The Lakeland 6.5L Searing Slow Cooker is a large slow cooker that browns food in the same pot, so you skip a separate frying pan. It has five browning settings, from Gentle to High Sear, plus Low, High, Steam Cook and Yoghurt cooking modes. A lockable glass lid keeps food in during transport and lets you check on it without lifting the lid. It suits big households and batch cooks; rivals at this size usually brown less precisely or not at all, and the 3.7-star rating suggests owners like the concept but have reservations.

Ratings are middling at 3.7 out of 5 from 14 ratings, so owners are split. The searing-in-one-pot idea and the large capacity draw praise, while some find the results or the bulk less convincing.
The Lakeland 6.5L Searing Slow Cooker lets you brown and slow cook in the same pot, so food can go from raw to ready without a separate pan. It has five browning settings and four cooking settings.
The browning settings are Gentle, Low, Medium, Sauté and High Sear. The cooking settings are Low, High, Steam Cook and Yoghurt.
The glass lid is sealed to prevent splattering and locks with a sliding lock on each side, so the cooker can be transported with food inside. You can see the food through the lid without releasing heat and steam. The 6.5-litre capacity suits batch cooking. It can be used for cheaper cuts of meat such as oxtail, beef brisket and pork, and for vegetables, lentils and beans.
