a single unit. From starters to main courses to desserts, it can cook virtually anything to meet the food preferences and tastes of all your family members while a 5-litre bowl is capacious enough for family-size treats.

The manufacturer has packed this model with as many as 16 pre-set programmes including frying, steaming, stewing, slow-cooking, meat and fish, cake and dessert, yoghurt, bread, and more. And you’ll be impressed by fairly short cooking times and amazingly delicious cooking results. Thanks to 900 watts of power under its hood, the appliance heats up in an instant and maintains consistently even heat throughout the cooking process. Thus, in less than 25 minutes, your lean beef will be cooked to a nice tenderness and chicken curry will come out soft and succulent. And a broth or veg soup will be ready in only about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, a Keep Warm function will keep all your dishes perfectly warm until you are ready to serve.

In addition to truly versatile functionality, the Aigostar is distinguished by a design thought out to the last detail. Not only does it look very modern and boast comprehensible operation with an LCD display and intuitive touch-screen controls but also it has some twists you won’t find in many other models. Apart from a habitual timer, delayed start option, and non-stick bowl coating, the cooker features a special lid construction that will let you cook with an open lid which is great for fries and pastas when you need to remove the excess moisture. Besides, the "Add ingredient" function is an irreplaceable option if you need to make some changes in the recipe while cooking.
