New Wave The 6-in-1 Multi Cooker 6L

Such a good all in one cooker. We love the deep fry functionality and the slow cooker best. I've already thrown out my old rice cooker also. I like that it's so small, as my kitchen is tiny. It doesn't take up space for such a great appliance!!!

Replaced another electric PC with the New Wave and use it several times a week. It works perfectly fine so I have no complaints. Yes the instructions are a bit dodgy and the lid assembly a little finicky but it all works, and works well. Haven't used the slow cooker function yet as I much prefer pressure cooking.

I have been raving about it to my friends. I'm really pleased I made this purchase and it was not easy given I already own a lot of kitchen appliances that I hardly use. I wanted to be sure it'd be worth it and it is. I've used most functions except the deep fryer - which is the one thing I don't own - however I thought it would be handy. I don't deep fry and never have but I did think that this will probably do a decent job for the very odd time I might use it. The rice and slow cooker functions are great but the pressure cooker is fantastic! I now make many of my slow cooked meals as pressure cooked ones - so much quicker and the meat is so tender and juicy and the flavour wonderful. All in a fraction of the time. It takes two extra minutes to just make sure you learn the settings etc but don't be scared of pressure cooking - it will change your cooking especially if you've a family to feed after work. As per the other reviews the instruction book is poor which annoys me because it wouldn't take that much to improve it or put improved instructions on the web.

So far I've used it to cook a risotto, bolognaise sauce, a casserole and deep fry calamari, and have been happy with the outcome. My only 2 gripes are that the instructions are hard to understand so it's a bit trial an error. Also, I've noticed that the liquid doesn't thicken as much as I want so maybe I need to put it on for longer. Overall, I like this appliance.

I have used this amazing pressure cooker everynight for the past month. It took a while to get the hang of the different functions but now I can get rid of appliances that I no longer need like the rice cooker and crock pot.

I have had the 6 in 1 for 2 weeks and have tried 5 of the 6 functions all work exactly as I expected and all in in 1 appliance. What a great space saver.

I read the reviews and was soooo excited. Tried 3 of the 6 and asked for my money back, not one of them functioned correctly. I commend Kitchenware Direct for their professional service but I wouldn't waste your money on this product.

This will be a gift. It looks so good, though, and seems to offer the options I am looking for, might have to buy another for myself. The option of having all those other otions are what interest me, instead of multi appliances in the kitchen cupboard.

Only had the 6 in 1 for a few weeks now and am absolutely in love with it. Have used the pressure cooker, steamer, slow cooking and frying function and am so happy with it. Family's favourite fruity beef casserole normally takes around 2 hours but with the pressure cooker it was cooked in 25 mins - and the meat just melted in your mouth - I didn't think I could improve on the original recipe. The ultimate test for me was my bolognaise sauce (for lasagna). It normally takes me around 2 - 3 hours of simmering in a large 14 litre pot. I filled the pressure cooker with all the ingredients (probably about 5 litres) and pressed 30 mins. The taste was the same, if not a little richer, than my 2 - 3 hour saga. Also made my usual 25 minute pumpkin & chicken risotto - it only took 7 minutes and the taste, according to the rest of the family was better than other "cook top" version. I'm Italian and really into my food and was a little sceptical about all the fuss but it's all true. Manual missing a lot of detail as it's a little out of date but the help desk number in the manual will fill in the gaps for you.

Not happy,sent it back Very flimsy basket, not suitable for anyone with weak hands.

Received the product about two weeks ago. Love it! Have only really used the high pressure plus browning functions so far (I purchased it specifically as a high pressure cooker - the other features are just bonuses). Have made massaman curry, pork roast, rice pudding, risottos etc. Have also used the delayed start function. Only downside is that instruction booklet is not very clear, but the New Wave customer support was excellent on the two occasions I called (once about how to set the timer, the other to confirm maximum time limit for high pressure cooking). As this is the first pressure cooker I have owned, I do not know how it compares to others but I am very happy with it.

I absolultely love this cooker - great rice, the pressure cooker is amazing (haven't used before). As a busy working mum I can get great meals out quickly. The slow cooker makes terrific beef/lamb pie filling which is a winner in our house in winter. I've gotten rid of 4 appliances and replaced with this and very happy so far.

I purchased this product in the hope of replacing my stove-top pressure cooker (unusable after 20 years due to having an induction stove). The pressure cooking function of this device is inadequate for my purposes, since it takes nearly as long to cook with it, as a regular stove-top pot. An oxtail stew which takes 3.5h in an ordinary pot was still too tough after 1.5h in this device (a time usually perfect using the stove-top cooker). It seems like the pressure and temperature on the High Pressure setting are just too low, not to mention the silly limit of 40mins cooking time, which requires resetting to continue. The first thing I tried to make after getting this gadget was some french fried potatoes, using the deep fryer function. They came out all soggy and oily, even after frying until they were looking nearly burnt. The user manual mentions making sure that the oil temperature was high enough, but there is no setting or indication for this on the machine. Using a thermometer, I discovered later that it takes an incredible 40mins for the oil to reach the recommended frying temperature (from room temp), and there is nothing on the unit to indicate that this has been achieved. To me this is another indication of an under-spec heating system, and a user interface designed by someone who does not cook. The local NewWave rep has failed to get back to me with a response to my issues in 2 weeks now. I will force myself to try the Slow Cook function soon, but I have lost my enthusiasm and motivation for this unit. I would not recommend it to anyone who actually likes cooking or good food.

I bought the 5 in 1 a year or so ago & I absolutely love it. So when I saw they had brought out a 6 in 1, I had to upgrade! I use this cooker a lot and it is great to be able to fry off food in the one pot then pressure/slow cook it. Highly recommend this appliance and also the Kitchenware Direct service, item was posted the next day and then received it the day after that.

Have used the Multi Cooker twice and am very impressed. Browned the meat and onions, add in the ingredients switch onto slow cooker and a superb curry was created. One pot cooking at its very best! Now have more room in our cupboards as have ditched the rice cooker, the slow cooker, the deep fryer replaced by one great piece of equipment.

Bought this after two friends raved about the 5 - in 1 cooker. Have not tried the deep fryer yet but have given the other functions a good going over - am most impressed with the penne recipe where you can brown the bacon, garlic and onion, then add the passata and then the pasta and then cook it and then enjoy! Seriously, only using one pot instead of the frypan and a saucepan for boiling the pasta is fantastic. Cooks rice beautifully too and the curry made from scratch using the pressure cooker was not only tasty and melting but short time it took to cook was a huge bonus. Only complaint I have so far is the size of the inner bowl, wish it was a bit bigger but there again, I have still to find it a home in my kitchen and it is big enough!!

Purchased this after reading all the fabulous reviews about the 5 in 1 - very happy I did - used the Pressure Cooker function last night and had a beautiful Beef Goulash in 40 mins instead of 2 1/2 hours! Highly recommend this product!
