Crock-Pot is THE original slow cooker. Designed in the 1970s as a counter-top electrical appliance it has gone on to become a generic for the category, selling millions of units across the world. It was loved in the 70’s and it is still oh so loved now! They have now launched the Cook and Carry, which is sure to be a big hit with all families.
The Cook and Carry is the perfect appliance for stress free entertaining and ideal for any last minute dinner party plans. For families, it makes for a fuss free dinner as you can prepare and start cooking in the morning, and eat when you come home from a day full activities!
The Cook and Carry hosts a locking lid and removable cord. This makes for the ultimate solution in portability, allowing you to unplug it and take it out on the road either to a caravan or a hired cottage/villa. The specially designed thermal carry-bag allows you to carry your cooked meal to wherever it needs to go without any mess at all. It really is a very clever slow cooker!
The 5.7 litre capacity feeds up to 7 people and weighs just 5.5kgs. The minimal preparation involved means no one is left with the washing up as both the removable pot and lid are dishwasher safe. The sleek brushed stainless steel finish makes it the perfect kitchen accessory. It looks great, it cooks well and it’s easily transported. I think the Cook and Carry is fantastic and I know I will be purchasing some for Christmas presents this year!
The Cook and Carry is available for a very well spent £44.99. It is available at Argos, Comet Tesco and Amazon. For full stockist information visit http://www.crockpot.co.uk.

It’s the time of year for weddings galore, and with each invitation you receive, there are wedding gifts to buy! So where on earth do you start looking? Well, I would like to show you some appliances from Wilkinson are which are more than apt for anyone, not to mention totally affordable.
What about a traditional style cream kettle from Russell Hobbs. It looks fab and I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t like it in their kitchen! It features a rear water gauge, on/off indicator switch and pull off lid. It also features a 1.8 litre capacity, 3kW rapid boil concealed element and a 360 degree base with cord storage. I love the look of this kettle, and with a price of £45.00 you really can’t go wrong with it!
Or, how about a Gino D’Acampo Oval Slow Cooker? I don’t know anyone who would be disappointed to receive a slow cooker as a gift! It is perfect for slow cooking Italian stews, soups and sauces. When I first received my slow cooker I couldn’t wait to use it. The next day I made a fabulous beef stew, and the following I cooked a whole chicken in it! The food is amazing and the meat literally melts in your mouth. This slow cooker has been designed for ease of use; it can be left safely cooking while you go about your daily routine. And, here is the best bit; the price was £35.00, but now you can save an amazing £20.00, leaving the slow cooker costing a tiny £15.00, I don’t think you could beat that!
