Morphy Richards 48710

Plastic top handle snapped, then plastic knob that controls temp. snapped so that I couldn't turn it off without a tool or at the mains, then plastic front with LED cracked. Poor really. Rang customer services and was told I could buy all pieces as replacements for £8 apart from LED face, which I have but so far has taken a week and no sign of them turning up yet. Wouldn't buy this brand again due to this. On the plus side, if it doesn;t crack all over the place the size is very good.

This is my second slow cooker and is a vast improvement on the first, a Tower, which I had for about 20 years. Probably this is due to improved design. It is incredibly useful for cooking ham/bacon joints and makes a mean Christmas pud! Strangely the recipe book from my old cooker is superior to that with the new one. It has a great one for chicken risotto and another for liver in onion gravy which is delicious. I make the stock with marmite for that.I am very pleased with this model all round.

I purchased this Morphy Richards 48710 as opposed to cheaper cookers because of the fantastic customer service I have had from Morphy Richards in the past. The recipe book is excellent and the food tastes great.

Slow Cookers are just perfect for a good hot meal when you have been at work all day! The Morphy Richards 48710 is a good reasonable price and has a good size crock pot.

I generally use the slow cooker for meat and vegetable dishes which I prepare before leaving for work in the morning, throw the meat, veg, stock and herbs in with some boiling water - Simple!

When I arrive home everything is ready and cooked to perfection. Left on a medium heat all day the food doesn't dry and the cleaning of the crock pot is very easy.

Fills the house with a lovely welcome home - just need to pour the wine!
