1.5L Adesso “Baby” Slow Cooker Review
When something is this good – you might need more than one 😉
That’s why I need two of the Adesso 1.5L “baby” slow cookers in my sizable slow cooker collection!
Here’s my ‘baby’ on it’s way home from the shops 😉 >>
We call them baby slow cookers because they are small… but don’t let their size fool you – they are so useful!
Here’s why ….
I use mine ALL the time for side dishes. The small size is perfect vegetables or potato bake or rice or others side dishes to our main dishes in the bigger slow cookers. And one side is never enough!
They are also the perfect size for desserts if you have a sweet tooth
They have their own recipe category on the website (1.5L recipes) so you have a collection of recipes just to fit this sized cooker
Having more than one is also a great way to do two versions of the one dinner (or two dinners) for different tastes at once … eg a spicier version for adults and milder for kids
Great size for small households, singles, couples or those travelling with limited space/weight options in caravans etc
They are only $20 from Woolworths supermarkets so very affordable
– Perfectly petite for small slow cooked meals
– Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning
– Removable ceramic pot
– Glass lid with handle
– Low, High & Warm cooking settings
– Power light indicator
– 1.5L capacity
– Easy grip handles for safe serving
– Woolworths money back guarantee
Thanks so much for the info
Also bought my newbie this am ..
I didn’t strap in – 😘- but I did place carefully on the back seat ( country town – low risk ) while the rest of groceries went in the boot )
I’m normally a – think it need it want it girl 🤪🧐
So have put the bacon chicken one in the little one on 4 hours high – but after 3 have turned back to low .
Thanks for ALL your inspiration
All good so far !!
Yes, this is a real little beauty! I got rid of my larger, family-sized slow cooker that wasn’t getting any use because there’s only me to cater for, and when I saw the Adesso 1.5 litre slow cooker I just had to get it. And it’s marvellous!!!!!!! Highly recommended.
Works fine but over cooks on high meat chicken turns mushy haven’t tried low yet any helpful tips would be fine
If you find high cooks too fast/hot use low or reduce cooking times 🙂
I have had one of these, loved it, gave it to a friend who was single. I have been desperately searching for another baby slow cooker and have asked every week for the last 6 weeks at my local woollies, hopefully this week will be the winner.
On line says unavailable, so I hope that they haven’t stopped making them
I searched for about 6mnths and someone on this site advised to Facebook Woolworths,. They replied and found a store near me. I was then able to buy one and it’s great.
Ring Woolies and they will get it in store for you. They did this for me. Now there are plenty on shelf at my local supermarket
I use mine all the time for things like Japanese curry, it’s just the right size for the two of us with leftovers for my brother.
Does anyone know where to buy a “Baby S.Cooker” in New Zealand please? I haven’t been able to find one – not even Countdown Supermarkets!
Trish, I bought all 4 of my baby slow cookers from Countdown within the last month. Not sure where you are but I’m in CHCH. I bought 2 for $20 each then the next day they were on special for $16. (check their website from time to time). My local Countdown had sold out but when I went back the following week they had more for the special price so I got another 2. I love them but I find they cook “hot”
Hi Maz,
I’ve been checking at our Countdown (Hastings – N.Is) with no luck yet. Thanks for your info., I’ll keep a look out. 🤞🤞🤞
I love my baby slow cooker for making pot pourri . The smell is fabulous and spreads throughout the house. You leave the lid off and need to keep the water topped up. A few faves include; lemons quartered, sprigs of rosemary; and whole cloves. Or cinnamon sticks and cloves. Beautiful. Gayle
This is great – very helpful thank you!
I would like to put the ceramic part in my convection oven to brown off the bread topping of a beef casserole.
Instructions just say do not use in microwave so is it possible to use the pot alone in the convection oven?
It is the best little cooker

No this bowl is not oven proof
hello,
i inherited the 1.5 ltr. Adesso slow cooker so i don’t have the original instruction booklet (i presume it had one)
i have no idea of how to use it as i have never used one before. 😳
i would like to cook rice in it, would anyone be able to tell me how❓❓
thanks in advance
Check out our CATEGORY section of our recipe page in the rice category from the drop down category menu 🙂
thanks pauline, i will try it out sometime this week.
one more question —> what are the manufacturer’s Temperatures for – LOW – HIGH – KEEP WARM❓❓
I’m not aware of their exact degree settings 🙂

What is the best Everyday used recipes book for the BABY Adesso Slow Cooker in Australia please?
We dont have a book specific to this size but if you go to the recipe page of our website and change the CATEGORY drop down recipe menu to 1.5L you’ll find them there
This is the right size for melting wax to wax a bicycle chain.
Husband is a shift worker and eats and goes to bed early. So I cook our meal : feed him and pop the rest in this small cooker until the rest of us are ready to
Eat. Keeps it fresh and warm and saves a second round of cooking.
