Sage - The Fast Slow Pro - Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Steamer - 11 Settings, 6L Capacity, 1100 Watts - Hands Free Automatic Steam Release - Brushed Stainless Steel

You've never had a ragu like this. You've never had risotto this quick. Slow cookers used to be giant machines that took up way too much space, hauled out of a kitchen cupboard for 2 occasions during winter before being put away to collect dust. Pressure cookers were generally thought of as saucepans with a prepensity for coating your kitchen walls in stew before going into the bin. No more! I love this thing. I love that I can sauté onions and carrots, before dumping in some minced pork, a wallop of red wine and sitting on the couch while dinner is essentially made for me. There isn't any chance of something boiling over or getting burnt, it's all carefully regulated so you don't have to worry about it. Risotto is amazingly easy, bourguignon is easy and incredible, potatos go from raw to mashed in minutes. If you have a slow cooker, throw it out and get this. If you are tossing up getting this or an InstantPot, the truth is you can probably get either, but this looks lovely, has finer pressure control, and generally a better user interface over all. The cookbook you get with it is very good as well. There are some issues though. You might think Bolognese takes the 20 minutes the preset is set for, but you factor in prep (10-15 minutes), building up pressure (5 minutes), cooking (20 minutes) pressure release (2-5 minutes) and then any reduction of liquids (10+ minutes) and it starts to add up. Don't think you can make dinner in 20 minutes with this thing because you can't. You often need to reduce things you cook as there is nowhere for the steam to escape to, so you don't get any natural reduction. Also sometimes the buildup of pressure can take quite some time, especially for Risotto. Still. Get it. It's amazingly versatile and a great addition to any kitchen.

I've been looking to replace my old slow cooker for a while but they all do the same job and I was fed up replacing every 2-3 years. Pros can slow cook or pressure cook Has a 6L capacity which is perfect for my family of 6 It can sear the meat directly making food even more tasty as the juices are all in one pan. Very clear instructions Total one pot cooking, can sear, slow/pressure cook and then reduce and thicken stock/sauce as needed all with one device. Power cable can be fully detached making clean up and packing away so much easier Nice feature of adding a removable cup on the rear to collect drips Cons A tad heavy if moving it around lots, really needs staying on the counter but I don't have a lot of space Sear isn't as good as on a hob but does the job just need to leave a slight be longer that's all. Recipe book is a tad posh for every day cooking could do with things that are more budget friendly. Conclusion Brilliant piece of equipment. Can make a lot more stuff now especially if I've forgotten to take meat out of freezer in time for a slow cook meal it can still be done by pressure cook. It is a tad pricey but you are getting several machines in one and is totally worth it.

Love it. Had it a while now and is very reliable. One tip, if you have the cooker in slow cook mode, take the valve off of the top. If you don't, the suction can jam the lid shut... as I found! Also remember to replace the value properly for pressure cook mode or the steam will escape and you'll have to start the programme again... as I found. A bit trial and error but great bit of kit. Here is my (not so) secret recipe for a nice, hearty meal (for these cold May days?). Can be put together quickly once you've returned from work, by the time you've had a shower and seen to some bits around the house, the meal is ready. - Set on sear function and sear some beef chunks in a tiny bit of oil until browned (I use garlic infused rapeseed oil). - Add in some onion and garlic and sear for a few minutes until softened. - Add some baby carrots and quartered new potatoes (scrubbed but not peeled). -Immediately add some water (past the minimum line and so the contents are mostly covered). - Add a big tablespoon of Bovril, 1 beef oxo cube, 1 level teaspoon of mild curry powder, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. - Change to the pressure cooker setting and close the lid. - Put the cooker on the casserole setting and press start. Once this has finished (1hr), change the setting to reduce and press start (lid open). - Stay with the cooker and occasionally stir. Keep reducing until the sauce is the required thickness. Serve with veg of your choice and a baked baguette. I normally don't have extra veg, eat from a bowl and mop with the bread. Tasty.

I have previously had this machine and it is a very good machine unfortunately this one wasn’t working correctly so I had to send back. Ended up buying it again from John Lewis very helpful in making soups and other dishes.

Wow, this pressure cooker is just amazing, it's very easy to use and setup, and also very easy to clean. It's a high end product sold at an affordable price, definitely grab yourself one...

It's been a month since we bought it, we have used it almost on a daily basis, and we are delighted with the results. Everything that goes in, comes out amazing. We have used the most the pressure cooker mode, for beef, pork, risotto's, and ratatouille's, and flavours do intensify. We have tried the slow cook mode with tough cuts of meat, and it really makes them tender. The only two issues are, first, that even when the machine tells you that the pressure has been released and is ready to open, the safety locking pin stays up. The first couple of time I kept hitting it with the lid, until I realised that you need to press the release until it goes down (this might be the reason why on most reviews it is mentioned that this is the one piece that gets broken; only a hypothesis). Second, although the recipe book is great, it is quite limited, and you can run out of ideas fast, and there is no (big) community online, as with other alternatives on the market. There is, though, a more extensive list of recipes in the Australian webpage of the brand (named Breville, not Sage).

Sear doesn't work that well - doesn't get nearly hot enough. However the saute function works universally as a frying pan and so will pretty much cook anything. You defo couldn't stir fry in it but then again that's not what it's for. Pressure cook is terrific and I do pretty much everything that way now. Also does stuff so fast. Slow cooker is great too but the flavours under pressure are remarkably different. Other reviews talk about problems with the product early doors. After the first clean i removed the seal ring to clean. It just woulnt not seal under pressure after that and took a lot of work to sort out. Not impressed. So when it works it's great but that seal ring thing and the sear not being worth a sh## mean I take off a star and a half and then round it down

Makes the best risotto I've ever had, 30 minutes in total. I'd never normally make risotto due to time and hassle, but I love eating it, this cooker makes it in around 30 minutes and its the best ever! Easy to follow, but not many recipes come with it so you have to google (which is fine). Very easy to clean as it has so few parts. I would say though that the pressure cooker bit doesn't do nice stew, we use the slow cook setting after one failure. Its expensive but in terms of saving you on pans and washing up its great. The only other complaint (very minor) is that the recipe book is dishonest about cooking times as it doesn't allow for quite a long "preheating" before cooking can begin, but its not a problem, it beeps a lot so you can go and do something else and it'll let you know when its ready!

Bra men jag har svårt att beställa en extra tätningsring. Bortsett från det rekommenderas den varmt!
