    • My Pros and Cons
Color: Black
I bought this cast iron Dutch oven slow cooker to replace my really, really old West Bend slow cooker. I chose this one to try because it's Teflon-free and seems less likely to crack like ceramic liners are known to do. So far these are my pros and cons for this unit: PROS: -I will still have a useable Dutch oven when the base eventually fails. -The Dutch oven insert is compatible for use on an induction cooktop. -It comes with a handy silicone hot pad and handle covers. -It has open style handles instead of solid making it easier to get a secure grip when lifting the pot out of the base. -No need to season or re-season the interior because of the enamel coating. -It's been rather easy to understand the controls and convert instructions from old recipes. I'm a person who hates complicated technology with functions I'll never use, so this appliance suits me. -The depth and width of the pot works great for whole chickens and smallish or boneless turkey breasts. --The sauté function allows you to brown poultry in the pot first, cook, then make your gravy, and end with simmering a bone broth all in the same pot. I really like that! -There's a keep warm mode that I'm very happy to have, but the pot itself also holds heat well to keep things warm for a while after cooking. -my cake pans fit in it to help press in parchment paper for bread proofing or baking. -Contrary to another popular review, I've been able to adjust the time and temp during cooking by pressing the temp/time light once or twice to toggle between the prior set temp & time and turning the knob to adjust whichever setting is blinking. Or you can just hit cancel and reset everything. CONS: -This is promoted as being dishwasher safe, but then the cleaning instructions recommend hand washing with mild soap to preserve the enamel coating. That's sneaky marketing if you ask me!! -Enamel coatings will also scratch and chip with metal utensils, so tips on the Internet say to use wooden or silicone coated utensils to avoid that kind of wear and tear. Expect to soak rather than abrade cooked-on food . -Some may prefer a light interior enamel, in spite of them tending to stain, instead of the black interior these have. It makes it harder to see how much you've browned darker meats without picking them up out of the pot to look at. Not a problem with browning poultry in my experience and you have to turn meat as it browns anyway, so it doesn't bother me. -The rim of the lid and pot (black) are not enameled and there are reports of issues with rust there on social media, especially if you are determined to clean in a dishwasher. That's prevented by putting a little cooking oil on your finger to oil the edges before and after each use and drying thoroughly after cleaning. This can be a pro because these are the spots where chipping is likely to occur from lifting the lid on or off or banging a spoon on the edge. -While slow cooker liners are supposed to be heat resistant up to 400 degrees F, you shouldn't use them for the sauté function because they are likely to melt and ruin your pot and food. Use only for slow cooking if you must, but be aware that BPA substitutes are not considered safer than BPA. Why get away from Teflon only to expose your food to other chemicals? -It takes up a lot of kitchen real estate....think half of your sink base cabinet or as much as a toaster oven that fits a 10" square pan (my Breville mini). It's weight might make it too much for pull out drawers in cabinets, too. -From the questions answered section: "Q: Can you leave this while at work in slow cooker mode? A: Thanks for your question! Customer safety and satisfaction is our top priority. We don't recommend that you leave the Instant Precision Dutch Oven unattended when in use. Please always be nearby while using this appliance. By Instant Brands Support on December 9, 2021" Really!? Who hangs around their slow-cooker for 6-10 hours? Sounds like a "covering-our-butts" recommendation, but in their defense one has to keep in mind that cooking times in a Dutch oven are likely going to be less than in other kinds of slow cookers. There's likely going to be a need to make adjustments from the times you are used to counting on. -The cord is not detachable from the base. I wish I could put it in the pot when I'm not cooking with it. -It's made in China. All-in-all I am enjoying this slow-cooker. It has versatility that I didn't have with my old West Bend model and it seems relatively well-designed and made. Time will tell if the base has a decent longevity, but electronics are usually the weak spot of any appliance. You don't need this if you already have a slow-cooker you like and have a Dutch oven pot, but if you need to get or replace a slow-cooker, I'd consider this one. ... show more

    • Best rice cooker I've owned
Color: 8 Cup Zest
I've had a other rice cookers, and they worked, but each failed electrically before I thought they should, and they were difficult to clean. This one has have heavy use in our home for a long time. The rice is great (we've done both white and brown) and somehow it knows when it's ready to serve, no matter if I'm making a cup or three of rice. I like the ten-minute countdown timer, which helps me know when to get veggies or meats sautéing. The non-stick bowl is easy to clean and it just takes a couple of minutes to get the bowl, the insides and the small water cup cleaned up. There are more things we could do with it, but rice is our main use. Highly recommend this. ... show more

    • I like the pot, some instructions would be good.
Color: Red
I have used this for a while now, and I really like the pot. But it came with almost no instructions. I don't know how hot it gets on slow cook or what the two high temperature setting are really good for or the difference between them. I have used the sear setting to brown meat before I set the pot to slow cook. I have not used the other setting. I kind of like the manual mode, since I can turn the temp up to get it to boil and then set it down to cook, but some instructions on the thing would have been really helpful. ... show more

    • Seems Far Batter than Units Costing More
Color: Red
We purchased this slow cooker to replace a with damaged circuitry. Because the kettle is cast iron, it is much heavier than more expensive units. It does have a touch screen interface, so some care is needed. However, it appears just as robust as any push-button unit. Our previous unit was dial operated. There are a lot of extras with this unit and the size is just right. Very happy. ... show more

    • Makes great rice
Color: 8 Cup Zest
I was replacing my 30+ year old rice cooker because of a frayed cord. I thought a rice cooker was so basic that nothing could have changed in that time. This new one really surprised me. It made perfect rice, both white and brown and was extremely easy to clean. My old model used to leave a crust of unuseable rice stuck to the bottom of the pot. The new cooker has no waste as every bit of rice was soft and delicious. ... show more

After having another rice cooker that stopped working after only a handful of times I decided to try the instapot rice cooker…I’m not disappointed at all! It’s so easy to use and made the perfect rice right out of the box! If you’re looking for a rice cooker that’ll also do quinoa and oatmeal don’t hesitate to place your order right away! ... show more
