Drew & Cole Clever Chef Multicooker Review

The Drew&Cole CleverChef 14-in-1 Multi-Cooker is a multi-purpose, digital and intelligent cooker with a powerful 860W heating element that helps it produce delicious foods full of natural flavours. It's a large appliance, cooking up to 5 litres of food in one go, and serving up to 6 people at once. It's also ideal for batch cooking.

The Drew&Cole CleverChef has 14 cooking programs. These are Steam, Stew, Soup, Roast, Poach, Bread Rise, Bake, Fish, Saute/Brown, Rice, Pasta, Slow Cook, Yoghurt, and also a customisable option. We particularly like the scheduling function which allows you to delay the cooker for up to 24 hours, meaning you can set it the night before. When finished, the keep warm function retains your food's heat until you serve it up. Cleaning is easy due to the non-stick inner cooking pot and dishwasher safe components.
