4.0 out of 5 stars
fantastic bit of kitchen kit, 14 Nov 2008
This review is from: Tefal 4 in 1, RK701115 Slow Cooker, Steamer, Rice Cooker, Porridge Maker, Brushed Chrome (Kitchen & Home)
Am really pleased with my purchase of this item. I use it most days - make porridge in the morning, cook grains like quinoa and millet to make salads for my packed lunch, steam veggies and the occasional ready meal in the steamer basket and have made some really lovely winter stews on the slow cook function. I've never managed to cook quinoa in a pan, but the rice cooker does it to perfection. Am really looking forward to experimenting further with it, and will try to make polenta using the porridge function tomorrow. if it was a bit cheaper, I'd buy another one (so that I can cook my stew and my grains/veggies at the same time). The downsides are small, but the non-stick surface of the pot is VERY delicate, mine has a scratch already and if the pot goes then I won't think its such a good buy. Also the steamer basket is very shallow, so it is not such a good buy if the steaming aspect is very important to you. However - these are small complaints, and I would recommend one for every kitchen. Oh, and it's very easy and quick to clean (non-stick surface and all that!!).

5.0 out of 5 stars
A little expensive - but excellent for all purposes......., 3 Oct 2007
This review is from: Tefal 4 in 1, RK701115 Slow Cooker, Steamer, Rice Cooker, Porridge Maker, Brushed Chrome (Kitchen & Home)
It was for cooking rice that I primarily chose this. It hasn't let me down (so far) but most importantly, providing you use a rice cooker as they are supposed to, it certainly never sticks with this one. Interestingly, the porridge comes out delicious - but somehow, I do miss using the traditional saucepan!! Rice pudding the same - really tasty and easily made 'stodgy' or 'runny', but - yes I do miss the traditional way!!
But as you can see I've given it 5 stars because that's is truly what it deserves. Trust me, or make your own mind up - but I have no problems in recommending this product. It really is excellent - even if a it's maybe little expensive. In the end though, I think quality and reliablity counts for more.....

Keep it on the top..You will use it often., 21 July 2008
This review is from: Tefal 4 in 1, RK701115 Slow Cooker, Steamer, Rice Cooker, Porridge Maker, Brushed Chrome (Kitchen & Home)
All too often we buy yet another gadget to add to our kitchen and then find that it disappears out of sight. This is one that I use contantly. Stew type dishes come to mind straight away because the food ends up being so tender and the taste is great because the cooking is contained in the pot. You can therefore, use the cheaper cuts of meat with great success
It is absolutely great for when you have guests. I prepare food in the slow cooker before they come and then I can then spend time enjoying the visit. Recently, we all went on a picnic and returned home to a hot supper stew with crusty bread. It was so appreciated. Another event was a party where I was nominated for producing a curry dish. I took the slo-cooker with me and it finished the cooking whilst we were all having fun.
One of the reasons I chose this model was because of the clip down lid. (My old crockpot tipped all it's contents into the boot of my car)It is not just for stew type dishes though. You can produce a whole chicken or joint of meat in it very successfully and puddings too!. There are hundreds of recipes out there on the internet under the heading of crockpot or slo-cooker so you will never be stuck for ideas. I do use the porridge maker too. In 9 minutes you have your porridge made. Just throw the ingredients in the pot press the button and hey presto!!(just time to take a shower)
Like the other owners, I have found the rice cooker great. I often make a bigger batch and freeze what I don't use on the day.
I have no hesitation in saying that this is worthy of the 5 stars that I have awarded it.
