JML Go Chef Multi Cooker - 5L 8 in 1 Electric Slow Cooker Pot, Roast, Slow Cook, Steam, Poach, Fry, Boil, Bake and Fondue - Easy to Use, Non Stick - Great Rice Cooker and Deep Fat Fryer

I found this ideal when cooking a few dishes at once; making soup and rice etc. Decent heat up time and decent size. I use it a lot so getting my moneys worth. Super easy to use and doesn't make up a lot of room

We are still to try it but have recently successfully used another

I ordered one of these in February 2023. It worked OK until early October when it suddenly blew the main switch and stopped working. As it was less than a year old I reported it to Amazon. I got a reply from JML via Amazon asking me to return it for a replacement - which arrived in about 10 days. Unfortunately this one did not work at all! I performed the instruction re first switching it on to a low heat to burn off any residual chemical which may smell and smoke a bit - which it did. When I the tried to cook my meal - turning it to 200 it failed to heat up - got slightly warm then its lights went out - but at least it didn't blow the fuses this time. I contacted JML again via Amazon and they asked me to return it for a replacement.I replied that I had lost all confidence in this product and did not want a replacement. They offered me a credit note for the full price. I assumed this would go to Amazon and be applied to my Amazon account but I was told this was not the case - the credit note was from JML valid for six months. No cash refund, no refund through Amazon refund by goods from JML direct only. This NOT ACCEPTABLE - I do not require any item that JML sell so I am £99.99 OUT OF POCKET . I feel cheated - I paid Amazon, not JML the refund should come the same way. I don't mind a credit note/gift card from Amazon - I will soon spend that but one from JML is useless to me.

Pros:It's super versatile with 8 cooking functions which is awesome for someone like me with limited kitchen space.The controls are straightforward; I can set it and forget it, which is perfect for my busy lifestyle.I love how the non-stick surface makes cleaning up after cooking a breeze, especially since I hate scrubbing pots.The 5L capacity means I can cook for the whole family or prep meals for the week, and the racks give me options to cook different things at once.Cons:It's not the best at everything it does; my roasts came out uneven, and deep frying was underwhelming.The heat isn't evenly distributed, so I have to keep an eye on my food more than I'd like.It takes up a lot of space on my counter, which is a bit of a pain when my kitchen is already cramped.Overall:This cooker is a handy all-in-one for my small kitchen, but I'm not sold on how well it performs across all its advertised functions. I might consider specialized equipment if I need consistent results. It's good for versatility, but there are definitely some trade-offs

Dear Sir/Madam my go chef is very good thank you for my go chef.

I had a Pro-Chef before that was like a bread maker to use - timers, different programmes to set and a hinged lid. Although it was quite good I also found it hard to keep the lid clean and cleaning in general. With the Go Chef 8 the lid is easy to clean although I clean it from the sides as I found water leaked into the centre so I don't dip the whole lid in water. It is very easy to clean the lid. The body is easily wiped down and food doesn't drop on the sides so a quick wipe is all thats needed. The cooking part is brilliant and with it being wide it is easy to stir fry etc. Any marks are easily cleaned off with a bit of bi-carb and a damp cloth. You can change the temperature settings at any time like on the cooker. I cook pasta meals all in one pot - brilliant. I cook egg and bacon, fried bread etc - if you add the egg at the last moment and put the lid back on you have a perfect fried egg and the steam has cooked the top. I cook stews, potatoes and veg can then be added to the rack on top. I also add dumplings to stews for the last 20 minutes for perfect dumplings. I heaven't tried cooking a joint on the lower rack but as I have a halagen oven I prefer to cook joints in that.I can now report that I find the Go-Chef perfect for our needs and in fact I closed down the top of my oven and only use the go-chef. I even boil potatoes and veg in it. As I love love trying gadgets, I have loved my new toy.

It took some getting used to, but with the help of a cookbook I was getting there. The biggest problem was that it stopped working after just 3 weeks use! Waiting to hear from JML as to if they are going to refund or replace

My goodness, it can do almost anything. I'm still trying to work out if it can cure cancer and fill the dishwasher on it's own.It does roasts, soups, and sauces, it fries, steams and bakes. I've made gorgeous bolognese sauces, meatballs in pomodoro sauce, roasted a chicken, done a full fry up, made delicious chicken stock, accidentally left a stew on all night without it being a dried up mush in the morning and steamed quite tasty veggies (only once, in a half-hearted attempt to be healthy).It is very easy to clean - I leave the removable "pot" full of boiling water to soak, come back 15 minutes later, clean it with a sponge and soapy water (no scrubbing required!) and voila, good as new. The smart plastic "shell" is also easy to clean with no fiddly buttons to try and clean round.If I had one small criticism, it would be that the timer only lasts 2 hours. It's not that big a deal; I just either put it on very low overnight and set an alarm on my phone to remind me to turn it off or use a plug in timer.Every household should have one of these - you literally cannot go wrong with it. It's a "one hit wonder", meaning you throw everything in in one hit, leave it to do it's thing and come back to a delicious stew, rich bolognese sauce, perfectly done meatballs or a crispy fry up.Om nom nom. JML have absolutely got it right!
