Now the colder months are here, there's not much better than a hearty, home-cooked meal to warm the whole family. If you've been considering upgrading your kitchen gadgets, now is a good time — this Morphy Richards Slow Cooker is 32% off on Amazon, reduced from £74.99 to £50.93.

This appliance helps prepare delicious dishes with minimal effort, making it a must-have for busy households. With a generous 6.5-litre capacity, it can serve up to six main portions, making it ideal for families or for hosting dinner parties — or even Christmas lunch.

The slow cooker features three settings — low, medium and high — allowing you to adjust cooking times based on your schedule. You can set it to low before heading to work and come home to a fully cooked meal, or turn it high for a quicker, more intense process.

Moreover, it's built for convenience and durability. Its shatter-resistant cooking pot ensures long-lasting performance, providing peace of mind in hectic kitchens.

The Morphy Richards design has earned itself plenty of fans online, with 3,785 five-star ratings on Amazon. One impressed shopper said: "If you want to have great warming stews and soups, or even curries, this is ideal."

They also emphasised its economic benefits: "As this uses small amounts of energy to cook slowly during the day, you can set it to cook when you go out and return home to a fully cooked meal."

Another called it a "handy gadget for multitasking people." "I often try to cook, clean, and all that and forget the food in the cooker for too long (but) this gadget offers peace of mind and also keeps the flavours of the vegetables better," they explained. "I've been using it on and off for a month. I was reluctant to increase my electricity bills, but it hasn't. I would buy it again if needed."

One person even raved about its "sleek" aesthetic. "This is by far and away the best-looking gadget in my kitchen," they said. "It has such a pleasing, sleek shape, and the copper trim is perfect. Also, because this slow cooker is a wide oval shape, it means the surface area is larger, which is what I like, as this helps the flavours develop more fully."

It isn't all good news, though. One person found that when the pot was filled up, liquid bubbled up around the lid and dried along one side of it, "making it tricky to clean. " Their flat also strongly smelled of cooking food, which they blamed on "the lid not fitting tightly (enough)".
