Sage the Fast Slow Pro

Best slow cooker and pressure cooker
Star rating: 4.5/5
- Pros: stylish appearance, impressive functions
- Cons: expensive
The Fast Slow may be expensive and have fewer functions than some multi-cookers, but it’s worth the investment for its great looks, searing, sautéing and reducing functions. It has a relatively small footprint for a multi-cooker and the build is solid – all features feel robust and well-built, from the strong handles to the hinged lid.
