The Russell Hobbs 21850 Multi-Cooker is an 11-in-1 appliance with a powerful 900W heating element. Its pre-set cooking modes are Rice, Slow Cook, Meat, Fish, Stew, Soup, Steam, Yoghurt, Porridge, Bread and Cake, giving you plenty of choice over the type of cook required. The cooker has a large 5 litre capacity - enough to make family meals or for batch cooking. Despite this large capacity, the cooker has a compact size.

One feature of interest is the 24 hour delay timer for certain modes. This means that if you intend to use the cooker in Slow Cook, Rice, Soup, Bread, Steam, Porridge or Yoghurt mode, you can prepare the ingredients up to 24 hours prior. Cleaning up is made easy through the use of a non-stick bowl and dishwasher friendly components such as the included steamer basket, two spatulas and measuring cup.
