COOKING just got easier …

The Crock-pot Express Easy Release Multi Cooker (CPE210) is eight appliances in one! With a total of 13 one-touch programs, this clever cooker not only pressure cooks, but turns into a slow cooker, steamer, rice cooker, frying pan, yoghurt maker, saucepan and warmer. It cooks up to 70 per cent faster than conventional cooking, and has all your needs covered with its new simmer, boil and manual pressure functions. When pressure cooking and steaming, the status bar will illuminate so you can track the pressurisation and preheat progress before the cooking begins, while the timer allows you to delay the start of cooking your Crock-pot meal until you are ready. The new easy release steam dial keeps your hands away from the steam when releasing the hot pressure.

Crock-pot’s latest recipe book includes meal inspiration for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The removable inner non-stick cooking pot (5.7 litre capacity) is dishwasher safe, making clean-up easy. Other accessories include a handy stainless steel steaming rack and plastic serving spoon. RRP $169. To purchase or find out more visit, nationalproductreview.com
