There’s always a limitation to overcome and you end up resorting to a pan to cook part of the meal. I’ve used multicookers before but I’ve always found them a bit of a chore. But the formula is applicable to all kinds of meals.

In case you’re in need of inspiration and to ease you into this type of cooking, the Speedi comes with a recipe booklet which shows you how to put together a base + vegetable + protein Speedi meal and then gives in-depth cooking instructions for several options, including cod fillets with spiced quinoa or honey mustard glazed pork chops with colcannon mash.

The only issue I found with these more experimental uses is that it’s hard to move the top deck when it’s loaded with food to check on what’s underneath or to stir a dish. After that, I experimented with Speedi meals and found you can cook two separate dishes in the bottom half if you use oven-safe ramekins, so you can make a full English breakfast, or two separate vegetable dishes with your meat or fish.
