Drew&Cole CleverChef 14-in-1 Intelligent Digital Multi Cooker, Aluminium, 860 W, 5 Litre, Charcoal

Product Information

There’s also a very large capacity on offer here. The main cooking pot itself offers no less than 6 litres of capacity, while the Cook & Crisp basket that’s also included boasts a capacity of 3.6 litres.

This is a key area to keep in mind if you’re looking for a multi cooker to make life simple. As with slow cookers, most multi cookers include some kind of delay timer. The device wipes clean with a damp cloth, and it will not hold onto odours from your previous dishes. As a result, you’ll start with a blank slate with which to cook your next dish.

Our verdict

The CleverChef has 14 different functions – steam, stew, soup, roast, poach, bread rise, bake, fish sauté, rice, pasta, slow cook high or low and make yoghurt – so there's plenty of variety, and the intuitive interface ensures that preparing dishes is a hassle-free experience for busy families. While it took a bit of time to make our way through the online instruction videos, once we got the hang of it, we found this multi-cooker user-friendly and intuitive to operate. The Wi-Fi connectivity was a nice bonus too, making it one of the best Instant Pots you can snap up today. This latter function is important for keeping food warm so you can enjoy a hot dinner upon your return home. If you are hosting a dinner party, it’s also a great way to keep courses warm before you serve them. Temperature Settings and Pressure Cooking

There is also the added benefit of a slow cooker function, that makes it a good option for those looking to leave the device to do its thing while they head for a busy day at the office. Endless Possibilities: DIY function lets you easily adapt almost any recipe for CleverChef, by setting the time and temperature manually.However, it really depends on how long you’re using it for and the model you’ve selected. To find out an estimate of how much your multi-cooker will cost to use, you can use the Sust-it energy calculator - you just need to input the wattage of the machine and the time you'll be using it for, but bear in mind this can vary depending on the setting you're using.
