What about an electric pressure cooker? So much more versatile than the old stove top ones, and you can have a meal ready in minutes with virtually no heat generation at all, except for the steam release at the end of cooking.

Hi Lucky I have a Moulinex slow cooker that is really efficient. It has a small "footprint", doesn't take up much space and is easily cleaned (although it can't go in the dishwasher). It can be used on the hob for browning. I'm really pleased with it. It was comparatively expensive, but worth it. It isn't ceramic.

Our house gets very hot in this weather when the oven is on. I was wondering if I cooked in a crockpot on hot days ,would it give out less heat or would that not be the case as you have to have it onfor such a long time.
Also best slo cooker or crockpot. Mostly 2 of us but occasionally more. Needs to be easily cleaned thanks
