  • The All In One

    After reading the reviews from the other Mums, I had to get one for myself. This is really awesome because it replaces more than half of the appliances and gadgets that I have in my kitchen. With 8 cooking modes you’re sure to be able to cook everything in one place. I also love the convenience of the pre-set options which help make things super easy and consistent.

    My thermomix will always be my first true love in the kitchen but this is a close second! It’s cut my cooking time in half or less and the food tastes great, it’s easy to use, it’s husband and kid approved, it’s easy to clean. We have made all sorts of dishes and everything has been a success. The silverside was delish the other day.

    A hearty stew? Yum but I never have time to spend hours doing it properly, that was until I got this amazing machine! Within an hour, we had a hearty stew on the table. It was delicious, the meat was tender and falling apart. This has been a game changer for our family.

  • Chicken & Potato Curry in NO TIME

    The more I use my Crockpot, the more confident I’m getting at testing out new recipes. Tonight, I cooked a Chicken and Potato curry. This is my own recipe. Using the Crockpot Express Easy Release XL Pressure Multicooker made this already simple recipe even simpler.

    After chopping all the ingredients, I use the BROWN/SEAR function to cook the onion and brown the chicken slightly. Then I thew in 2 tins of diced tomatoes, ½ can of coconut milk and 4 tablespoons of a curry mix. The curry mix is a blend of different spices that my husband’s auntie put together.

    I put the lid on and selected the MEAT/STEW setting for 15 minutes and ensured the steam release dial was set to “Seal”. After the 15 minutes it was done, the chicken was just perfect and potatoes were soft. I actually think I could have cooked this in less time, but the MEAT/STEW setting only went down to 15 minutes. My husband was sure, the potatoes would be hard in the middle still, but I pleasantly proved him wrong.

    Dinner is served……..

  • Super Quick & Tasty Risotto

    Still loving my new Crockpot Express Easy Release XL Pressure Multicooker. Great that it comes with a recipe book, to help inspire. What caught my eye in the recipe book was the Vegetable Risotto. I love cooking risotto, but one of those meals that takes ages to cook, and time spent glued to the stovetop stirring and stirring.

    Because the Crosckpot is a multicooker, you cook everything in the one pot which certainty helps will less cleaning up. I used the recipe in the book, but tweaked it a little by adding some white wine and mushrooms. Whilst it didn’t exactly take 8 minutes to cook this meal all up, it did take far less time than cooking it my usually way.

    Took about 5 minutes to in the brown/sear setting of the crockpot to cook some of the ingredients and then 8 minutes once the rice and stock was added and you started the pressure cooking. BUT what excited me the most was the fact that I didn’t have to graduly add the stock and stir. Gamechanger!! Once the 8 minutes was up, you aloud everything to sit for a further 5 minutes and then it was done. All up you are really looking at less than 20 minutes cooking time, to have this tasty risotto served to your plate.

    My family was impressed and gobbled it up. Now what to exciting meal can I cook for my family next with my new kitchen friend, the Crockpot Express Easy Release XL Pressure Multicooker.

  • New best friend

    As someone who loves to cook but is also a time poor mum I don’t always have the opportunity to make meals that take longer than 30 mins. I’m genuinely stoked at how quickly I was able to make a dish like pulled beef without spending hours over a pot!
    The options on the face of the crockpot express XL pressure were clear with their intended function which makes it easy to use. This is my new best friend!

  • Sear, set, slow cook stroganoff

    It is so handy having an appliance that does everything in the one pot. Saves on using multiple pans and washing up. This huge 7.6 litre Crockpot was a time saver for me. Today I made my family of 5 a beef stroganoff. The searing/browning feature was great. I was able to brown the beef prior setting the Crockpot to 6 hours slow cooking. Just set and walk away. The outcome was a lusciously moist, rich sauce with tender beef that melts in your mouth. The design of the Crockpot is sturdy, strong, huge in size, fantastic for large families and so simple to use. Providing you remember to turn the Steam Release nozzle to open or closed, depending on the feature, you can’t go wrong. The Crockpot is quite easy to clean, too. The recipe booklet provides meal inspiration and the instruction manual is a handy straightforward reference as well. Crockpot Express…what’s next? Maybe I’ll try the Chocolate Lava Cake! Yum!

  • It’s love from me

    I love this so much I actually can’t stop cooking! So far we have made baked potatoes (baked to perfection in under 20 mins!), chili con carne, soup, lasagne and a variety of desserts too! I absolutely love how much time I can save and also that I have one pot to wash up at the end. It’s been a game changer for us. Healthy, delicious food on the table in a fraction of the time.

  • This is a game changer for our large family

    I am so surprised at how much I love my Crockpot express multicooker. It has saved me so much time already. Everything can be done in the one appliance. It’s so simple to use with really clever preprogrammed buttons. Food cooks in a fraction of the time it usually takes me and so far everything has been so delicious and cooked to perfection. I can highly recommend the 10 minute baked potatoes which are perfect for quick and easy meals. The kids also love the chocolate lava cake we made. So delicious.

  • The perfect appliance for families

    When I first received the crockpot I was so impressed by the quality of the appliance. It looked and felt like it was made with quality and the stainless steel cooking pot was a really good size. I’ve never used a pressure cooker before, but I’m converted. I made green curry using the recipe that comes with the crockpot. It was so easy to make, and best of all delicious. I like that you don’t need to use multiple pots and pans to cook one meal (so there’s less washing up). The crockpot does it all for you, and quickly too. Plus it’s really easy to wash up. I’ve also made rice in the pressure cooker and it comes out so fluffy. I can’t wait to make more meals and report back. I’d definitely recommend this appliance, it’s the perfect appliance for families.

  • Crockpot Pressure Multicooker does it all

    I’m Still loving the Crockpot Express Pressure Multicooker! The best part for me is the multifunction use. You can make truly one pot meals in minutes! I use the Sauté feature regularly either before or after pressure cooking. When Making fried rice, I cooked the rice and veg under pressure, then switched to the sauté setting to fry off the rice with the sauce.
    I’m also a big fan of the “set and forget” ability with this appliance. You can pop your ingredients in and turn it on pressure cooker or slow cooker, and go about your day while it does it’s job. At the end you take off the lid, give it a stir and serve up! Too easy.

  • Favourite kitchen appliance!

    I have never used a pressure cooker before so I was a little intimidated when I pulled the Crockpot Express Pressure Cooker out of its box! However, with a little help from the instruction guide and recipe book, I quickly realised how easy to use it is. This appliance is a game changer! The first recipe I attempted was a whole roast chicken. I used the sear function and pressure cooker function, and within 30 minutes the meat was so tender and falling off the bone. You can then make the gravy all in the same pot! So easy!
    My kids wanted to get involved so we also had a go at making Chocolate Lava Puddings. Again, they were so quick and easy, and the kids were SO happy with the result.
    This appliance has replaced my previous slow cooker, and is used on a daily basis. I would definitely recommend it to all my family and friends.

  • Game changing time saver

    I’ve used the Crockpot Express XL Pressure Multicooker 4 times a week since I received it. It’s currently my fave kitchen appliance! The multifunction setting means you can sauté veg / meat before pressure cooking which makes it a truly one-pot cooking experience. With 7 different pressure cooking settings you can press a single button and be done. So far I’ve made rice in 3 minutes, an 8 minute risotto, tender brisket and a 10 minute rice pudding. I absolutely recommend this for any time poor parents to get a hearty meal on the table for the family in 15 minutes.

    Usually when I make Pulled Pork, I’d put it in the slow cooker early morning to be ready for dinner. Today just 1 hour and it’s ready! Succulent and falling apart. So easy! I’ve also saved all the cooking juices and will make a Mexican inspired lentil soup tomorrow which will be as quick as 30 mins in my Crockie!

  • Essential to have in kitchen for all busy mums!

    The Crockpot Easy Release XL Pressure Multicooker is a game changer for every kitchen! I found making meals extremely easy and quick as the pressure cooker can cook nice meals in a shorter time frame.

    For example, I was able to cook beef stew in less than a hour compared to 6 hours in the slow cooker.

    It is also convenient and because there are so many functions in the pot, you can use one pot to do all your cooking. This means less pots used and therefore less washing!

    The functions are easy to use and the time you need to cook for is automatically set on the pot. You can manually change the pressure and time too!

  • Fast, functional, fabulous!

    This almighty 7.6 litre Crockpot Express is my saviour. With a large family, size is everything. What I loved most about the Crockpot was it’s simplicity to use. There are so many functions to accommodate every meal possible including desserts that you don’t need for any other kitchen appliance. I noticed that flavours in my meals were enhanced due to either the slow cooking or pressure cooking process. Meat was tender and juicy, too. I regularly make a chicken vegetable noodle soup but this time, using the Crockpot, it was the best it had ever been (and my husband and kids agreed). This was thanks to the searing and pressure cooking. And not only that, my soup was ready to serve, piping hot, in 30 minutes. I highly recommend Crockpot Express. I’ve been very impressed. Cooking is not a chore anymore with Crockpot Express’ fast and fabulous results. I’m now looking forward to creating more amazing meals. Thank you.

    As someone who loves to cook but is also a time poor mum I don’t always have the opportunity to make meals that take longer than 30 mins. I’m genuinely stoked at how quickly I was able to make a dish like pulled beef without spending hours over a pot!
    The options on the face of the crockpot express XL pressure were clear with their intended function which makes it easy to use. This is my new best friend!

  • Delicious (& Quick) Beef Stew

    Last night I decided to use the beef chuck steak I had to make a hearty stew. We had a fresh baguette so I thought the kids could dip their bread!
    Ingredients:
    1kg beef chuck steak
    2 brown onions
    2 carrots
    1 tin diced tomatoes
    2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
    1 tbsp Balsamic glaze
    2 bay leaves
    1 tsp dried Rosemary
    1 bunch Broccolini
    Salt & Pepper
    2 tsps Cornflour
    Method:
    Roughly chop beef, onions, carrots.
    Set your crockpot to Brown/Sear, add a splash of olive oil, salt then when it’s come to heat add the beef, onion and carrots in batches and brown off.
    Add the sauce, glaze, tomatoes, rosemary and bay leaves. Fill the tomato tin with water and add to the crockpot.
    Seal the lid (check the seal is in place properly) then set to Meat/Stew and adjust time to 1 hour.
    When it’s done, remove lid. Set to Brown/Sear.
    Mix the cornflour with a little water, add and stir until the stew thickens.
    If it’s not thick enough for you allow to bubble a little longer.
    Just before serving, add in the chopped broccolini and cook for a couple of minutes only so it stays nice and green and crisp.
    Transfer to a serving dish as the inner pot is too big and deep to take to the table.
    Delish!
    A couple of things … it would be amazing to have some kind of handle to pull the inner pot out. It gets hot and there’s not much to grab onto with oven mitts on.
    Also someone else said this but the cord is quite short which means less flexibility of where it can sit on the bench.
    Other than that, I’m getting used to it snd living the speed with which I can create recipes that would have taken hours and hours previously. Thanks a mill!

  • It’s a game changer!!

    I was a little skeptical if I’m honest. Tonight I had macaroni and cheese on the table within 10 mins. It took 5 mins to cook plus a couple of minutes for prep and serving. It was delicious too! I made a beef stew last week and it was fantastic. Tender, flavourful and the whole family loved it. It’s easy to use, easy to clean and so far it’s a massive game changer for our family!

  • Sear, set, slow cook stroganoff

    It is so handy having an appliance that does everything in the one pot. Saves on using multiple pans and washing up. This huge 7.6 litre Crockpot was a time saver for me. Today I made my family of 5 a beef stroganoff. The searing/browning feature was great. I was able to brown the beef prior setting the Crockpot to 6 hours slow cooking. Just set and walk away. The outcome was a lusciously moist, rich sauce with tender beef that melts in your mouth. The design of the Crockpot is sturdy, strong, huge in size, fantastic for large families and so simple to use. Providing you remember to turn the Steam Release nozzle to open or closed, depending on the feature, you can’t go wrong. The Crockpot is quite easy to clean, too. The recipe booklet provides meal inspiration and the instruction manual is a handy straightforward reference as well. Crockpot Express…what’s next? Maybe I’ll try the Chocolate Lava Cake! Yum!

The School Holiday Crowd-Pleasers That Never Fail

School holidays are usually a mix of excitement and mild panic. No lunchboxes (yay!) and no morning chaos. But figuring out how to keep the kids entertained without turning the house upside down or testing your sanity is the flip side!

We’re serving up a couple of fabulous winter school holiday options that are tried-and-true crowd-pleasers – and they feel like a day out for everyone, not just the kids.



Whether you’ve got little ones bouncing off the walls or teens too cool to smile, Zone Bowling and Timezone have something for every age (yes, even you). And with winter weather keeping us mostly indoors, they’re the perfect solution when parks and play centres just aren’t cutting it.

They’re fun, indoors, great value, and actually make you feel like you’ve had a proper day out… not just one of those ‘I need a nap after that’ outings.

Why Zone Bowling And Timezone Always Come Through

There’s something about Timezone that just hits different. The mix of lights, sounds and excitement pulls you in from the second you walk through the doors. You’ll find the latest arcade games, laser tag and bumper cars as well as viral sensations like Pixel and Colourgrid. Basically everything kids could want, all in one (warm) place.

And it’s not just for them. Whether you’re a closet arcade expert or a skill tester freak, it’s very easy to get swept up in the excitement.

Timezone And Zone Bowling: Kind of Day Out That Doesn’t Feel Like a Chore

Some school holiday outings sound fun in theory, but in practice? You’re exhausted, the kids are cranky, and no one’s really had a great time.

Timezone and Zone Bowling feel different. You’re indoors, warm, everything’s in one place, and you can actually relax while the kids entertain themselves (or team up with you for a round of laser tag). No weather worries, no logistics nightmare. Just good, clean, high-energy fun that ticks everyone’s box.

Ready to swap screen battles for smiles all round? Timezone and Zone Bowling make it happen, every single time – rain, hail or shine. Bring on the holiday fun!

  • I love places like these but oh boy, its costly. Yeah things like $60 gives you xx amount bonuses but still, $60 is a lot for some families. So going to Timezone is a very rare treat

  • Yeap school holidays. Best part is sleeping in but trying to find activities for the kids is hard..
    Yes there is some great places out there like Timezone but really, who has that kind of money if U have a few kids…
    So really what can we do with our kids that doesn’t cost a fortune every time you step out the door !

  • The kids love going to Timezone, especially after being dragged around the shopping center! With 5 years between them it can be hard to find things they both enjoy but Timezone keeps them both happy, occupied and entertained! It’s also a great way to bribe them while we shop 😂

  • Our family loves Timezone and kingpin. Theres always so much to do and always new games and toys to try out. It can definitely be costly though as you keep tapping away! We love the unlimited time play packages and often enjoy topping up on those special double dollar days to stretch it further.

  • We will happily be off to visit Timezone during the holidays for some fun times. We all have favourite games to play. It is such a good idea to stick to a budget when visiting Timezone. Planning before going to Timezone is a good idea and helps to make good decisions and the fun last.

  • It is absolutely so true! We went to our local timezone yesterday to reward some brave behaviour at the dentist and kick off our holiday fun. We had an absolute blast! The games had all been revamped and there was new stuff everywhere. The prizes are okay.. not great! The price to points could be more kindly proportioned. I mean 1000’s of points for a bag of lollies… Cost us a fortune to get them. Not at all as cost effective for a lot of people. I can only ever afford to get $60 at most and am so grateful for the bonus points at least. But when you consider it as $2.50 min per swipe of your card, you’ll burn through it within the hour. Still, we’ll be back for more joy!

  • IN fact my husband took the kids bowling today while I was off doing something else – it was a great solution. They had an enourmous amount of fun, it didn’t cost too much, and the timing was just about perfect for my appointment. It’s definitely a great family activity. So Fun.

  • We really do love going to Timezone for all of the fun activities that we all enjoy playing. Bowling is a firm family favourite activity to play and brings out the competition in all of us. It is a good option for indoor activities and fun for all of the family.

  • Finding holiday activities is always difficult, especially with teens! Life is so busy that it can be really hard to even think about where to go and what to do, these ideas are going on my list for this holidays entertainment. Thanks Mouth of Mums for making my life easier

  • Unfortunately, we don’t have anything that good here in Tassie. Our local bowling centre is very expensive and doesn’t have all the extras of some others. They do do school holiday specials though which are okay, but they don’t allow guard rails for adults anymore, so it’s not very fun for me :(.

  • Another nice one for those who live in Brisbane is Urban Extreme; an ultimate experience of rock climbing, dodge ball, ski lanes, snowboarding, ninja, parkour, laser tag, trampolines, play area and an adventure park all together. With what they offer there is always something also the older kids and possibly parents like

  • Things like Bounce, Time Zone and Zone Bowling never fail for most, but they are not for everyone; the mix of lights, sounds and excitement can be a massive sensory overload for those who are sensitive for that which can lead to complete panic attacks by some kids. Besides this not everyone likes bowling (we have one family member who really doesn’t like this)

  • We head to timesone whenever we go near the Gold coast or Sunshine Coast. The kids have the absolute best time. I have not taken the kids bowling in a long time but it is my birthday this week so think it is a fantastic time to give it a go!

  • Our family loves Timezone!! We definitely call ourselves regulars throughout the year. A great time where we can test our skill at claw machines and have a blast with the kids. My daughter’s favourite is driving me around on the racing game – definitely core memories unlocked! Its so fun all the time.

  • My kids do enjoy Zone bowling- we’re regular visitors even during term time. And it’s fun for everyone in the family and it’s easy to invite a friend or two to join in if you’re so inclined. Not hard to learn if you’re a b3ginner – and you don’t need equipment either.

  • Timezone often has good deals on and is lots of fun.

  • Bowling is such a fun thing to do for school holidays with kids, I even picked it as my 10 year birthday treat. Timezone is a classic day out. I remember when the photo booth stickers were new and everyone’s diary was covered in them. We have a carnival in town over the holiday break so that’s out plan! Free entry, woo

  • Kids love school holiday’s but my credit card doesn’t!!!!! I love Zone bowling, it is such a fun place to take the kids too. My daughter loves to bowl and finish off playing a few games afterwards. I am yet to take her to Timezone but it is on our list to try this year.

  • I LOVE school holidays! I think preparation is the key to having a cheap yet successful one. I always start the holidays with a sheet on the wall with a list of free activities such as – hide and seek, read a book, do a puzzle, bake something etc.
    we have a rule in the house that you can’t say ‘there’s nothing to do’ or ‘I’m bored’ because there’s a list full of fun activities. We then have a few scheduled paid activities such as cinemas, Timezone and bowling! Bring your own snacks and you’ll save even more!
