Consumer technology writer Gareth Butterfield takes a close look at the Russell Hobbs Good-to-Go 6.5L Electric Multicooker to see what all the fuss is about

Slow cookers have become something of a kitchen staple over the years, with people using them to cook up entire family meals while they get on with their day, with the food ready in time for them to eat whenever they get in.

They're a remarkably cheap, economical, compact, and easy way to provide family meals - just pop the ingredients in, turn it on, head out to work and come back to a house smelling gorgeous and a hot meal ready to serve.

These can take the form of pressure cookers, air fryers, even halogen ovens - but slow cookers with more than one function seem to be the latest big thing.

Take this Russell Hobbs Good-to-Go multi cooker, for example. According to Amazon it's one of their best-selling products right now, and that's probably because it's nearly half price for as long as stocks last.

Down from £89.99 to £49.99, it's a very compact bit of kit, resembling a traditional slow cooker, but with a digital panel on the base, and a detachable cooking pot that can be popped in the dishwasher.

With 750 watts it's every bit as powerful as a typical slow cooker, but it also has other functions that can come in handy for preparing meals from start to finish.

Its eight functions include searing, steaming, boiling and roasting. This means you can not only slow cook a stew, for example, but you could brown the meat and onions off before you start.

Steaming vegetables will be a doddle, and its "keep warm" function means you can get a meal ready, then sit back and enjoy it whenever you have time to eat.

"Honestly, it's so good! I'm a bit embarrassed that I am raving about a kitchen item, but I'm willing to be embarrassed!

"It's so light & easy to use & cleaning is a doddle. I highly recommend it!"

Other customers say the metal connectors that the base hooks up to make it tricky to hand wash, but generally the reviews are very positive, with nearly 1,300 buyers giving it a 4.5-star rating.
