Imagine if there was one appliance that could help you create a bunch of different dishes throughout the workweek. While many of us have the best intentions to create a variety of satisfying meals from Monday through Friday, the fact of the matter is most of us just don't have the time to do that; we find a few staple meals that are quick and easy... and very predictable.
Here's the remedy to dietary monotony: it's called the The 5 in 1 Multicooker. The one unit handles the workload of a pressure cooker, slow cooker, electric pan/pot, soup/rice cooker and steamer.
On Monday night, use the pressure cooker feature to whip up a whole chicken in less than a half hour or something like red beans and rice in 10-15 minutes. On Tuesday, take some of that leftover chicken and pair it with rice or make a soup, using the---you guessed it---soup or rice cooking feature. On Wednesday morning you might wake up thinking that a stew or roast would be a nice change, so you use the 5 in 1 in its slow cooker capacity: throw in your meat, veggies and fluids in the morning and be greeted with a hot meal at workday's end.
Thursday night comes and you want something light. Steamed prawns and vegetables can be whipped up quickly with this appliance. Come Friday night you might be ready for something substantial and quick, using the electric pot... maybe steak and potatoes before (or after) a week-ending catch-up with your friends.
You get the picture, though: a variety of meals with one appliance that'll look great sitting on your countertop, which means you save even more time by not having to dig it out of the cupboard.
It's time to make things a bit easier for yourself.
Additional Features: - Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Electric Pan/Pot, Soup/Rice Cooker & Steamer - High pressure for fast cooking - Low pressure for improved vitamin retention - Non stick removable cooking bowl - Automatic keep warm function - Count down timer - 7 safety protection measures including patented locking system - Stainless steel steam basket - Detachable cord - Stainless steel finish - 160ml gauging cup - Rice serving paddle
New Wave Kitchen Appliances aim to place the world's most innovative products in your hands. While THE Pizza Maker put them on the map six years ago, their range of electrical goods has expanded, allowing you to use some the marketplace's most advanced goods to create healthy meals for your family.
I received my 5-in-1 cooker a couple of days and ago and last night made lamb shanks with the pressure cooker. AMAZING! I got home around 5pm and by 6pm we were sitting at the dinner table eating delicious lamb shanks - the meat falling off the bone. And the best thing? My fussy 3 year old totally tucked in! I do find the instructions a little lacking in specifics but once you start cooking it's really straight forward. I did have a couple of queries regarding the looseness of the valve but both New Wave and Kitchenware Direct answered them quickly and without fuss. I'm making risotto tonight and I've found a great pressure cooking blog with some more great recipes. Second big purchase from Kitchenware Direct and the service is great again.

How can you go wrong ?
Slow cooker, pressure cooker, delay and timer function even lets you brown things first.
22cm inner is a bit small for larger things but it's quite deep.
Wish it was 8l rather than 6l.

Massive time saver.
Read the reviews, and took a chance. So glad I did as it has saved me so much time. It is actually faster to use this to whip up a spag-bol, than drive and get take away! I have used every function, and all perform as described.
If you are worried about customer service...don't be. The first machine I received had a faulty thermostat- I dealt directly with NW and they had a courier collect the product for repair, and returned the product to my door again.
When it failed again, I was immediately sent a brand new one with a complimentary spare stainless insert (the original had the teflon dish) and given a million apologies. They happily replaced it as they stand by the quality of their product. I do believe that original unit failure was "just one of those things" and not a product quality issue.
The second unit I received is used many times a week, and has been going strong for over a year now. I would be lost without it!
Do yourself a favour, and buy one.

great product
Hi there, we had this product recommended to us by some friends who love to cook - particularly the husband whom is now retired. So we bought it on the strength of his comments on the product. We have used it for only the slow cooking and pressure cooking methods but are extrememly happy with those. We hadn't used a pressure cooker for yer and this aspect of it is fantastic - food is moist, tender and you don't have to think about dinner in the mroning. Love it.

5 in 1 Newwave Multicooker
This one appliance has totally revoluntionised my life. I have never owned a pressure cooker before and remember vaguely the old stove top one my mother had that 'blew up' and ended with the nights dinner on the ceiling. After my 1st use with the 5 in 1 multicooker I was sold and have no worries this will erupt the nights dinner all over the kitchen. It never leaves the kitchen counter because it is constantly in use. I have way more time to relax after I come home after a hard day because it does all the hard work for me. I can now have a beautiful traditionally slow cooked meal ready in just minutes. Just magic - like a chef in the kitchen Thanks Kitchenware Direct and Newwave

My new favourite appliance!
I have only had this for a few weeks, but can't stop using it. While not being too familiar with all these appliances I wasn't sure what to get then I saw this. All the functions are so easy to use and have given great results. Never thought I would be able to make such lovely stews so easily. I can't recommend it enough!

Loving my new purchase
I recently purchased the NewWave multi cooker, and I love it. Great capacity for feeding a family. Easy to use, it almost never goes back in the cupboard - especially this time of year. Best soup ever!! Steak & kidney to die for.
I'm having a little technical issue, that I need to read the book to work out. The accompanying book leaves a little to be desired, apart from that I am so happy with my purchase.

Fantastic cooker, I have used the Browning, Slow Cooking, Pressure Cooking and Soup functions on this little beauty and have only praise to give. I have never before tried to tackle a Risotto and now I have made 2 *perfect* creations with ease. Excited to say I have Steaming delights ahead of me.

Best appliance ever. Great customer service.
I am a chef by trade and love this cooker. My wife especially likes that it make all the cooking functions so easy. It is all programmable and the fact that it looks after itself and isn’t going to “explode” on her is very reassuring. Safer and easier to use than a "Standard" stove top pressure cooker. Self regulates pressure and temperature. When it’s finished cooking it keeps your food warm until you are ready to eat it.
This now has a permanent position on our kitchen bench. Easy to use, Easy to clean and best of all is a fantastic cooker. We have made so many different things in this since buying it.
Tender Osso bucco and Lamb shanks that fall off the bone in 30mins!!! Tender as if cooked for 4 hours. Pot roasts and risottos so easy! I was initially concerned that I may not be able to fit much into this cooker but it has quite a big capacity. It could feed a large family no problem.
Just as good as this product is the fantastic customer service I have received since buying it. The first one we bought was damaged in the post. The customer service team went to great efforts to get us a replacement cooker express posted out to me on the same day. I was very impressed!

AMAZING
I just finally used this multi-cooker after receiving it over a month ago, and I am now wondering what took me so long to use it. It is SO great. I know it will be used weekly if not more often. I'll be surprised if I ever actually put it away.

Never Put Away
After watching comments for over a year finally decided to buy. Very glad I did. Osso Bucco fantastic and am trying other modes of cooking. I just have to say note when depressurising that the release valve notch is pointing in right direction (ie up) or else!!

Most used appliance in my kitchen
I got this for my birthday last year and I absolutely love it! I poach whole chicken, make the easiest and yummiest risotto, stews, curries, butter chicken, bolognese, soup, rice pudding etc in it. Once you get the hang of timings, I just cook most things in my pressure cooker to save time.

Brilliant!
The multicooker has earned a place as one of my favourite cooking methods - super-quick risotto, melt-in-the mouth duck ragu, hearty minestrone, and a great thai curry are just some of the simple and modern recipes included in the manual. My only suggested improvement would be the option of buying additional removable cooking bowls to enable hassle-free multiple item cooking (eg: curry in one pot, rice in another, and steamed veg in a third).
Most highly recommended!

Lived up to expectations
Has been too hot to unpack the new multi-cooker until now, I have been waiting to make risotto bolognese in it and was not disappointed, it was delicious and pressure cooked in under ten minutes. I did struggle to understand how to seal the lid properly (the instructions are a bit disorganised and sometimes contradict themselves) but I figured it out in the end. Currently planning duck ragu for tonight.

Don't be tempted by cheap alternatives
I stupidly bought a multi cooker that seemed a bargain and it is an imitation copy of this product i know is a good one (mine is a rip off and has unintelligible instructions) - I should have known better as a long time Kitchenware direct customer and stuck with an appliance that is value for money

Best Multi Cooker on the Market
What an amazing piece of equipment, we are so impressed with the Multi-Cooker... We can happily now go for a family bike ride whilst dinner is cooking and boy does it cook up a storm. The product is very easy to use, now we just need to stock up on some more recipe books... Kids love the rice out of it, and lamb shanks to die for... Happy cooking.

Great Multi-Cooker
Does what it tells you it will do!
I've used the slow cooker and pressure cooker (using the saute function too) and they have worked fine. The instructions can be a little confusing, but it's easy enough to use the product.
Wish there were more recipes for electric pressure cookers though!

I am really impressed with this item. It cooks rice far better than my previous cooker, steams and pressure cooks and the the browning function uses enough heat to brown properly. It has replaced by rice cooker, steamer and pressure cooker. Fantastic..

Absolutely no regrets buying this cooker. Has changed my cooking style for the better. Uses much less power than my microwave and cooks faster too. I have previously used an ordinary slow cooker, but slow cooking with this is much better, not sure why, but everything turns out better tasting. Does all that it claims and does it well!

Love it!! A friend recommended it to me and I'm so happy she did. Very helpful for any Mum. I also found the manuel wasn't that great but a quick phone call to Kitchen direct help line and I was on my way. Used it three different ways in the first week.. So easy even my husband had a go at using it.

Great 5 in 1 cooker
Typical busy household, we both work irregular hours and have bad eating habits. This appliance has saved our health, saved us money (take away ain't as cheap as it used to be) and makes even the cheapest cuts of meat taste delicious. Whether we use the slow cooker or pressure cooker function we are set for the next 2-3 days. Have so far made a beef goulash, a chicken massamun curry and a chicken casserole and we've had the thing for 2 weeks. The large capacity is also awesome. Well done on a great product

Made risotto never made it before what a success, everyone was very impressed.

Can't live without it!
This is by far the best kitchen appliance I have ever purchased. Because of its versatility, I have been more encouraged to experiment with my cooking which I was always a bit scared to do in the past. In the past few weeks, I have made so many new delicious recipes in the fraction of a time that I normally would because of the pressure cooker. The rice cooker produces gorgeous rice and the browning function is a real washing up time saver. As an added bonus, I have managed to de-clutter my kitchen cupboards with this all in one genius appliance!

Pretty cool so far
Have used the Soup function, pressure cook and slow cook, all turned out good especially slow cook.
NOTE: be careful to let the preasure out straight after the pressure cook or soup function as it continues cooking while the preasure is held even when it has switched to warm. I was just a tad disapointed that the rice cooking function isnt automatic like dedicated rice cookers (you have to work out the time) but not to much bother and you can cook white rice in minutes if you use pressure cooking function.

I love this! Fast, easy, healthy cooking.

Life-changing
Awesome appliance, made risotto in 7 minutes that was absolutely perfect, better than my manual 30-minute efforts and even better than the restaurant! Also does lamb shanks very well in very little time at all.
My first unit was faulty: the pressure valve wasn't aligned so the pressure pin couldn't come up, and the knob on the top was excessively wobbly. This caused low and high pressure cooking functions to fail.
Took 2.5 weeks to get a replacement, the pin is ok on this one and the knob a bit better. However the first pressure cooking attempt failed, and then I realised that the wobbly knob has to be tilted toward you, not away from you - otherwise it doesn't seal. This isn't mentioned in the manual anywhere and caused a lot of frustration.
Overall a good appliance that is easy to use, easy to clean and just a bit harder than necessary to get started with. Still, highly recommended!

Just have to say this style of cooking is new to me. Have never used a Slow/Pressure Cooker before and was a bit daunted by the whole thing. How things change, the 5-in-1 concept is a great idea, followed the instructions and haven't looked back. Great product for the novice, looking forward to cooking more great recipes.

The Best
I've been using my 5-in-1 Multi Cooker since the day it first arrived with outstanding results! I bought it for the 'slow-cook function' in particular. I'm an early riser anyway.... so I do all my browning, load it up and press start!
While at work I enjoy the delicious smugness of knowing that a wonderful meal is cooking, ready to be served as my family gets home at end of day.... and if I get the timing right (and I do) it won't even need reheating!
It's just the best money I've ever spent.... not a fan of 'appliances' as such (except for the indispensable Bamix) but THIS MACHINE is a winner, absolutely!
It's a good idea to try all recipes in the manual first and then you can do your own favourites.... that way you get to know that you need a lot less liquid in most meals you prepare this way.... results are fantastic..... meat just falls apart whether you've used SLOW COOK or PRESSURE..... our dinner knives have nothing to do!!! I'm now enjoying our mediterranean favourites like 'Stifado' and 'Tas Kebab'.
You made a great decision Andrew, load it up and let it amaze you! There are no issues with this beauty!
Our son, who is a 20-year old concreter and loves to maintain a ripped physique loves the steamer funtion... all the steamed chicken fillet and brocolli he can handle for all his micro meals throughout the day!

5 in 1 Cooker
This arrived very quickly in the mail. We have slow cooked roast lamb, pressure cooked duck and slow cooked an amazing Indian Curry so far. Instructions are easy to follow and the unit is easy to clean. The dial on the top to change from pressure cooking to slow cooking is a bit strange until you get used to using it. Overall a fantastic addition to our collection of cooking gadgets.

I found out about this site from a friend and ordered this pot straight away after she gave me the lamb shanks she'd made in it. I made a special place for the 5-in-1 in my storage cupboard and it has hardly been in there. I've used every function now I think and all good. I intend to try some of the recipes but the instruction book is good enough that I can adapt the instructions to my fridge contents. Good fun, fantastic soup and I'm learning lots. If it would bake cookies and walk my dog my life would be complete!

I have never used a pressure cooker but do a lot of slow cooking so i bought this appliance to combine the 2. I am so glad I did as pressure cooking is an awesome way to have a melt in the mouth casserole in 25 minutes! I love the browning function too, saves more washing up!!

As a self confessed appliance addict, I promised myself that I wouldn't buy any more appliances (as my cupboard space wouldn't allow it anyway), but I am glad I caved on this one! Soups, casseroles and rice dishes are so quick and easy with this little workhorse, and easy to clean too - I even created more cupboard space by throwing out 3 appliances that it replaced. More appliance orders on the way Kitchenware Direct!

Great purchase.
Came to Kitchen Direct via Julie White Blog and Weigh it Up. That recommendation gave me the confidence to purchase from Kitchenware Direct. Delivery was very prompt. I am very happy with my purchase and have cooked a number of meals from the recipe book from the instruction manual. Every dish to date has been great and the family has enjoyed the meals. The pressure cooker is easy to use once you get use to the pressure release valve. If you are after a pressure cooker or are new to prssure cooking like I was then you should be comfortabe buying this 5 in 1 Multi Coooker.

Just brilliant. I cooked the best massaman curry on the weekend. I have always been reluctant with curries and stews as the meat is never as tender as when you purchase a restaurant meal. Not any more, the meat fell apart and the vegies were delicious. Love being able to brown and then cook in the same pot. I was so happy with the product my friend was convinced and bought one for her glory box today! A very big thankyou to the lady at Kitchenware Direct that got an Australia Post Truck unpacked because I had put the wrong address on my order! Very happy with the product and the service.

This is an amazing product! I decided on the 5-in-1 after reading all the glowing reviews on this site and I have not been disappointed! Have only used it in pressure cook mode as I'm new to pressure cooking and have been keen to play around with this function - have cooked stews, chilli beans and a veggie soup. I love this new toy.

I have used this product now a couple of times as a pressure cooker and while the recipe's take a little adjusting as most are designed for a stovetop 15psi pressure cooker; I still think this is a great appliance to have in the kitchen; I am also replacing my slow cooker which is used 4 or 5 days a week this time of year.

I remember Mum's pressure cooker "going off" on the stove and have had a distrust of them ever since. I bought this cooker on the weight of the reviews, and am perfectly happy with its performance. It has a low pressure cooking setting, which I used to start with, and as I became more comfortable I increased to the high pressure setting. I can whip up a delicious stew in less than an hour that would otherwise take half a day.

good
Some of the functions haven't used yet. However, it's give me convinient and quick cook for the rice and soup. Feel great. Just the size is little bit too big for single person.

One Pot Stop
Fantastic product being able to do everything in the one pot and the cooking times are so quick. Received it within 2 days too which was fantastic.

5 in 1
Prompt delivery. I received the item on the next day. Unbelievable! It’s a very good item. I’ve tried slow cooking, pressure cooking, soups. The only issue I have is that lid doesn’t always seal properly and pressure escapes. I have to open the lid and close it again.

New to pressure cookers
Having never used a pressure cooker before, the whole process has been a bit of learning curve for me - but a good one. I had no idea that you could do in a pressure cooker what you can in a slow cooker in a quarter of the time!
My slow cooker was dying so in my search for a new one I came across this 5 in 1, and I definitely have no regrets. Have used the slow and pressure cooker functions and both turned out well (although my meat can end up a bit tasteless, albeit melt in the mouth tender - not sure what I'm do wrong here but will keep trying). Haven't tried the rice cooker option yet but that was a good selling point for me too.
I also feel that it is considerably easier to flash fry in a pan on the stove instead of using the 5 in 1's browning function. It's just quicker and easier (although it is one extra pan to wash...luckily it's my new scanpan so washing it is a breeze - yes I went on a little kitchenware spending spree!).
All in all I would totally recommend this product. I was wary about not knowing the brand, but so far it seems to be very good quality.

I'm a fan.
I have never used either a slow cooker or a pressure cooker before. I have to admit I was pretty swayed by the customer reviews, so I bought this 5 in 1. I've tried making risotto and curry on the pressure setting, with fantastic results. I've also tried the slow cook recipe in the booklet for bolognaise. It was ok, but not as good as I was expecting for 6 hours of cooking. So the recipes in the booklet need some tweaking, but the appliance itself is a fantastic investment.

This machine is saving me time in the kitchen! I am preparing stews in 45mins tops! The best thing is, while the food is cooking, I can be doing other stuff.

Multi cooker wonders
Hi I am absolutely in love with this multi cooker best ever purchase and worth every cent . Also a great time saving appliance. thanks

Fantastic
I was in need of a new pressure cooker - as my stove top one was old and unreliable, and I also wanted to buy a bigger slow cooker than my existing one. This cooker was out of stock when I first looked at it but it didnt take long to come back in stock.
It is definitely the best appliance I have ever bought. Within the first 48 hous of receiving it, I had made a 25 minute stew (browner and pressure cooker), a Massaman Beef curry (browner and slow cooker) with beans (steamer) and rice (rice cooker). Everything turned out perfectly.
An excellent product:)

Surprise Surprise
I was like all the other people out there thinking if I should buy this or not as it wasn't a brand name I was familiar with. I saw the good reviews but still hesitant until it was out of stock! I finally got hold of it and I was happy that it delivered its promises. The appliance is fairly well made. The brown function was good to use. I made good soup, casserole and rice. I find that the pot is easy to clean with the non stick surface. The only thing is when you release the steam valve be very careful as it releases quickly a fair bit of hot steam.

Fantastic appliance
I am a historic pressure cooker user (stovetop). I was looking for a slow cooker, but one which I could _brown/caramelise_ in the same pan. This appliance is great. Like so many other reviewers, I was concerned about never having heard the brandname, but this product is well thought out.
If you, like me, are an existing pressure cooker user, I have found the brown function a little frustrating as it is slower than hitting a pan hard with gas on the stovetop, it is more like an electric frypan. BUT I love the fact that it is set and forget with the pressure - you literally dial in the time and the appliance will get to pressure and THEN start timing, itself (compared to traditional pressure cookers where you have to listen for when it is steaming too much and reduce temp etc manually). Note also the pan has a non-stick coating.
Would thoroughly recommend this product, especially if you are a traditional slow cooker and been to intimidated to try a pressure cooker.

LOVE this machine!
I procrastinated a few months before buying this machine. I had wanted a pressure cooker for a while, and figured I would use the other features. Only had it a couple of weeks and have made soup, a stew, a curry and apricot chicken that turned out ssoooo good. Wish I had bought it earlier.
After browning meat for a beef curry though, Ii will just do in a frying pan before putting in machine. Just not quite enough surface area and heat.

Superb
I have always been wary of multi-function appliances, as they usually do each thing fairly poorly, so I gingerly hit "buy" on this one. I have since been amazed at how well it performs, with browning, slow and pressure cooking being my main uses. It is just fantastic and I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Need to be quick
I only have 7 minutes to write this review - because that is how long the Risotto I am making will take to cook in my new pressure cooker! I have had this 5-in-1 for only 2 weeks and already I don't know what we have done without it. The slow cooked shanks ready after work were delicious and I now have several casseroles in the freezer. This appliance is easy to use and clean and is of high quality. - HIGHLY recommended.

Could not be more simple to use !
The Multi-Cooker is well made and gives excellent cooking results. Have tried both pressure & slow cook methods with great success. Prefer using the pressure cooker as it so quick and must certainly save electricity.

5 in 1 cooker
A brilliant item and most favourite for me. Being able to brown the meat & veg in the same pot then slow or pressure cook it is brilliant. Pumpkin or Cauliflower soup in 20 mins or a slow cooked dinner. Best rice cooker I've found too and it's all kept warm once cooked. Too easy to clean as well. You're on a winner with this purchase & I luv mine.

I can see that this product will be working overtime
in my kitchen. Love it - even though I forgot about the keep warm function (first time I used it) and kept the osso bucco warm for an extra 3 hours - at least I found that it did indeed keep it warm and moist

we needed a new slower cooker and after looking decided on a multi cooker...i am still wondering why i have never owed a pressure cooker , for time stressed people it is a god send...silverside in 40 minutes, casseroles in 30 min , sausage casserole 7 min and bestest chicken herb and spinach rissoto in 7 minutes......and money saving , cheaper meat cuts and no need to buy takeaways as its quicker to cook than going to buy it... . oh and i have been cooking meat and some vegies in cooker and if we need more vegies etc put them in the microwave so not a lot of dishes......the best ever

I am so happy with my Multi Cooker. I really find the browning function brilliant, being able to truly do it all in one pot and so easy to clean after. It looks good as well, so I leave it on my benchtop all the time. Would also like to commend Kitchenwaredirect on their speedy delivery service.

I have had a great time experimenting with my new Multi cooker. I bought it more as a slow cooker but have found its the pressure cooker I have used the most so far. The brown and keep warm function are so handy. It really is one pot, super easy, set and forget cooking. Perfect for a busy time poor mum like me.

Best Buy
The 5-in-1 cooker is by far the best thing I have ever purchased. After months of disagreeing with my parter about weather to get a slow cooker or pressure cooker I finally found this wonderful machine and it is by far the best of both worlds plus more. We haven't cooked a meal on the stove since buying this product, everything comes out perfectly tender and delicious each and every time. We have made leek and potato soup with the soup function,the most tender fajita's with the pressure cooker and the slow cooker wow my butter chicken now just melts in your mouth. The brown function is a god send and our butcher bill has
halved since using the 5-in-1. I don't know how we lived without it.

19 minutes including prep time to cook up lamb, onion, fennel, potatoes with rosemary and white wine using the brown function and the pressure cooker. The lamb was tender and juicy and I wept over the yumminess of the potatos. A great device for busy, busy people who want home cooked food.

Perfect Slow Roast Christmas Lamb
A half leg of lamb for Christmas dinner was the first thing I tried in my new 5-in1 Multi Cooker, and the first time I used a slow cooker. I decided to take a risk cooking a significant part of a family meal because of all the great reviews. It was wonderful! Even people who didn't like lamb were converted. I cant wait to use all the other functions.

Great time saver
This is a great slow cooker having multiple functions so you can do it all in one pot. Meat is very tender and vegetables are so tasty! Only draw back is that the rice cooker function doesn't have an automatic stop function like my old rice cooker.

A great convenience
I love how versitile this appliance is - in fact it's retired my old rice-cooker and many of my saucepans. I use it pretty much every night.
My only problem has been the lid doesn't always seal, and pressure escapes from the side of the lid. It's just been a matter of re-opening the lid, and trying again for it to seal properly.

This is the most genius kitchen gadget I have ever bought. It is a slow cooker, a pressure cooker, a rice cooker, and a steamer all in one. You can do a delay start and it keeps it warm if you want to eat a bit later. I only wish I had bought this on Kitchen Warehouse Direct. I could have saved a heap!!! Great for winter meals!
