Morphy Richards Ceramic 3.5L Slow Cooker Stainless Steel 460017 review

About the Morphy Richards Ceramic 3.5L

The 460017 has an oval 3.5 litre ceramic pot inside a brushed stainless steel body. The pot and the clear glass lid are both removable and dishwasher safe, and the handles stay cool to touch. The glass lid lets you check the food without lifting it.

Heat is set with a dial that has three presets: low, medium and high. The brand's page lists no keep warm setting and no timer, and no searing: this pot does not go on the hob. Morphy Richards says hob-safe pots come only on selected models in its range.

It measures 33 cm long, 25.2 cm high and 22 cm wide, with a 0.95 m cord and a power rating of 0.16 kW. Retailer listings say the pot serves four main portions, or six starters. The brand's page does not list the full box contents, but owners mention a recipe booklet with it.

What owners report about the Morphy Richards Ceramic 3.5L

Owners mostly say it is easy to use and easy to clean. They like putting a meal on in the morning and eating it in the evening, and several say it makes tough cuts of meat tender. The recipe booklet gets a mention, and so do low running costs. One owner who moved down from a 6.5 litre cooker says it warms up quickly and uses less electricity.

Complaints are few. One independent review found the high setting not very hot, and another source mentions a lid that does not fit snugly. Owners also describe it as small, with a family of five among those who still use it. Feedback on how it lasts is thin. One owner who bought a replacement pot received it intact, and another praises the brand's after-sales support, though that was about a different cooker.

Owner feedback specific to this exact model is limited, and most of it comes from one retailer's review pages.

Who the Morphy Richards Ceramic 3.5L suits

Buy it if you cook for one to four people and want a plain cooker with a pot that goes in the dishwasher. It also suits people who prefer a cooker that needs no watching, with no timer or programming to learn.

Look elsewhere if you want to brown meat in the same pot: the Morphy Richards Sear & Stew 3.5L Slow Cooker 460012 does that. For batch cooking or a larger family, the Hamilton Beach The Family Favourite 6.5L Slow Cooker HBSC070 holds nearly twice as much. If you want the cooker to finish at a set time, the Morphy Richards Easy Time 6.5L Slow Cooker 461021 does that. Handle the ceramic pot with care, as it is heavy and can chip.
