THE HARD WORKER<br />

nine-in-one cooking device. Along with being an<br />

excellent slow cooker, the Nutricook Smart Pot by<br />

Nutribullet also has dedicated functions to cook rice,<br />

eggs and soup, as well as to make yoghurt, sauté<br />

BEFORE YOU BUY...<br />

Useful and economical, the humble slow cooker makes it a cinch to prepare healthy meals from scratch. Simply load<br />

up your ingredients, choose your setting and leave the clever device to do it all for you. Before you buy, consider how<br />

many mouths you need to feed and if your favourite meals are a good fit for your prospective model’s shape and size.<br />

Batch cookers and families seeking hearty meals, such as whole cooked chicken, should look for larger, oval-shaped<br />

designs, for instance. If you won’t be there to switch it on and off, opt for one with a digital timer that can be preprogrammed.<br />

Lastly, if you’re not a fan of washing up, make sure the lid and cooking pot is dishwasher safe.<br />
