Salter's 6.5L pot is about maximising capacity per pound. It's a large cooker suited to batch cooking, freezer-filling and feeding a crowd, with a removable ceramic pot, tempered glass lid and a simple three-setting dial. Like most budget large pots it's manual only, so there's no timer or auto keep-warm, and the finish and even-heat performance don't quite match the pricier options higher up this list. Note that specific model numbers vary by retailer and year, so check the capacity and settings before buying. For occasional big cook-ups, or households that want plenty of room without spending much, it's a practical, affordable workhorse.
The good & the bad
Pros
- Large 6.5L capacity for the price
- Removable ceramic pot and glass lid are easy to clean
- Good for batch cooking and freezing ahead
Cons
- Manual dial only, with no timer or programmability
- Heating and finish are a step behind premium rivals
