Tower 5 Litre 8-in-1 Multi-Cooker – Slow Cooker, Saute, Steamer, Roast, Frys, Boils, Grills and Braise - Black

Here are my thoughts and recommendations, for both customers and manufacturer, after 10 days using the cooker every day.This thing is dangerous. The glass lid doesn't have a steam hole, therefore a HUGE amount of water vapor drips from the lid when you open it to check your food. There's water falling all over the place.... into the food itself, on your counters, and also on the electric parts (cord) if you don't pay enough attention.The cooker should come with TWO DIFFERENT LIDS. One with a steam hole (for boiling) and another one without a hole (for roasting).The cooker reaches the desired temperature in a short time, and cooks everything very well. BUT the temperature settings are all WRONG. You will need a lower temperature for roasting, and a higher temperature for boiling. If you trust the default settings, you'll burn your food 100% in less than 3 minutes. Remember to choose "boil" if you want to roast and "roast" if you want to boil. The manufacturer could just SWITCH the printings on the appliance!The multicooking concept is great in itself, this appliance needs some closer supervision so I'm nor returning it. I've learned how to use it the proper way. Don't leave the appliance unattended.

i have been without a cooker for over a year now and was looking at my options... Induction hob sounded good, but then I would need the space and saucepan set... This was my final choice as no saucepans needed, between the microwave and this gadget, I am back in the kitchen and enjoying "proper" food again. First thing cooked was a humble fried egg... It was lovely. Then for dinner chops and veggie rice, again couldn't fault it. Simple fish-fingers crisp and dry with no oil added, super - all things that the microwave just can't do! 5 litre sized squarish pan is great for getting the dinner cooked for 4, it could do with a timer option... But I can accommodate that! No complaints so far!!

The cooker wasn't as described in the accompanying booklet. It was supposed to have a cut out switch, it didn't. The book said it should have a pasta selection but there was none. The booklet also said to attach the stirrer which was also not present. It seems that the box and the booklet matched the description but not the cooker in the box. Very disappointed with the operation of the cooker as by the time the food was cooked the worktop was swimming in water from the steam that had condensed and run over the edge of the bowl. This could have been dangerous as we all know water and electricity does not mix

Bought for family use. But found it very Heavy & takes up a lot of worktop space.

I actually love it but I have an problem with the controls... the logic from Warm to Boil would have Slow Cook/Steam inbteween them but they are literally the wrong way around.... Warm/Boil/Slowcook-Steam on my machine say that but on Boil it Slow Cooks and on Slow Cook it Boils... I have no idea if the others are correct apart from Warm... How do you sort this out if this is a major problem... I have worked it out as i was here to watch my first slow cook which was boiling...

Very good packaging when it arrivedIt is basically a electric ring in the cooker itself, once and the preset temperature doesnt really match the function, if you slow-cook something, it will eventually got burned, I think its because the preset temperature is higher than it should be.it does the job for steaming, it make things easy to use, doest really like the fact that it doesnt have a timer and the material is to hot that burn things.

Ok with Saute/grill but not good as a slow cooker. Not safe to leave on overnight as it boils dry.

This unit seems to have a very strange thermostat system The thermostat keeps turning on and off before it has reached temperature you have no idea when at temperature have to use a thermometer . so disappointed it is the worst item of this sort i have purchased , Looks nice though
