Instruction manual shows… LAMB SHANKS SLOW COOKER….. 2 lamb shanks just fit and stand upright, not much room for vegetables. Can’t return it as it’s has been used. I had to use it to prove it isn’t suitable for what I wanted it for. Show details

 Follow-up  · Cooked Kai si min and it tasted revolting. Easy enough to clean lighter than the large oval ones.

A dangerous piece of rubbish! AVOID! – What an absolute piece of rubbish! Only used a few times and the control dial has fallen off and I can hear something rattling around inside which I assume is the screw which is supposed to hold the thing together. The few times I did use it every meal came out horrible because it cooks so high even on the lowest setting. It doesn't "slow cook"… Read more

it just boils making the food taste bland and meat either rubbery or mush. The whole unit gets dangerously hot and the boiling contents cause the lid bounce all over the place splashing liquid down the sides of the cooker. I ended up just using it to make food for my dog. So now the electrical wires are exposed due to the control dial falling off this thing is dangerous. I've had a few different Kmart appliances over the years and all have been utter crap but this takes the cake! Yes they are cheap but they should be SAFE and do what they say they do no matter the price! Kmart have a lot to answer for! AVOID buying this at all costs!

It's worth every cent – I purchased this item for 2 reasons, the first being that it is perfectly round(as opposed to oval) so I can try cakes, and secondly because of the low price/free delivery offer(if bundled with other items total $45). Rarely do I give 5 star reviews, but I believe that this item at $25 deserves it. I have used it often, mainly for morning… Read more

porridge(many times in winter)/chicken drumsticks/pork chop recipes. My only request would be that it was shorter and wider(keeping the same capacity is fine). Overall, I am happy to give 5 stars.

Does what it says - Functional – anko Slow Cooker. Have used it for almost 2 months. It is functional and easy to use. Works as stated. Love the small size. Ideal for places where space is at a premium. Easy to store in a pantry when not in use. The unit is easy to clean. Great Price at $25. Show details

Cooks too high – I have had this slow cooker for about 6 months. I had previously had a larger Kmart oval slow cooker that worked really well. This one I am now getting rid of as the low setting cooks at too high a temperature. When I put in a stew or a curry in and set it to low it boils the liquid and therefore the meat is boiled (yuk) instead of slow cooked.… Read more

This means that the meat does not absorb the flavour and comes and bland and not as moist and slow cooked as it normally would.

Convenient size, but if it cannot be set low enough to slow cook, what is the point? Have given one star as it is not fit for the purpose it is meant for. Structurally I have had no issues with it.

Disappointing, lucky was cheap.

Great compact size, looks great, gets hot – This is a lovely ceramic slow cooker that is a great price but the outside gets very hot when cooking. It has a very basic dial and is untimed so you do need to keep an eye on it. The lid doesn’t sit fully. However it’s a great compact cooker for small meals and desserts. Show details

Simple, works well, good value – Bought this to replace my old chipped crock pot. Pros: It's a good design with the heater in the sides and it has a high top lip so I don't get as much splatter as the old one. It heats at 205 watts on 'high', 135 watts on 'low' and 80 watts on 'keep warm'. The crock is black which I prefer to a white one as stains don't show. It only cost $25 Cons: It doesn't have "Lamb shanks" on it like the picture shows! Show details

Used once, it fell apart – I used it once. As I was wiping over the outer part, the control knob until fell out of the body of the piece, exposing wires and other parts. I know $25 is cheap, but I expect more than just one use out of it. Show details

Is ok but will return it – This slow cooker worked ok. I made pulled pork in it and I put it on the high setting so it would cook in about 5hours. It did cook in that time but BC of the high setting the condensation build up meant the lid rattled quite a bit and it splattered water and juices all over my bench top. I will be returning this item to buy a better quality one… Read more

that hopefully won't splatter. The meat itself was cooked well though and I ended up with a very tasty pulled pork
