Slow Cooker, HOUSNAT 10 in 1 Programmable Cooker, 6Qt Stainless Steel, Rice Cooker, Yogurt Maker, Delay Start, Steaming Rack and Glass Lid, Adjustable Temp&Time for Slow Cook with Digital Timer

I am thrilled! Cooker arrived packaged very well and whoever dropped the box on it’s corner did not succeed in damaging the cooker. This is the prettiest cooker I have ever owned! The stainless steel interior pot is a game changer and I feel better knowing I am cooking healthier and without dangerous chemicals from my old ceramic cookers. I cooked a 3 1/2 pound roast and all its accompaniment vegetables and gravy to tender succulence in 4 hours on the high setting. I was expecting it to take around 6 hours or more having read a few other reviews. I am so glad I checked my roast early because it was at a full rolling boil without problem. My cooker cooked the food thoroughly and perfectly. I read all instructions prior to use and, in addition, watched several video reviews and tutorials on YouTube so I was familiar with the process before beginning. Cooking with this was beautiful and clean up left the pot looking brand new easily! I am, thus far, delighted with this multi-cooker! (I didn’t get a photo of the roast before it was devoured.) 🙄

I do like this product I do feel though it doesn’t heat of proportional. For example the left side of my food is always burning for some reason for the last 4 meals I have made. All on the same side and I think maybe it just doesn’t heat up right. The lid is great and the cook time is super nice! The little rack it comes with for steaming feels cheap but the rest is night and sturdy. I really like the way it fits. It is large but I wanted it to be. It’s great for bigger dinners.

Rarely do I write reviews. But this product deserves it! With the stainless steel insert it enables me to process items for canning so easily, especially tomatoes. The slow cooker does not overheat, and the exterior does not get hot, gets warm but not burning hot. Makes the best bone broth!A breeze to clean, and comes up beautifully with a little bar keepers friend. It is true that the panel at first appears touchy, but that is because we are used to pressing buttons constantly. This product calls for only 1 touch of the buttons. Read the instructions first and follow. Takes a bit of practice to get the hang of it.Highly recommend this product. Thinking seriously of a second as tomato season approaches.

I used this cooker yesterday for the first time, and love it so far. My only hesitation in buying this cooker was that reviewers said the slow cook function on low setting didn't get hot enough. But otherwise, I liked everything else about it. I especially like that the labels on the buttons are big and easy to read, for old eyes. The stainless inner pot is very nice, so smooth it's slippery, which is great for cooking/searing. I used the sear function to cook onions for the soup I'm making and I added a few other things, then the liquid broth. I think the vent hole in the lid is too big (lets too much heat out), so I twisted up a small piece of foil and stuck it in there. I can remove it to vent the soup, as needed. So if you slow cook on low setting in this pot, try plugging up that vent hole. Maybe that will retain some of the heat so you can successfully "slow cook" on the low setting. I'm not convinced yet that the slow cook high setting is hot enough, either. I'm done adding stuff to the pot now so it will stay closed and hopefully the temp can reach its max and start bubbling. Water boils at 212 degrees, but this hasn't bubbled or boiled yet. As far as the included manual and recipe book: manual is minimally helpful. Recipes look interesting, but prepare to see lots of typos.Next Day Update: A Google search will tell you that typically the Slow Cook LOW setting is about 200 deg. F and the HIGH setting is around 300 deg. F. So, using that info, I was looking through the manual and, based on which functions allow you to adjust the temperatures, I will use the Sear, Roast, or Bake functions for slow cook HIGH because I can adjust the temp. to 300 deg., give or take a few. For slow cook LOW I will use the Stew function and I can set the temp to 200 deg., give or take a few. My first time using the cooker yesterday, I had a full pot of densely packed soup and after a couple hours it wasn't hot. I took the temp and it ranged from 191 to 194, clearly not high enough to bubble. So I switched it back to Sear/Saute to get it going and it finally was ready in less than an hour. But this entire soup process on the Slow Cook function went on for over 3 hours, and still didn't get hot!! The Slow Cook function is faulty by design and the max temperatures need to be adjusted upwards. I don't know if this cooker heats just from the bottom or from the bottom and sides, but you have to get some heat going in this thing--by some means--to get the food cooked.26 August update: Making chicken taco soup. Can't get this thing to "simmer," can't adjust the temperature to anything between 210 and 248 degrees. None of the functions will let you adjust to a temp within that range. This is really annoying. The Steam function is 212 but it is an aggressive boil, not a simmer. So all afternoon I've been going between agressive boiling on Stew or Sear and it doing nothing on Slow Cook high (those default temperatures are not high enough to simmer). Both Slow Cook High and Low have automatic temperatures, so you can't adjust them. I hope the folks at Housnat read these reviews and will fix the Slow Cook temperatures and make all the functions' temperatures fully adjustable. It's such a nice looking cooker, but this inability to get a simmer is really annoying. How do you cook anything that needs to simmer or slow cook?

We were looking for a slow cooker with stainless steel internal pot. This item has 10 different cooking methods and a stainless steel inner pot. First time it works great. Second time it never went above lukewarm. We had to throw away the food. I would not buy this brand again.
