The timer has three different temperature settings and is programmable for 26 hours, which is quite possibly the longest of any slow cooker available on the market today. A nice touch to this elegantly designed slow cooker is the addition of two riveted handles that make it easy to move cooker around.

The three programmable settings are low, high and keep warm. The great thing about the keep warm facility is that the slow cooker will automatically switch itself to this mode once the cooking time has elapsed, allowing you plenty of time if you are not ready to serve straight away.

As All-Clad produce other items in their cookware range, the addition of this slow cooker will tie in nicely if you are also the proud owner of other All Clad items.

Tips for Using Your All-Clad Programmable Slow Cooker

One of the tastiest meals to cook in a slow cooker is pot roasts. When cooking place the meat on a small roasting rack so that it doesn't stew in the juices that are released.
Make sure you save these delicious juices at the end of the cooking time to use in making gravy to accompany the meat. You can easily skim the fat off the cooking liquor if you tip them into a tall jug and allow to stand for 10 minutes.

My Quick 10 Minute Prep Indian Chicken Casserole for a Slow Cooker

It doesn't come much easier or tastier than this recipe. It takes me around 10 minutes of preparation time to throw this together set the timer and the way it goes on stop

Simply take whatever root vegetables you have such as carrots, swede and celery then dice them into 1 cm squares. Do the same with an onion, two cloves of garlic and a large potato. Put a small amount of oil in a pan and toss the vegetables around for a couple of minutes. Place the ingredients in the base of the slow cooker and add 1/2 pints of stock either vegetable or chicken plus a squeeze of lemon.

Next rub into some fresh chicken breasts ground cumin, coriander, pinch of salt and pepper and cayenne pepper. Place that into the mixture within the slow cooker and set the timer for a minimum of four hours on low.

To finish the dish add in a large knob of butter, salt to taste and a couple of tablespoons of crème fraîche. If you need to thicken it add in some cornflower mixed with water.

This produces chicken casserole that has a creamy gravy with Indian influences and is just so tasty. Of course you can just use what you have in the cupboards. Many times I actually cook chicken from frozen!
