The slow cooker that not only works brilliantly...

Slow cooking has always had certain advantages - it fits with busy lifestyles, produces flavoursome

melt in your mouth meals and is incredibly versatile, allowing you to cook casseroles, soups, curries

and even desserts and our ecolectric slow cooker is no exception. Simply put all your ingredients in

that morning and slow cook throughout the day so you come home to a delicious home cooked meal.

...it helps you do your bit to save the planet

Environmentally, slow cooking has even greater advantages - slow cookers use low levels of energy,

making them economical to run (rather then heating a large conventional oven). But ecolectric goes

even further, with extra low energy consumption and an insulated lid for even greater efficiency. So you

can be sure you’re helping slow down climate change too.

Meet the family

Every product in the ecolectric family is packaged in materials that are

both recycled and 100% recyclable. Naturally, that makes them better for
