CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS

The Clever Chef Pro Multicooker is programmed to cook almost anything at just the touch of a button. Enjoy mouth-watering food, from yogurt to lamb chops, without all the hassle. However, the more proficient home cooks will of course want some flexibility. The best multicookers out there will allow for this. Aside from cost, the other main downside is the size. It's a bulky machine that takes up lots of space, but if you have the ability to store it, it would make a great addition to your kitchen. The most user-friendly multi cookers will allow you to make simple adjustments to temperature, with the selection of this setting determining the overall cooking time. If you are looking to make adjustments so you can tailor your recipes and cooking times, opt for multi cookers that let you make such manual changes to pre-set programmes.

In fact, you will find no less than 17 individual pre-set programmes to choose from, including Slow Cooking, Steaming, Stewing, Sauteing, Bread Rise, Bake, Rice, Soup, Keep Warm and Yoghurt settings.
