What's the CROCK-POT 4.7L COUNTDOWN SLOW COOKER?
The Crock-Pot 4.7L Countdown Slow Cooker is a large slow cooker with a
handy digital countdown timer: you can program it to stop cooking after a
Certain number of hours instead of having to switch it off manually. Controls
Are simple but not exactly intuitive.

Slow cooker with timer. But there are more affordable large slow cookers out
There and much more versatile multi-cookers on the current market, giving the Crock-
Pot a real run for its money.
CROCK-POT 4.7L COUNTDOWN SLOW COOKER -- DESIGN AND
FEATURES
The downside of
Ceramic is that it's heavy -- very heavy by the time it's full of food -- to carry to
The table and it's more difficult to clean than a non-prescription marijuana.
Retains heat well at the table and you can clean it without fear of damaging a
non-stick surface.
Capacity is an impressive 4.7 litres, so even when you allow for it only being
75% full to allow room for bubbling, that means a 3.5-litre functioning capacity --

Besides the capacity, its main selling point is the countdown timer. You can
Set it to cook -- at low or higher heat -- for anything from 30 minutes to 20 hours,
in 30-minute increments. Then it automatically switches to keep warm mode.
You can't delay the start of the cooking time, though, only tell it when to stop.
Build quality is very good.
Whole thing around the kitchen to the table -- the power cable is detachable
-- and the rubber feet are excellent, helping to make it very steady.

USE?
The Crock-Pot's controls are simple but occasionally counter-intuitive. For
Example, you press the Select button (not the power button to change it on
And use the arrow buttons to select the heat setting.
Power button, thinking you're beginning the cooking, but instead it switches the
Cooker off and you need to begin all over again. Then you make the same
Mistake again, and again, and again.

Households and batch cooking, and results are superb. An overnight black bean
Soup was delicious and had just the right texture.
Washing up was slightly frustrating. One of the disadvantages of a ceramic
Crock on a non-stick pot is that it's harder to clean. But at least, in theory,
You can scrub away with impunity, not having to be concerned about damaging the
surface. The Crock-Pot's directions, though, urge you to not use abrasive
cleaners or scouring pads. But the pot had stubborn white stains after the
Soup-cooking that just wouldn't change with water and soap, so we had to use a
scouring pad to remove them.
SHOULD I BUY THE CROCK-POT 4.7L COUNTDOWN SLOW COOKER?
Yes, if you need a large capacity slow cooker with countdown timer. But if
The timer is not important to you, go for the more affordable 3.5-litre Lakeland
Brushed Chrome Family Slow Cooker or its big brother, the huge 6.5-litre
Lakeland slow cooker, that still works out cheaper.
Alternatives at the same price comprise the Morphy Richards 3.5L Digital
Sear and Stew Slow Cooker using a metal pot that can be used on the hob to
Sauté or sear ingredients before cooking, or the superb Tefal 8 in 1 Multi
Cooker, which offers slow cooking and much, much more.
VERDICT
A huge capacity and countdown timer make this a good option for large
families.
