700W Digital Multi Cooker
1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St. Mark’s Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street, which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower brand name.
1961 Tower became one of the largest manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric kettles, tea pots and other household articles with over 1,000 employees. 1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the expanding Tower brand.
1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can see from the original poster, their stand No. A410 must have been a great sight as it promoted their “Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at prices all can afford to pay”.
A Healthy Alternative The Tower 5 Litre Digital Multi Cooker offers an efficient, hassle-free way to produce beautiful, succulent food. Ideal for all types of cooking, you can steam, braise, sauté or pot roast up, all to 70% faster than conventional cooking methods. A unique twist locking system allows you to remove the lid using only one hand - great for when you’re multitasking in the kitchen - and the 24 hour keep warm function means you can have your meal when you’re ready, not when it is.
