Product Description

Product Description

It can be hard to find the time to prepare a delicious, home-cooked meal but it's easily done with a slow cooker. They're so versatile, delivering all kinds of mouth-watering dishes from casseroles to curries, soups to stews and give you the option to prepare a meal in the morning, head out for the day, and return to it in the evening when its ready to serve. With a slow cooker it's less likely you'll overcook your food making it perfect for amateur cooks and seasoned chefs alike. While it benefits those cooking on a budget as the slow and even cooking tenderises the cheapest cuts of meat, allowing the flavours to develop more fully. And with just the one piece of kitchen equipment providing a whole meal, they're economical on kitchen space and washing up afterwards.

The Hinari SC395SS is made from stainless steel making it a smart addition to your kitchen and with a capacity of 3.5 litres (l) is great for singles, couples or smaller appetites. It has three cooking functions helping you choose the best cooking method for your needs. Select the high function to cook your food within about four hours or the low setting for eight hours between preparation and serving. Alternatively, opt for the warm setting to maintain a steady heat. Keep an eye on your food's progress with the tempered glass lid and serve it at the table without losing the heat thanks to the removable ceramic bowl making it a simple and easy journey from cooker to plate. The clean-up afterwards is easy with both the glass lid and the ceramic bowl dishwasher safe and the slow cooker comes with a booklet of easy-to-follow recipes providing a good starting place for kitchen novices and as inspiration for more experienced cooks.

  • 1 x Hinari slow cooker

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Value 29 Nov 2010
    By K. Wright VINE™ VOICE
    Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
    Having never used a slow cooker before I had hoped the Hinari Lifestyle would be simple to use and come with some ideas of what to use it for. This model did both. First of all the main unit is surprisingly light and didn't take up too much room on the worktop. The removable ceramic pot which fits inside the cooker is of a good quality and it is dishwasher safe, along with the glass lid (ideal to see your dinner simmering away).

    I chose to attempt the Lamb Casserole with Red Wine and Rosemary first of all from the accompanying recipe booklet. Due to the ingredients I had available I made a few alterations (added a parsnip, omitted the flour, used dried herbs rather than the bouquet garni.) The meal was quick to prepare with a total time of around 10 minutes in the saucepan to soften the vegetables and brown the meat before transferring to the slow cooker for 6 hours. The meal was absolutely delicious and the meat was so tender even with a cheap cut. With low and high settings it is easy to set your meal for the time required whether getting it ready before work or around lunchtime. The warming setting is also ideal if you are delayed in eating.

    I am now going to try the Ratatouille and Sausage Casserole recipes. Whist there isn't a huge range of recipes in the booklet I think most kinds of meat and vegetables can be put into a casserole as long as you include at least 1 pint of liquid. Perfect for tasty, warm, home cooked food on cold winters evenings.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Neat slow cooker 8 Jan 2010
    By Dodo Blod
    This was a gift for my son in college. It's nice & neat and easy to use. For its first-time-out it was used to cook a tried & tested recipe, irish stew, which was great.

    My own slow-cooker is a large Tower slow cooker. The main difference I found is when mine is on its "low" setting it's barely bubbling at all and I feel that if I inadvertently left it 6 hours too long, the food would be absolutely fine. The Hinari SC395SS on the other hand bubbled away merrily on the "low" setting, which made me wonder whether the food would taste really overdone if I left it a bit longer than intended to.

    So far, though, it appears just the ticket. It doesn't take up much worktop space and it's easy to use.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Stew-pidly easy to use! 25 Nov 2010
    By @GeekZilla9000 TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
    Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
    This slow cooker is a smallish model but still large enough to make a casserole for a small family, or provide a couple of generous portions for a couple! This is a cylindrical `tower' style slow cooker rather than oval, so roasting a chicken in here isn't easy but it's still possible. I use a slow cooker quite often and I'm impressed with this model. It's surprisingly small, but it's not bulky - so the ceramic bowl makes up most of the overall size. The handles on the side make it very easy to pick up and move in and out of the cupboard.

    Like most over slow cookers it is incredibly easy to use, I tend to cook things on `low' for about 8 hours. That means that on particularly cold days I can go out for a few hours and come back to a beautiful meal. Cleaning is also easy, as the contents are invariably wet - a brief scrub with washing up liquid and a rinse is all that is required!

    In a nutshell: I can't fault this, it performs the job brilliantly and is the perfect size for a couple or small family.
