Brevile slow cooker

[pugh]

so bought a bigger SC (5.5l). Had a 3.5l morphy Richards before. Made a lamb dish today for the first time and put it on high initially. It seems v hot! And even when turned to low it bubbled is much it was spitting steam onto work surface &lots of crusty burnt buts in the side.

On the which e it did comment that the bigger ones can be hotter. Any ideas? I'll try to get a feel for it but whole idea is to leave it for a day while we are out/at work. Or just use low setting or auto.

Any ideas? Or experience?

Ahh...is it a 'One Pot Cooker' rather than a slow cooker? I was given a Breville 'One Pot Cooker' that actually isn't a slow cooker at all. If you use in on low you can leave stuff in it for a good few hours but it isn't as cool and slow as an actual slow cooker. The auto setting is great, it keeps things simmering, which is good if you have an hour or two until a meal but don't want to be stirring a saucepan for ages.

Nope it doesn't say one pot cooker as far as I can see...will give it a go and see.

I looked on Breville's site for a manual for my one pot cooker, and have discovered that it is now sold as a Slow Cooker No manual available either. The box says "One-Pot Cooker" and it was given to me by someone who preferred a 'real' slow cooker and had bought a different one.

Breville say cooking on low will take 8 hours and that Auto does 1 hour of high and gradually reduces to low.

If you read the reviews on the Amazon website, there are a few similar stories of furious bubbling on a low setting.

I took mine back (to Argos) after reading the reviews and will wait for the Jan sales to get a different one.

funny you should say this as I acquired one a month ago & find mine furious with the heat,I have had to put everyting on low.Was used to my old one that cooked perfectly,may be looking into this

Ok so it isn't just me then!what I find surprising is that it scores so high on Which website!would have thought that is a problem. I'll try another dish on auto but if it persists then I'm taking it back too. Any other 'safer' suggestions for a bigger sized one?
