Netherton Foundry Kitchen Companion

Definitely looks the business and feels as if it was hewn from old cannons off HMS Victory. Impressive bit of kitchen equipment to leave around place if you're entertaining which we do once a year. It cooks slowly which means it fulfills it's design criteria although the thermostat control, albeit very rustic in appearance, operates a bit 'hit & miss' and so driving the thing is all 'seat of the pants' in reality. In a world that's always in a hurry I suppose a slow-cooker is the equivalent of a rocking chair and this is a nice one....slow-cooker that is, not a rocking chair. On a final note I find giving things a 'star-rating' somewhat provocative. I gave this item 4 stars, anything less and you start to feel an idiot for buying it in the first place and who wants to wave that banner in a public place!
