Shoppers keen to whip up hearty dinners with minimal fuss can snap up a large slow cooker for under £60 using the discount code AUTUMN10. The Morphy Richards Sear and Stew 6.5 litre Oval Slow Cooker is available for £58.46, reduced from £74.99 at Yimbly, an online marketplace owned by this publication’s parent company, Reach Plc.
The slow cooker boasts a removable hob-proof cooking pot, enabling shoppers to brown meat and other ingredients on the hob before moving the same pan into the device to carry on cooking. Its substantial 6.5-litre capacity can handle more than 10 starters or eight main portions, while the oval design also offers sufficient space for cooking whole joints of meat.
A glass lid lets home cooks monitor their meal without letting steam escape, while rose gold touches give the gadget a chic appearance on the kitchen worktop, as reported by Wales Online. The cooking pot is shatterproof and engineered to reduce the amount of pans required when preparing meals, though shoppers should be aware that it isn’t compatible with induction hobs.

The Morphy Richards Sear and Stew 6.5 litre Oval Slow Cooker has earned rave reviews on the Morphy Richards website, with one customer gushing: “Easy to use, easy to clean and saves loads of washing up. Glad I picked the 6.5L version, so many plans for it now.”
This shopper managed to cook lamb shanks “beautifully” in the device, praising the “depth of flavour” as being “so much better than from the oven”.
Another customer enthused: “Recently got this new slow cooker as our old one was dated, couldn’t be happier. Brilliant product – Simple to use and much easier to clean than the standard crock pot that comes with most slow cookers.”
A third buyer commented: “Third Morphy Richard’s slow cooker over a period of about 40 years. Excellent value. Long lasting and very easy to use! I still have my oldest one and it’s still working though quite small!”

However, some customers had minor gripes, with one Amazon reviewer noting: “Great slow cooker, but I wish it had a timer function. It’s not the end of the world as I plug it into a smart plug so I can set a timer with Alexa or turn it on/off remotely but a timer would be much easier.
“I love being able to use the inner compartment on the hob first to sear meat before slow cooking. It’s really lightweight so it’s easy to take in and out of the cupboard. It is big though, probably a minimum of 6 portions so better for large families or big meal preps.”
Another customer pointed out: “It hasn’t got a warm button, that’s the only issue for me.”
