We are using it all the time for all kinds of meals, Just set it up and press start so easy and everything tastes better.
Fast shipping. I took it to the kitchen of.my Office to help me have better meals. It has been a life saviour.
Very pleased with my clever chef so far. I downloaded the app that goes with it and have tried quite a few recipes. Very easy to use and clean after every use. Cheaper then using the oven/ pressure cooker/ grill.
Wow I thought it was bread maker
But you can do other things.youcan cook a dinner etc.not used it yet.but I think well worth the money
I recently purchased and used the saute and slow cook and want to say my slow cooker will no longer be used. I would recommend this and I suppose you could adapt recipes to suit.
Lots of really useful programs, I have used it quite a lot and really like it. Only 2 snags, 1 is the Sauts temperature needs to be higher to be really effective and 2 the keep warm facility cannot be disabled via programming, only by manual operation. That said it is a great piece of kit.
waw where do i start its the most amazing thing i have ever bought for my kitchen i use it all the time and i would be happy to tell people to get one as i cant live without mine
Using as a slow cooker great, use as a steamer not really big enough for two people if you like a selection of vegetables. Not tried a roast yet but only because I’m not sure how to use the cooker, which comes to the only downside NO instructions for use. But overall I would recommend it to anyone it’s very good.ne
Just used twice but useful to have arounddose bake bread takes ages so prepare bread in advance !
Recommend for ecconomy elderly students anyone !
Good value
It was great, but the touch screen has stopped working and so I am unable to use it as I would like to. Can select programme, but unable to adjust the timer. Disappointed as the last machine I had I kept for nearly ten years with no hassle. This one I have had less than one yea
Although baking bread in it seemed an odd method but it works. Turning it over to crust the top does the job.
I have been using it relentlessly as my sole cooking implement over the last five weeks as my kitchen is being renovated. I expected there to be limitations but I have so far found none. A bit of juggling about but nothing the steaming rack can’t keep warm while the next stage cooks.
I’ve made yogurt, rice, stew, curry, meatballs, tarteflette, spaghetti carbonara, bread, cakes, pastry tarts, quiche, fried breakfast, fish, various day to day meals and even garlic and cheese toast.
The cooker is quite good but I would have preferred a recipe book.
Nice looking smart bit of kit.
Found that everything I have cooked in it so far comes out great, keeps all the moisture in most of the foods. Especially like the rice function as it takes all the guesswork out of it and comes out perfect. You need to experiment a bit with the different functions to find out what’s going to work best for what you need but it’s hard to get anything wrong really as it’s fairly easy to use.
Would recommend overall.
This cooker is a very good product! Anyone can buy with confidence. It can be used for different items to cook, for example pasta, stew, soup, roast/meat, fish, yoghurt…
First time we used this to cook rice was a disaster as we put far too much water in and it all came out of the top. However, after some experimenting we’ve now worked out how much to put in and get great rice every time. Would recommend if you cook a lot of rice. Haven’t really experimented in use for other things yet but you can cook all sorts in it.
I bought this item to replace my large slow cooker when I managed to break the crock-pot. I honestly do not know how I ever managed without it and use it most days. I use it for proving bread, roasting meat, cooking rice etc etc. It is really versatile and very easy to clean. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Really like this product great for cooking with . Had one similar but broke after 10 years . Is so quick and easy to use thank you
Can cook most things in this. Soups are really good.
This is fine, but it’s not a pressure cooker like the instant pot so if you are looking for a similar product to the instant pot this isn’t it! It’s fairly easy to use and the slow cooker is good in that it will slow cook on high in 2 hours and on slow in 2. Steamer also works well. What I don’t like is the lack of replacement products available from Drew and Cole in case anything happens to the steamer basket or pot.
She uses it almost every day…says her oven is virtually extinct. The only thing she says she does less than the time stated is her veg…as it over cooks it.
I didn’t know what to expect really, but far exceeded my expectations, so easy to use even my partner found it easy, great selection of menu cooking features havnt tried them all but what I have very successful, wish I’d bought one soone
Very easy to use – I question the timing for “slow cooker” should be much longer – but the DIY setting sorts that out As long as you are at home when you are cooking! – same criticism for fast cooker too high a temperature.
Not tried baking in it. – should be a lot for recipes available on the app – that part is poor.
Good for soup.
Multi-functional and perfect for my needs. Bought this to replace my rice cooker and soup maker. Beautiful design and looks like a high-end model.
I was even able to cook duck breast and steak using the sous vide method by utilising the ‘DIY’ option to set the temperature and cooking time to the level I want. It came out perfect and retains the moist and juice in the meat. This is a godsend as I don’t have to buy a sous vide cooker!
Easy to use, load your ingredients, close the lid, set the time & Temperature and leave it to do the rest, easy to clean, well worth the money
I love it because it does everything just as it should do and I have enjoyed using it, I made a beautiful Beef stew last week and it cooked perfectly….my only gripe is that I never received a recipe book
I bought this to replace my slow cooker. I was looking for a slow cooker that included the function for frying ingredients before slow cooking. I hadn’t originally planned to get a multi cooker but it seemed a good option and I am enjoying using it. The automatic rice cooker function works a treat and I use the saute function often before slow cooking a meal. However, I did have an issue early on with the inner container not connecting properly with the switch underneath the pan which starts the different programs. As I am overseas I couldn’t send it back for a replacement so my husband did a quick fix by fabricating a thin metal disk the size of bottle top to go over the button in the bottom of the cooker. This seems to have done the trick and the pan connects properly now and switches the cooker on! I have still given the cooker a high rating as I think its a very useful bit of equipment and I use it 3-4 times a week.
I brought this for my hubby for his birthday…he loves it!!!!
I do 2 because he makes great food in it..easy to clean ect, good piece of kit….if you like cooking.would recommend.
Finaly I have my produt! I have done a Cake ,chocolat Cake,was amazing!
I was excited to receive my multi cooker and was hoping it would replace my slow cooker, electric steamer and soup pan, but sadly this is not the case. Although it would replace my slow cooker and soup pan, it would not replace my electric steamer, because you cannot steam 4 salmon fillets and veg for 3 in the cooker at the same time. It’s a shame really because I think that it’s a great unit overall, looks nice too. I am thinking of returning it, but unfortunately customer services are on a training day today.
I have been using this for the most part of this year and it seriously has to be one of my favorite purchases of the year! I have nothing negative to say about this product! Sleek, convenient, versatile, easy to clean… Even came with a recipe book which is useful, you know. just in case you’re stuck for ideas or unsure with what program to use.
This multi cooker is simply great!
This is the second best appliance in my kitchen (1st place goes to the breadmaker). Brilliant for making stews/soups/casseroles – food never sticks & doesn’t need attention (so perfect when busy with everything else!) once it has been started off. Great for the planet – don’t need to have the oven on to make pot of food. Have used for yoghurt – excellent, and rice – works well – as well. Takes up little space for all that it does. 100% recommended.
Omg i love it first use i made topside beef it was melt in the mouth i use mine everyday cant imagine my life without it now brilliant for everything
What can I say? I am still getting used to the many functions on this slow cooker. One thing which I can say is that it does reduce the amount of washing up.
Bought this clever chef as my pressure cooker diddent work on my new cooker I made the right choice because its not a sealed unit you can add ingreadance when cooking unlike the pressure cooker good value for money
Happy with the machine but unfortunately the wire get loose and obviously the cooking stops, which is annoying as if you don’t notice, you’re wasting time, money and food. For that price, I do expect a good quality connection. A shame
Recommend by my daughter and she was so right. Much easier than my last slow cooker in fact I’m glad it broke now and I replaced it with this one.
Compact but very useful 1 pot item.
Very good for stews, soups, rice, curries and even bread dough proving.
In the end it is a variable heat hot plate with a sealed lid for streaming.
But it has proven very useful.
Absolutely love this machine. I brought as a alternative to a bread maker which are impossible to find at the moment.
During the weekend we have roasted a whole Chicken in it, made a share and tear cheesy garlic dough balls, cooked rice, made bread.
All came out perfectly cooked. So easy to use. Easy to clean. I am so glad everywhere was out of stock of bread machine and I ended up with this little gem instead.
Brilliant! Arrived yesterday and I immediately made a lentil soup. I then tried to bake bread later. My soup was great but the bread more like a cake (which gave me an idea for an actual cake later!). This is the best kitchen gadget I’ve ever bought! I’ll use it for rice and pasta mainly and use the slow cooker setting for borscht in the winter or Greek big bean stew!
Bought as an alternative to the main oven. it has multiple capabilities and been using for almost a week trying different options. Gr8 product and so easy to use, instructions are straight forward and easy to follow. Definitely recommend.
Be very careful if you situate under a wall cupboard as it started to de-laminate our high gloss door on one unit. Luckily we noticed and think we can save it otherwise I will need to spend 100 for a new door to be made as they were custom. We now use on a work surface without anything above.
Not bad, It doesn’t have an off button which means will have to off from plug.
I really bought it for rice – I eat a lot and was getting bored of constantly boiling it. This machine was a little more than a rice cooker so seemed worth the extra and I have not been disappointed!
Everything I’ve done in it has been spot on. Even my wife likes it (which is a big plus…) and the keep warm function is brilliant, meaning there’s always warm food ready to eat.
Really simple and easy to clean too, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
The clever chef is great to use but would like more recipes specifically for it so we could cook more with it.
Have used this machine two times and only had it a week. Curry was brilliant and also made stew and dumplings and the meat was extremely tender. Easy instructions and simple to use. I followed the recipes in the book that came with the machine until I get the hang of it.
I bought this for myself as a Christmas pressie, I absolutely love it, especially the stew button has changed my life when I’m at work all day so easy to operate love it 🙂
I am really enjoying my Clever Chef. A roasted chicken in under an hour, well cooked and full of flavour. Chicken portions also ready to make a wonderful stew. Versatile and a great asset in the kitchen.
joints and veg. our first one malfunctioned and I must say back up is fantastic. it was collected 12 hours after the call to Amazon and a replacement was delivered later the same day ! THANKS GUYS
Love this item and would definitely recommend to others. My niece bought one when she saw mine. Only thing I don’t like is to switch it off I have to in-plug it.
Good, nice size and lightweight just wish it had a roasting pa
This product is amazing use it all the time, as it is so versatile. I like the delayed cooking option. It means when you go out early out early and are not back until late, food is cooked just right. Also the keep warm feature is good. Would not go back to just a slow cooker.
Easy guidelines, cooks well. DIY function an added benefit. Lightweight to love to any position of you choice.
I changed to this from a slow cooker. Thought if nothing else it would be used for that, but I use it most days. Making soups. Roast potatoes. Steaming. It’s brilliant well worth the money. Soup makers on their own are pricey. Easy light pit to clean, much better than a crockery pot. Would definitely recommend
Smart product and does what it is named clever chef could do with some more recipes but I make them as I go along , it’s a easier way of life like it says less dishes and you don’t have to stand over it while it cooks life easier, Thai will save me time and hassle in long run as I can cook and freeze allot of the meals.
I put cut up potatoes in the steam basket whilst cooking a stew and they are perfectly cooked saving hob cooking.
This has a capacity for between 3-4 people easily, for the price it’s fantastic and I would highly recommend
Overall it is convenient to use, started to like i
I have made stews and soups so far it a good buy overall
This is brilliant, I was after a slow cooker and stumbled across this. It does everything you need it to in one pan. So easy to use and keep clean and is perfect for stews. Haven’t tried to bread yet but again the instructions says it does everything in one pot. Much better than a basic slow cooke
This is perfect for someone who is the only household member its easy to use and very versatile I have not used all the setting but what I have as been very good so when I get round to the rest I’m sure they will be just as good.
It was a gift so I cant add anything about how it works
This product is really versatile. We bought it to cook rice and so we are able to keep it warm without overcooking it. It works really well and so far have been able to keep rice warm and perfectly cooked up to 1 hour 30 mins after it was ready. Its really easy to clean too.
Able to carry out so many cooking processes with this super cooker. Only one pot to clean.
Some humming noise after cooking in it for a month.
The pan gets scratched up quite easily. And I couldn’t find any replacements. Otherwise quite good.
I really like the ability to manual select the time and temperature depending on what I am preparing.
The delay timer system takes a bit of working out, other than that I love that I can throw everything in, set the mode and timer and my food is ready. It’s got so many options, I’ve even cooked a whole chicken in it, less messy than using the oven.
Haven’t used all the functions yet rice very good even made a lasagne! Not as bulky as old slow cooker and more versatile it would seem.

I was a bit dubious about buying this, but I’m very pleased with it, easy to use, doesn’t use much electric, and it’s so quick, Nowi tend to use it more than my cooker. The only niggle is the little condensation tray in the back, it doesn’t really seal very well and you get a little water run down the back, but I’m not overly concerned.
Absolutely love my new multi cooker I have used it so many times already and everything has turned out really lovely. It’s so easy to clean in fact even easier than traditional pans. It’s a must for any modern kitchen and will make life so much easier for busy people who don’t have hours to spend cooking meals just put your ingredients in and leave it to do the hard work for you.
Very economical to use. There are so many ways to cook with this machine. Very easy to use, and foods are cooked to perfection. Food is cooked quickly and if you are not ready to use the food, it switches to Keep Warm until you are ready to use the cooked food.
A little more instructions and receipes would be better. Apart from that’s seems to do the job. Cooked rice and steamed veg to date and went well, do happy days to come.
After reading lots of reviews I took chance on the clever chef, I say chance as it was cheaper than others. I have for a few months and it has exceeded all expectations with regards to what it can do. The cook book that comes with has plenty recipes to get you started.
Quite like it but can’t find a cook book to compliment it. All the multicooker cook books have pressure cooking facility and this machine dosn’t.
Excited when this product arrived. First meal I cooked in it was a Spaghetti Bolognese from the recipe book provided, very happy with the results. The next time Lamb Shanks this was on the slow cooker menu, took just over 4 hours, but cooked to perfection. Well happy with this product.
Wish I’d been on commission – I know 3 people who purchased one after seeing what mine does .
Just wish it had a better recipe book – could do with having some really simple basic recipes to start and more detail of things you can cook in i
This is an awesome cooker. You can use it as a regular pan or you can use it as a pressure cooker. So far I have steamed vegetables and prepared stew and pasta and the results are excellent every time. Much better than a pressure cooker ( for me at least) as it is versatile and fries and bakes. I love it and highly recommend it to anyone who loves cooking and experimenting.
So easy, used for stews and cooked a pork joint in it. Just put all ingredients in pot, pick from menu or use DIY and forget it. I must admit I did stir the stew a couple of times during cooking but not really necessary. I like that it switches to keep warm mode after cooking time ends. Pork joint was a piece of leg and I slow cooked it- it fell apart, so tender.
Haven’t used all the functions yet, but I have made bread, a lemon drizzle cake and done steak and chicken fillets, all were delicious. Also steam my veg too.
OMG I wish I’d bought one of these sooner. It is just perfect. Lovely hot meals waiting for me when I return home from work. I’ve so far used the saute, slow cook, roast and stew. I’ve not used my oven since treating myself to this baby. It cooks enough so I can have a few meals done and then freeze the cooked meals once they’ve cooled down. It is so simple to clean as it just goes in the dishwasher and then wipe over the rest. The potatoes I cooked in the steamer tray where melt in your mouth. Made a lovely Shepherds Pie. I have noticed I need to season things slightly more than I would usually but that’s fine as I marinate my meat overnight in the fridge then saute it before putting on slow cook for example. This is a wonderful kitchen gadget. I give it a thousand stars out of five!!!
For cooking one pot meals in very good cakes are good baking bread not so good , not able to put ingredients in the pot and forget about it, needs attention half way through cycle
I am very limited in cooking in both space and time. This is wonderful since I can just make everything in it and just leave it there. I have to say tho… That I’m having a bit of trouble with adapting other recipes that are not listed in the cookbook (with time and degrees) but it will come eventually
So far I have made rice pudding, a beef stew & today made the Sunday roast beef. I must admit I wished that the cook book included instructions for plain roast meat. I decided to roast my beef & part way through to add vegetables in the top steaming tray. The vegetables did not steam as quickly as in the pressure cooker but next time I will add them sooner to steam. Over in I am well pleased with the Clever chef & am glad that I chose it. In time no doubt I gain experience with it.
I like the fact that the Clever Chef can do so many things; the only down site for me is that the inner pot has to be hand washed and not suitable for the dishwasher.
I find it very easy to use and clean. Enclosed a picture of the yogurt I made so so easy.
