Best slow cooker
Swan 6.5L retro slow cooker
With a slow cooker, you can streamline the usually long process of making Christmas dinner and free up the oven for roasting your sides. This model is gentle but effective in its cooking, producing succulent meat after a full eight-hour test. There are three settings in addition to the ‘keep warm’ option – low, high and auto – and a 32-page recipe book. Available from Amazon (£44.99)
