Netherton Foundry Shropshire Cast Iron Slow Cooker

This was purchased as a gift. Although we like the fact that it is British, it is not ideal from a maintenance / cleaning perspective as, apparently, care is required to ensure you don't get any rust. Wouldn't be any good for me, but I do believe in buying British whenever possible, so if you can deal with the maintenance side of things, then please support our industries and buy it

We purchased this slow cooker because it is made of cast iron and also that it is British. It is more expensive than some brands but we are absolutely delighted with the quality. Very easy to use, love the wooden handles and the delivery service was excellent. We would definitely recommend this Cast Iron Slow Cooker.

Really, really like this for all the good reasons mentioned above, and was absolutely thrilled with the quality and presentation - however I was bitterly disappointed to read the small print, and am in two minds now whether to send it back or not.Unfortunately, towards the back of the booklet the instructions starkly warn one to "Never leave the appliance unsupervised when in use".I was actually hoping to leave meals cooking overnight or during the day when we're out at work, but the thought of having to stand over it and supervise it simmering away for eight hours at a time is breaking my spirit before I've ever started.Such a shame. It's truly a beautiful thing.

this product doesn't really even deserve to be called landfill.This shows what is wrong with the modern world. Some small minded people trying to rip you off.It probably cost them about 40 quid to make badly. and then they have the nerve to charge you for an oven proof knob...lets hope they like fake lives and spend their cheated money well

Review after 3 years of ownership.Positives first.-Being able to use the slow cooker to brown meat etc prior to cooking is a big plus.- Also it looks good.- Customer service (very responsive)- The recipes it comes with are goodDownsides.- Care and maintenance - reproofing is time-consuming and messy it does work but is a major bar to using this slow cooker if you don't have time.- Frequency of reproofing, I did my best to use this over 3 years to build a patina and never managed to maintain it. Either removing the patina whilst removing burnt-on food or using anything acidic e.g. tomatoes or wine in a recipe (not exactly exotic ingredients in slow cooking)- The heat only comes from the bottom and I found a lot of recipes caught on the bottom of the pan- Cleaning, obviously being cast iron the dishwasher is a no-no. So not convenient.- Price (relative to other slow cookers)- Finally there is no timer, which is pretty much standard on slow cookers these days.Conclusion - if you want to slow cook for convenience this is not a product to buy. Personally, I found it very frustrating to use and spent most of my time worrying about the inevitable clean up and reproof. I have since retired it.

I bought the slow cooker as a Christmas present for my daughter. She stipulated the make. It does look really robust compared to my bottom of the market slow cooker. I am sure she will give me more feedback on it.

Well made and works well. It is an investment. I chose it because it was cast iron and British made. Having tried several recipes, I can now conclude that it does not cook as slowly as all of the other slow cookers that I have owned. Not sure I could leave any recipe for 8 hours! The customer service from Netherton Foundry was excellent, There was a little issue with the recipe/instruction manual enclosed. This was quickly resolved.Having successfully slow roasted a chicken in it with no complaints from the family I feel that it can be highly recommended.

So excited to receive my slow cooker it's beautiful, haven't used it yet because the weather is just to hot but can't wait

Das Gerät ist einwandfrei, wurde jedoch mit einem englischen Stecker geliefert.
