JML Go Chef Multi Cooker - 5L 8 in 1 Electric Slow Cooker Pot, Roast, Slow Cook, Steam, Poach, Fry, Boil, Bake and Fondue - Easy to Use, Non Stick - Great Rice Cooker and Deep Fat Fryer

My goodness, it can do almost anything. I'm still trying to work out if it can cure cancer and fill the dishwasher on it's own.It does roasts, soups, and sauces, it fries, steams and bakes. I've made gorgeous bolognese sauces, meatballs in pomodoro sauce, roasted a chicken, done a full fry up, made delicious chicken stock, accidentally left a stew on all night without it being a dried up mush in the morning and steamed quite tasty veggies (only once, in a half-hearted attempt to be healthy).It is very easy to clean - I leave the removable "pot" full of boiling water to soak, come back 15 minutes later, clean it with a sponge and soapy water (no scrubbing required!) and voila, good as new. The smart plastic "shell" is also easy to clean with no fiddly buttons to try and clean round.If I had one small criticism, it would be that the timer only lasts 2 hours. It's not that big a deal; I just either put it on very low overnight and set an alarm on my phone to remind me to turn it off or use a plug in timer.Every household should have one of these - you literally cannot go wrong with it. It's a "one hit wonder", meaning you throw everything in in one hit, leave it to do it's thing and come back to a delicious stew, rich bolognese sauce, perfectly done meatballs or a crispy fry up.Om nom nom. JML have absolutely got it right!

This is one of the best most used kitchen gadgets that I have ever bought. It's large capacity is brilliant....when I cook I make enough for 2-3 nights ( just 2 of us now) . Ideal for a busy full time working person! The hotplate under the pan is so fast in heating up....almost immediately. You can fry, boil, simmer or slow cook....brilliant. I have made beautiful casseroles, chilli con carne,all in one pasta dishes, curries and also loads of jam am chutneys due to the glut of plums, damsons, apples and courgettes this summer...I find it so easy and fast and with its timer of 2 hours ideal for slow cooking also. I feel it is safe to leave on due to the timer control . The lid keeps all the moisture in the food, when you slow cook or simmer....The pan is easily removable and so easy to wash, non-stick...obviously be careful not to mark it ...always use wooden or plastic spoons and spatulas. Not used it for deep frying yet...we try to avoid deep fry in our house, but I would imagine it is brilliant due to the fast heating up and temperature control, and capacity...I have steamed veg....cauliflower and broccoli on the rack above a casserole dish, and was lovely . Well worth the money you will use it a lot......

My Go Chef IS very versitile, you CAN use it eight different ways and it sure is a multi cooker.What it is NOT, is non-stick.What it is NOT is controllable.Firstly the non stick is either non existent or the poorest quality non stick ever as it is nowhere near the quality of say a Tefal pan.Secondly any food you cook in it STICKS horribly.We cook a lot of soups, stews and casseroles and have done for many years, but not in this machine anymore.Now we have gone back to our old reliable Crock pot which does not stick and burn the way the Go chef does.I REALLY wish I had returned this straight away but circumstances prevented me from doing so.Take it from someone who uses the Go chef regularly (or used to) and put it through its paces, it is NOT what you want unless you want burnt, stuck food that is.

Pros:It's super versatile with 8 cooking functions which is awesome for someone like me with limited kitchen space.The controls are straightforward; I can set it and forget it, which is perfect for my busy lifestyle.I love how the non-stick surface makes cleaning up after cooking a breeze, especially since I hate scrubbing pots.The 5L capacity means I can cook for the whole family or prep meals for the week, and the racks give me options to cook different things at once.Cons:It's not the best at everything it does; my roasts came out uneven, and deep frying was underwhelming.The heat isn't evenly distributed, so I have to keep an eye on my food more than I'd like.It takes up a lot of space on my counter, which is a bit of a pain when my kitchen is already cramped.Overall:This cooker is a handy all-in-one for my small kitchen, but I'm not sold on how well it performs across all its advertised functions. I might consider specialized equipment if I need consistent results. It's good for versatility, but there are definitely some trade-offs

Bought this for my elderly Mother (82) who finds it difficult to cook using a regular oven.its small light and simple to use, mum picked it up in no time and the food is beautifully cooked and as a result she's eating better than she has done in years - very pleased.

Delivered today and already made some leek potato soup, then fried gammon and egg.Great value easy to use ,l will be using it everyday.
