The advantages of a slow cooker in the modern household is akin to God-send for any busy mum. The ability to chuck a host of ingredients in to a pot in the morning and have a warm ready meal by evening is not only a great time-saver but also a great way to focus on the more important things in life.

The Original and Best Slow Cooker

Slow cookers are now available in many shapes sizes and forms. The original slow cooker, however, the Crock-Pot has maintained is ‘one of a kind’ status, both in look and in functionality. Here we take a look at the Crock-Pot Saute range options and what makes them so special.

The thing about slow cookers is that generally most recipes call for the meat to be browned because being put in to the slow cooker. Keeping this in mind, with most standard slow cookers, this means that the browning of the meat needs to be done in a pan before being transferred in to the slow-cooker.

With the Crock-pot Saute though, as the stoneware pot can be put on the hob, in the oven and even the microwave – it means that it can go straight from browning meat to being put directly on to the heating part of the crock-pot. The saute bowl works just as well on the hob or oven letting you safely brown the meat prior to slow cooking for that added flavour and to make it more succulent.

All three options listed below feature 3 settings low, high and a keep warm function. The main difference between the options below is it’s size, depending on how many people you normally cook for and the availability of a programmable timer.

The crock-pot saute is generally slightly more expensive than the typical slow cooker, however, it offers a convenience that has not yet been matched. So if you are planning on using a slow cooker on a daily, or a frequent basis, the crock-pot sauce, may be worth the investment for convenience it offers.
