hi everyone I'm Megan Willerton for seenin appliances and this is the Breville slow cooker with easy sear the first thing I noticed about this slow cooker was its design I really love it it's minimal it's sleek it looks a lot nicer and more high-end than pretty much any other slow cooker I've ever seen so I kind of had high expectations for it but ultimately it really lacks a lot of the features that I think make a slow cooker great it doesn't have a warm mode it doesn't have a timer basically you're left to your own devices which is defeating the purpose of a slow cooker so let's take a look at the display it has off low high and dual basically duel starts on high mode and it moves to low mode after two hours I'm not exactly sure why you need that so it kind of seems superfluous especially when you could use that space for a warm mode or a timer see and that's the thing there's not even a timer on this so there's no way to say I want to cook this on low for 6 hours you just have to come and switch it off yourself and that's the other thing if you have a recipe that does say cook this on low for 6 hours this Breville is going to overcook your food it tends to cook faster than other slow cookers and to me that's kind of a problem because you want them to be reliable you want them to be predictable you want to be able to say the recipe says cook on high for this long or on low for this long but this one really doesn't you're gonna end up with something that's overcooked you're gonna have to do a lot of tweaking with this Breville this frivolous law cooker is one $29.99 which is double the price of the hamilton beach one i reviewed but half the performance I think Breville probably tried to be a little too cool with a slow cooker and forgot a lot of the basics that make slow cookers great to begin with thanks for watching I'm Meghan Willerton for siient appliances this has been a review of the Breville slow cooker with easy seer
