Multi cookers can whip up curries, stews, risottos, pulled meats, rice, steamed veg, comfort food favourites and whatever the menu can manifest.
It steams. It sautés. It pressure cook. It slow cooks. The multi-cooker can practically do everything you need. Multi cookers are the one-pot wonders of the kitchen, bringing serious range to everyday dinners, home-cooking heroics and “how did you make that?” entertaining. Since 1977, Peter’s of Kensington has helped Australian homes cook smarter with versatile appliances from trusted brands.
Why buy a multi cooker?
Fewer cooking appliances, more dinner delight. Multi cookers are the ultimate all-in-one power move for the modern kitchen, rolling pressure cooking, slow cooking, sautéing, steaming and rice into one pot. They free up space and take the prep palaver out of everyday cooking. Set a slow cook and walk away or hit pressure mode when hungry hoards are hovering.
Your guide to choosing the right multi cooker
Choose multi cookers by capacity and functions. Pressure-focused models are the pick for fast, tender dinners with slow-cook and sauté back up; slow cook models suit stews, roasts and set-and-forget meals; air-fry-lid versions add crisping to the mix.
Around 3–5L suits solo cooks, couples and smaller households; 6–8L is better for family dinners, freezer-stocking Sundays and full-blown feasts. Check the functions and included accessories before you buy.
Complete your kitchen appliance set up
Dress up the dinner department with food processors that cover chopping, hand mixers and blenders that handle the speedy bits, deep fryers that take charge of crunch, and refrigerators that keep the ingredients on standby.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can you cook in a multi cooker?
What is the difference between a multi cooker and a pressure cooker?
A pressure cooker focuses purely on pressure cooking. Multi cookers also pressure cook but add steaming, slow-cooking, sautéing and, in some cases, rice and yoghurt-making functions to the recipe repertoire, making it a versatile all-rounder for any kitchen.
Are multi cookers worth it?
For busy households, absolutely. Multi cookers save space, cut down on pots and make hands-off cooking much easier.
