Morphy Richards has reduced the price of its 1.5L Ceramic Slow Cooker to £19.99, a 20 per cent saving, making it a budget-friendly option for preparing hearty meals as autumn approaches. The compact appliance, which features three heat settings, is designed to cook soups, stews, and casseroles slowly, yielding tender meat and vegetables while using less energy than a traditional oven.
Energy-saving benefits and convenience
Slow cookers operate at lower temperatures over extended periods, which not only enhances flavour but also reduces energy consumption compared to conventional cooking methods. This can help keep household bills down, and because lower temperatures require no additional fat or oil, it supports healthier meal preparation. The appliance allows users to add ingredients in the morning and return to a ready meal in the evening, a feature appreciated by those with busy schedules.
The 1.5L capacity is most suitable for one or two people, according to the product description. For larger households, alternative deals are available from other retailers, as reported by Express.
Competing offers from Argos and Ninja
Argos has also discounted two of its top-rated slow cookers, both recommended by more than 95 per cent of customers. The Cookworks 3.5L Slow Cooker is now £17, reduced from £22, serving three to four portions, while the Cookworks 6.5L Slow Cooker has dropped from £33 to £20, catering for five to six portions.
Ninja has similarly reduced its Foodi 8-in-1 PossibleCooker, which can slow cook, sear, sauté, steam, braise, simmer, bake, prove, and keep food warm. Priced at £119.99, down from £149.99, it includes a removable non-stick pot that is oven-safe and doubles as a serving dish.
Customer reviews and feedback
The Morphy Richards slow cooker is also available on Amazon at the same £19.99 price, where it holds an average rating of 4.4 out of five stars from more than 2,000 customer reviews. One shopper commented: "This small slow cooker is an ideal size for a one-person household. Having said that, I can easily make two portions - one to eat, one to freeze. Being compact, it tucks away nicely on the work surface, even in a small kitchen. During the cooler months, it's essential to prepare nourishing food."
Another customer remarked: "Absolutely love this slow cooker, perfect size for two portions. Makes lovely casseroles, lamb, chicken, beef; small and compact on the worktop, easy to clean." They added: "Perfect cook pot for a single person - put all your ingredients in, cut veggies up into chunk size pieces, switch on and leave alone, perfect meal at the end of the day. Highly recommended."
A third reviewer enthused: "Love my little slow cooker. Has made all the difference to my meals this winter. Especially good for cooking meats." Another home cook noted: "This helps make a perfect stew. So easy to use and easy to clean. Would recommend."
However, some buyers found the appliance too small for their needs. One reviewer said: "On arrival, we found it far too small for our purpose, so we had to return it. More suitable for a single serving, not the two we had planned." Another customer reported: "I wanted a small one as there are only two of us. A little disappointed if I cook a stew, there isn't really room for any dumplings, hence I dropped a star."
The reduced price is available now, with the slow cooker positioned as a practical purchase for the upcoming cooler months, offering both energy savings and convenience for smaller households.
