Prima Slow Cooker

Hi I purchased a Prima Slow cooker around 3 years ago and have used it frequently ever since with no problems - that is until I put my fave soup on and went to work expecting it to be ready when I returned... well yes the cooker did the job BUT when I went to get a bowl I found the lid had shattered into a million pieces and the soup was now riddled with small shards of glass.

I got the Iceland turkey burgers out of the freezer, read the ...  Read the complete review

We all know what(or most of us anyway) a slow cooker does, let's face it, if you are reading this opinion you have either just bought or are thinking of buying one. Well, for those who don't know how a slow cooker works or what it does, let me enlighten you. Food is cooked for long periods of time usually between 8 and 10 hours in a crockery pot which fits inside a metal housing. This housing is heated by elements which cook the food from the bottom.

I have read that each time you raise the lid ...  Read the complete review
