Sunbeam SecretChef® Slow Cooker 5.5L HP5520

I’ve had a slowcooker for about 25 years and it’s been perfect except I smashed the lid and couldn’t find the right fit replacement lid so I purchased this one - it’s a good basic slowcooker that does exactly what it said it will and priced accordingly. Folders were very easy to deal with and I’d use them again.

Slow cooking requires learning a few new tricks so am still experimenting. After some initial mistakes some real successes. The product itself is excellent and easy to clean.

This an excellent appliance for doing what it says on the label. Meats and meals are cooked to perfection and retain all the taste and goodness. The crockpot is an ideal size for a small family and it’s good to be able to remove the power cord thus enabling the complete slow cooker to be placed on a heat proof mat on the table. The only deficiency is there’s no timer to switch from hot to warm so one needs to be prepared to do this manually. This can a pain if you’re not going to home when it finishes cooking. It’s easy to clean and a reasonable cost so if you can always be there to switch it off then I’d recommend it wholeheartedly.
