</div>
</div>
<div>
This just arrived yesterday and today was only my first use. From what I can tell it does what it is supposed to do, though the instructions might not be completely clear.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Best you know this" announces the back page of the included booklet, and the "Times" chart suggests that rice and grains need five minutes on the stove and at least 45 minutes in the bag. It would be clearer to understand that it means five minutes on the stove *after* bringing the rice to a boil. Expect at least 10 minutes, possibly more for larger quantities.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I brought a pot of short grain rice to a boil, then simmered for 5 minutes to be sure that the rice was heated through. I opened up the Wonderbag, put a dish towel in the bottom (since the rice had boiled over a bit) and put the pot on top of the towel. Then I covered the pot with another towel, put the Wonderbag lid on the pot, and closed up the bag. I set the timer for an hour.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After an hour I opened the bag (and got a blast of steam) and checked the temperature of the rice. It was over 182°F, definitely hot enough to cook a grain. The rice was cooked perfectly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The exterior of the bag was cool to the touch, and the countertop under the bag was cool. The interior was very hot, which tells me that the bag insulation is doing a great job of retaining the heat.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since my pots have long handles, I picked up two pots with short handles and tight fitting lids to use in this bag. A 2 quart pot and a tall 8 quart pot both fit in the bag (individually--not at the same time,) and it's easy to arrange the bag to fit around either pot.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With all this insulation the bag is LARGE. It's going to take up a lot of space when not in use. I'll probably air it out and store it in a garbage bag in a closet somewhere. There's no room in my kitchen for something this large.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There's also no way to wash the bag. You can spot clean it if something spills, but you can't toss the bag into the wash. Wrapping the pot up in clean dish towels is a very good idea.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Wonderbag is big and bulky and takes up a lot of space, and it's difficult to clean. But it does what it is supposed to do. It saves energy and it's going to keep my kitchen cool in the summer. In a hot place that last reason is good enough for me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
02/04/2014 update: It turns out that storage hasn't been a problem. I never store this bag. It gets used almost daily, and when I'm done with it I drape it over a bar stool to air out. I've even left it there when friends visit--no one sits on the bar stools anyway, and it creates instant conversation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've made lots of different things with this bag, but my favorite is rice. With a pot on the stove or even a rice cooker, there's always an overcooked layer of rice stuck to the bottom. Not with the Wonderbag. I'm still amazed when I open the lid and the entire pot of rice is perfect. I cook rice in the bag for an hour, but I've left a pot of rice in the bag for nearly two hours once, and it was still very hot and not overcooked.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Two days ago I started some dried kidney beans just before bed. I boiled them for half an hour before putting them into the bag for exactly twelve hours. They were just slightly firm, so they could have cooked a little more, but even after 12 hours they were warm enough to serve. I'll probably soak the beans next time. (Thanks to David Garcia for reminding me to point out that kidney beans must be boiled for several minutes!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've got my share of impulse buys and kitchen gadgets that seemed like a great idea at the time and that never get used. This bag isn't one of those. It saves me money, since the stove and oven aren't on for hours; it's easy, because no stirring or attention are required at all; and it does a great job of cooking food for hours. It keeps food hot enough for long enough that I'm not worried about food safety. It's such a simple thing and a really great idea. Since my concern about storage has turned out to not be a problem, I guess I should upgrade my review to five stars.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
10/25/2014 update: Some suggestions have been made in the comments. Here are a few:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
yakoanders has washed the Wonderbag, but puts a dishtowel under the pot to keep the bag clean (comments page 1)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Someone suggested Scotchgard, but 3M said no, don't use it on the Wonderbag (comments page 1)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I pointed out that if you're going to buy this bag (or any other item) from Amazon, you can go to http://smile.amazon.com/ and have part of your purchase price donated to the charity of your choice (comments page 5)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
HeartofAvalon has instructions for making yogurt (comments page 6)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also loved Jeri P. Cary's answer to a question about storage space:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My storage solution might not work for everyone, but I just put it on the couch. It looks like a stylish round pillow. :-)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6/17/2015 update: Someone just reminded me of another advantage. I live in an area that has frequent power outages. Most of the time it's for a second or two, just enough to make all the clocks blink. Sometimes they last for hours.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used to get home and wonder about the food in the crock pot. How long was it sitting on the counter without power? Is it fully cooked? Has it spoiled? I've tossed a few meals because it wasn't worth the risk.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Because the Wonderbag is just an insulated bag, this isn't a problem. The temperature when I open the bag is the coolest it's been all day. And if the power is still off when I get home, dinner is ready anyway. This probably isn't a problem for a lot of people, but here, especially in the summer, it's a regular thing.</div>

<div>
What's a Wonderbag?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wonderbag is a simple but revolutionary non-electric, portable slow cooker. Wonderbag's clever insulation allows food that has been brought to the boil to continue slow cooking or warm while in the bag. No plugs. No Fuss. No electricity required, so it’s worry-free.</div>
<div>

<div>
Slow Cooking with Wonderbag</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To slow cook, simply bring food to a boil on a stove, let simmer (5 minutes for rice and grains, 15 minutes for root vegetables, meat or presoaked beans), then put the pot with lid into your Wonderbag, close tightly, and slow cook to perfection up to 12 hours. Because it is not on direct heat, it will never overcook or burn. Wonderbag is perfect for bringing delicious home cooked meals to potlucks, dinner parties, tailgating, or camping. It's perfect for holidays when stove and counter space are at a premium.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Powerless is Powerful</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Powerless is powerful. Wonderbag isn’t just a powerless cooker; it’s an instrument for change. 3 billion women still cook over wood fires, a major source of health, environmental and socio-economic issues. By drastically reducing time spent cooking, the Wonderbag empowers women across Africa to participate in more activities outside of the home enhancing their quality of life. Using the Wonderbag helps save water, reduces the carbon footprint, minimizes deforestation, smoke inhalation diseases and deaths. One Wonderbag per year saves 1.7 trees, 1000 liters of water and 1,248 hours of time not spent collecting firewood. For every Wonderbag purchased in the US, one is donated to a family in need in Africa.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
Butternut Squash Soup</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ingredients: 2 diced onions. 3 tablespoons of olive oil. 1 butternut squash, peeled and diced. 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme. 4 cups broth. Directions: Saute 2 diced onions with oil on medium high heat for 5 minutes in large pot. Add butternut squash, and broth. Boil for 5 minutes. Add thyme.

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Best You Know This</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Use with copper, steel, aluminum, enameled cast iron, or glassware pots in standard sizes with short handles and tight fitting lid. Use the right sized pot for the food you want to cook in order to best retain heat.</div>
<div>
Bring all food to a boil before putting into a Wonderbag. For best results keep bag and pot closed for the entire cooking time.</div>
<div>
Hand wash, hang dry. Use a dishtowel in the base of the Wonderbag to protect it from spills.</div>
<div>
There is no evaporation when cooking, so use less liquid than you otherwise would. If using alcohol in your recipe, allow it to boil off for 5 minutes before placing in Wonderbag.</div>
<div>
Please note: Wonderbag will arrive vacuum sealed and must be fluffed up before first usage.</div>

I decided to write a review for two reasons. First, this is the BEST THING EVER to serve a crowd. So much so, I am thinking of buying another one just to have a backup! Secondly, some of the answers to the frequently asked questions are incorrect, incomplete or just plain ignorant and I wanted to set the record straight.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Enter the "is this a slower cooker or just reheater" question. The item is called Bella Triple SLOW COOKER (my caps) - YES it is a slow cooker - it's like three 2.5qt crock pots - and YES you can cook three different things at three different temperatures. The knob settings are warm, low, medium and high for EACH crock.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am so careful with this because it is precious to me, so I haven't broken anything and know nothing about replacing anything.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The lid holders are HEAVENLY and it also comes with three servers that you can leave right in the crocks when it's time to serve. There's a carved out notch for the handle in each crock.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Do not get the ones with smaller (1 or 1.5qt) and do NOT buy any of any brand without stable lid holders that allow steam to run right back into the crock.</div>

I have several Breville products and am always impressed with their high quality.</div>
<div>
I love the easy sear insert and the included roasting rack. Seared meat and vegetables have much more flavor. With this slow cooker, you are able to sear a roast in the insert over the stovepot, take the roast out to insert the rack, put the roast back in, add the rest of your ingredients, and then put the insert into the slow cooker until finished. So easy and so tasty! You can also use the insert to make dishes normally not done in a slow cooker. After cooking the dish on the stove, you can put it in the slow cooker and keep it warm. Perfect for potluck dinners. You can't go wrong with this Breville Slow Cooker!</div>

My husband bought this for me for Christmas. It has quickly became our go-to slow cooker as it sits on our countertop it is used so much. We cook in it at least a couple of times every week. I love that it is timer programmable, has an automatic switch to warm feature, it is very well made and does not look or feel cheap. Best of all is that the actual crock portion is made of metal and not stoneware. I have cracked so many crocks since we moved out on our own, that this one feature was worth switching to the HB brand. I also like that you have the option of using the crock piece on your stovetop to brown meats and veggies, but you don't have to if you don't want. It does cook very hot, I love that! Some slow cookers don't cook very hot, this one I never have to doubt that our meals are ready after only 5 short hours on Low. The only thing that I don't care for is that the metal crock handles and the actual handles and crock itself get very hot while cooking. We have a toddler, so I make sure it is far back on the counter so his little fingers can't touch it. Other than that one aspect, it is great! I would buy it all over again if needed and highly recommend it.</div>

</div>
</div>
<div>
The first question I had when I looked at this thing was “what purpose does this serve?” Apparently, multi-cooker appliances are now a thing and I missed the trend. So if you’re new to this like me, know that this little appliance acts as an oven, stovetop with pot, and slow cooker. It combines all of these functions rather gracefully, actually, which is in stark contrast to my general experience with convergence devices.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That isn’t to say my experience with this appliance hasn’t had a couple of bumps – it has – but the true worth of this or any other appliance is whether the potential outweighs the bumps. In this case, I think it does.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I’ll start with the looks of the thing. Stainless is nice but I think it’s also getting a little passe. If you want pop and attitude, the Candy Apple Red model is your choice. The photos don’t really show the true color. Think modern Ferrari. In fact, with the color, the glass top, and the chrome accents, I kind of think this appliance SHOULD be sporting a Ferarri logo somewhere. Simply put – it’s beautiful. Take this to cooking club and you will be the toast of the ball. It’s also a bit larger than I thought it would be, with thick double-walls surrounding the removable pot (er, “cooking chamber.”). This construction is important, as temperatures in this thing can go up as high as 450 degrees. Even at full bore, the outer surface of the appliance didn’t get overly hot. Very important for a countertop cooking device. The pot itself is aggressively nonstick, something that is greatly appreciated…you’ll see when I describe my experiences with braising.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what do you use this thing for? Well, it’s pretty general purpose. Basically anything you can do in an oven or stovetop you can do with this thing. And now I hear a couple of you saying “well then, why do I need it?!” And that’s a good question. In my case, my oven takes FOREVER to heat up, which contrasts with the speed in which this appliance can get to temperature. You also have pretty good control of your temperature, either via preset modes or through a manual mode. Rare is the stovetop that will let you set a specific temperature as opposed to vague “med, med high” and so on. Sadly, although the manual temperature settings are within a fairly wide range, they are within a range nonetheless. The lowest you can manually set the temperature is 165 degrees. In the back of my mind I was thinking this would be useful as a kind of poor-man’s Sous Vide cooker, but 165 degrees is going to be too high for that cooking method. Adding frustration to the mix is that the device itself is perfectly capable of going below that (indeed, the yogurt setting works at a comfortable 110 degrees) but the manual setting interface won’t allow it. So bummer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rice, on the other hand, is very easy to make with this device…and you can make a LOT of rice. It’s roughly double the capacity of my rice cooker, although it seems somewhat slower. A full pot of rice took 35 minutes to make. Soup? Easy. In fact, this device makes for the easiest preparation of Onion Soup that I’ve ever seen. Fill the thing with cut up onions, let them cook down to carmelized golden goodness, then add your beef stock and other stuff. Easy. And appreciated is the aforementioned yogurt mode. Making yogurt requires very precise temperature control, which again is usually out of the range of a typical stovetop. I had previously relied on an Alton Brown method of using a heating pad combined with a bowl (not going to ever buy a dedicated yogurt maker), but this device allows me to free up a heating pad. It works. Roasting? Check. Steaming? Check. The only limit is your imagination.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Or is it?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So now for one of those bumps I mentioned – braising. At first glance you’d think this would be a natural for braising. The trouble is that braising requires a tight-fitting container to keep the liquid from evaporating. And out of the box, this device does not give you that. The lid has a hole in the top (just like a slow cooker’s), there is no gasket, and it’s well made but not heavy. My first attempt at braising was to do ribs (yes, ribs…cut them in two-bone portions and you can fit a full rack in here). The liquid evaporated away and left a black mess at the bottom of the pot. However, the pot is seriously nonstick and cleanup was effortless.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Time for a hack: extra-wide heavy duty aluminum foil, covering the pot with the lid on top of it. Not only did it work like crazy, but the unit heated up about twice as fast.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It dawns on me that now it looks like I’m gushing. I guess I am. This device does that to a person. When you open up that box, the possibilities seem endless. You can’t wait to get your hands dirty and see what it can do…and it can do a lot. It is invaluable for making baked beans from scratch, which includes soaking the beans. It makes mac and cheese with grace. Using this to make my Nana’s ragu is a dream.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I may have been blindsided by the whole Multi-Cooker trend…but I’m rapidly getting up to speed. This device is a handy and useful addition to my kitchen.</div>

For over 30 years I've used a round, crock pot. It cooks well, but I never liked roasting whole chickens vertically. I decided to look for an oval crockpot, and after searching, I chose this HB model because like to brown meats before cooking them, and, since this model allows you to brown meats on the stove, in the same pot, it was great for my needs. Another plus is that the outside of the unit stays cool while cooking which is important to me because I have grandchildren that love to help me in the kitchen. Programming the cooker is super easy. Choose the low or high temp and choose how long you want it to cook. It works great for my needs.</div>

Hamilton Beach 6 Quart Insulated Programmable Slow Cooker - 33265</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Everyone hates the dreaded question, “What’s for dinner?” Slow cookers solve this dilemma that every family faces on weeknights. With a slow cooker in your cooking arsenal, coming home to a hot, table-ready dinner is as simple as adding ingredients in the morning.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A slow cooker brings a “no-watch” convenience to preparing meals, but many worry about the hot exteriors when picking up the appliance. The Insulated Programmable Slow Cooker has this problem solved. Its base is insulated to help keep most of the heat on the inside, where it’s needed most. Along with its cool design, the Insulated Programmable Slow Cooker is equipped with a nonstick removable pan that goes on the stovetop for easy browning. More lightweight than traditional stoneware, the aluminum insert pan offers cooks the benefit of fast, even heating on the stovetop and eliminates the need to clean a second pan afterwards.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not only is the Insulated Programmable Slow Cooker full of smart ideas to make life easier, it was also designed with simple programmability in mind. An intuitive control panel makes setting the time and temperature a simple matter of pressing a few buttons, and the cooker’s even heating performance ensures that meals come out the way you want them to: tender and delicious.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

PRODUCT USES AND DETAILS</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Simple Programmability</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Insulated Programmable Slow Cooker has simple buttons for selecting the cooking time and temperature and either one can be adjusted anytime, even after you start cooking. During the cooking cycle, the countdown display on the control panel shows the remaining time so you can see it at a glance. When the cooking time is up, the slow cooker automatically switches to WARM. If you forget to turn the slow cooker OFF for any reason, the unit will automatically shut off after 14 hours of total cooking time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Stovetop Searing</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Many recipes recommend browning or searing meat prior to slow cooking. While this step is not required, it can enhance the meal’s flavor. To make browning easy, the Insulated Programmable Slow Cooker has a removable, stovetop-safe pan. This insert pan is made of nonstick aluminum, so it heats quickly and evenly and is perfect for browning. When you brown or sear food, the delicious flavor you start on your stovetop will improve the taste of your finished meal.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Designed by Consumers, For Consumers</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At Hamilton Beach, every appliance has to perform well for consumers before it ever makes it onto the shelf. As we design products, we seek out honest feedback and opinions from a variety of sources. Now that’s Good Thinking.®</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our research revealed that consumers are frustrated with hot surface temperatures on slow cookers. With that in mind, we developed a plastic body with handles that are fully integrated into the design. As a result, the aluminum pan is nestled entirely inside the insulated housing as food cooks, so the sides and the handles remain cooler to the touch.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also identified several innovation opportunities for the slow cooker’s inside. Traditional crocks are heavy and are not stovetop safe. Since many slow cooker recipes call for browning on the stovetop, people need a separate pan to cook with — and clean. To avoid that inconvenience, the Insulated Programmable Slow Cooker is equipped with a lighter, stovetop-safe aluminum pan with nonstick performance.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
SLOW COOKER TIPS</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For those new to the slow cooking method, there are a few things you should know. First, how high you fill the crock (also called the insert pan, stoneware, cookware or vessel) is important. To prevent overcooking, the crock should be filled anywhere from half full up to no more than one inch from the rim. Leave more room when cooking with liquid. When cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5 cm) space between the top of the crock and the food so the recipe can come to a simmer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Secondly, lifting the lid during cooking will cause the crock to lose heat and it will take longer for your meal to cook. Unless your recipe specifically calls for stirring, resist lifting the lid. Last but not least, if you want to store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place the entire crock in the refrigerator. Contents will take too long to cool. Instead, divide leftovers into smaller containers and then place in the refrigerator.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cooking Meat</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A slow cooker is great for foods that are not naturally tender, like meat. Similar to braising, slow cookers tenderize meat slowly as it cooks. Cuts such as chuck roast, pork butt, short ribs or chicken thigh produce great results. These are the least-expensive cuts but also the most flavorful. If fat is an issue, refrigerate the contents after cooking and skim off the extra fat before serving. Note: you must thaw frozen meat and poultry before adding it to the slow cooker.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cooking Side Dishes or Dessert</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Main courses, soups and "one-pot" meals are not the only things that slow cookers are great for preparing. They are also perfect for making side dishes and dessert, especially when your main oven is full. Check out the recipes found at www.HamiltonBeach.com that were developed and tested by the culinary experts in the Hamilton Beach Test Kitchen.</div>

<div>
How to Adapt Recipes</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can convert your favorite recipes to slow cooker recipes if you learn these important differences first:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Liquids do not evaporate in a slow cooker. So unless you are cooking rice, pasta, or beans, reduce amount of liquid to 1/2 of the amount called for in your recipe.</div>
<div>
Fresh vegetables produce more desirable results than canned and frozen vegetables. Canned and frozen vegetables take less time to cook and can produce overcooked dishes.</div>
<div>
Potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic should be washed and cut in uniform pieces, then placed in the bottom of the crock.</div>
<div>
Ground beef should be browned and drained before slow cooking to remove grease.</div>
<div>
Tender foods such as pasta, asparagus and snow peas should be added in the last hour of cooking.</div>
<div>
Dairy products such as cheese, milk, and sour cream should be added in the last half hour of cooking.</div>
<div>
Seafood such as shrimp, scallops, and fish should be added in the last 15-30 minutes of cooking.</div>
<div>

Just bought one of these and, in spite of a few mediocre reviews I'd read here, have to say that I'm glad I took the chance -- it works wonderfully. Wanted something smaller for myself but large enough to hold a roasting chicken. This is it. Put a 4.5 pound roasting chicken in yesterday morning (on top of a baking potato cut in chunks, some mini carrots and a small onion cut into chunks - surprised that it all fit!), sprinkled the top with some tarragon, and set it for 10 hours on low. Later got an invitation to dinner so off I went. Came home to find that it had finished cooking & shifted to the "warm" setting, just as promised. Steaming hot (I wonder if the reviewer who said their food did not cook didn't have a damaged cooker). I very much like this change to a slightly smaller cooker. Next will be stew meat and veggies with a can of beef broth... and then pork chops drizzled with bbq sauce. A slow cooker makes me eat better without any effort at all! Buy it - you'll like it.</div>

I read the reviews about the smell, food temps, etc. I purchased one anyway, and read the directions. (Who does that?) The directions plainly state that you should, before ever putting food in the stoneware pots, pour in fours cups of water into each stoneware pot, then turn all the temps to High for 30 minutes. The directions plainly state that you will notice a slight odor, which will quickly disappear. The directions also make mention of how to put already-cooked food in the appliance for buffet serving, to NOT put cold food in. In other words, the directions speak to all of the complaints that I've read, and that it would appear that the owners doing the complaining have not operated the appliance as directed. If operated properly, this triple-crock does a great job, looks nice on the serving table, is easy to clean, and very functional. I highly recommend it!</div>

I am a senior non-cook male who was suddenly faced with feeding myself after my wife passed away. The Instant Pot has been a marvelous help. With it I can cook meat (poultry, beef, pork), potatoes, carrots, corn all together with excellent results. Everything cooks to perfection within about 30-40 minutes. All I have to do is put the ingredients in the pot, push a button, and leave for about 30 minutes. Voila! Instant dinner. I have also cooked rice as a kind of breakfast porridge. No problem. Clean up is very easy. Construction appears solid (stainless steel pot). Would buy again without hesitation.</div>

The reason for purchasing it: I have many family members I celebrate Christmas with and I often attend 2 or more Christmas dinners over the week of Christmas. This year, my cousin purchased the Power Pressure Cooker XL - the one seen on TV - and made delicious lasagna in 20 minutes, after a bit of a long warm up time. I decided I wanted my first pressure cooker, but I don't like Teflon, because of chemicals and because my boyfriend likes to use metal utensils to stir. I took a few days and performed a good amount of research and found the Instant Pot IP-Smart and it has a stainless steel pot. I figured, from the price reduced by my $50 gift card I received for Christmas, I was going big or not getting one at all. First, I love the bluetooth connection. I love that I can start, stop, and change settings from my phone, instead of standing in the kitchen. I have the iPhone 6+ and it paired easily while I was nearby. Bluetooth is not a long-range signal. Second, I love that I can create the details in the app for recipes I find online. I can set title, pressure, and length of time to cook. Cooking has never been easier!</div>
<div>
The experience: My first meal was chicken and gravy with vegetables. It turned out fantastic - 15 minutes on high pressure. Done. The pot didn't burn the food at the bottom, like I've heard of other electric pressure cookers doing. I removed the veggies and the chicken and made gravy in the same pot for the chicken. It was a hit! The heat up time to get to pressure isn't very long, either. I know from family members' experience with other pressure cookers, theirs take 20-30 minutes to reach pressure before cooking. The Instant Pot takes 7-10 minutes. That's really good! Also, the machine is so quiet! I had to get really close to hear it working. It's perfect for family get togethers and meals at home.</div>
<div>
Recommendation: Whether you spend $100 on the IP 60 or $250 on the IP 60-smart, you can't go wrong with the Instant Pot brand. Hippeessurecooking.com has YouTube videos reviewing this awesome product and the features are fantastic. Some have reviewed trouble with pairing or using the app, these instances can be influenced by location, home building materials, and device. I had no trouble pairing or using the device and the booklets and materials it comes with are enough to get someone who has never used one (like me) started. Personally, I love this pressure cooker and will recommend it 1000x to everyone I know. I cannot believe I ever lived and cooked without this!!</div>

Looks great. Does the job. What more can you ask for. No need for the fancy dancy stuff. The appliance that work the best and last the longest I find are ones with basic functions. No need for all the digital bologna.</div>

I am replacing an older style crockpot from the same brand that had 3 interchangeable size crocks with this one, as it is no longer heated. Let me tell you, this has so many really great features! I have never had a programmable crockpot before so that in itself was a huge upgrade. Heats well (not too hot, like my old one), and heats evenly. The main issue that I have run into with other crocks is that I never know which size crockpot to use (so I originally started out with 4 crockpots which are just ridiculous for someone who uses it as infrequently as I do). This crock is marked with little grooves where the crock sizes are which is really helpful so you know which setting to use. The timer works as indicated!!! The lid has a gasket around it which is good (but kind of a pain to clean). I have yet to use the locks but that will be great if I ever need to travel with it.</div>

I purchased this item having no prior pressure cooker experience and not having used a slow cooker for over 15 years. Back in the day I had a very basic crockpot which had used many times. This recent cold winter gave me the desire to expand my cooking capabilities. I definitely wanted something to let me do a slow cooking to make chilli's and other amazing dishes that I could set and forget - but the fact that this item is a dual purpose pressure cooker also interested me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the main selling point for me was the beautiful display that it has - its large, easy to read and displays many pieces of information and being a little bit of a tech nerd I really liked the informative display and the color of the display - it looks cool and isn't a low quality basic count down timer like so many others models have.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The build quality of this product seems very substantial I suspect it will last me for many years the handles on the side are attached securely the dials are very nice the hinge is quality as well. The top lid comes apart very easily for cleaning.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While I have only use this product twice once to make chili and today I'm making beef stew so far I'm very much liking this product I do have a couple other Breville products, a microwave, toaster and food processor and they all have been performing very well over the last year so I would only expect the same from this product.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope to use the pressure cooker aspect of this device in the coming weeks to get more familiar with how that works and expand my cooking capabilities so I will update this review at that time related to pressure cooking.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The 6 quart capacity is quite large and will allow you to make dishes for 4 to 7 people easily or as few as one or two people - but it doesn't take up a lot of counter space as you can see in my photos in relation to a toaster and coffee cup.</div>

The Combination Pressure and Slow Cooker That Knows The Time, Temperature and Pressure Different Foods Need Some foods are tender with time, others are tastier under pressure, but how do you know the pressure, temperature and time different foods need ? Its all possible with the 'Fast Slow Pro' a multicore with pressure and slow cook menus that automatically adjust time, temperature and pressure between fast and slow cooking. Dual sensors at the top and bottom monitor ingredients for more accurate temperature and pressure control, while the hands free steam release automatically varies across foods to maximize flavor and texture. So now you can pressure cook, slow cook, steam, reduce, sauté and sear with the press of a button and you can rely on the fully interactive LCD to tell you when its building pressure, cooking and releasing steam.</div>

This is my fourth one of this style of a West Bend slow cooker in 20 or so years. I started with a four quart model. I wore it out after about 6 years of using it at least 4 or 5 times a week all year (I was a working mother then). I bought a second four quart, and passed it on three years ago to my son when he got married. I still have the six quart I purchased as a replacement (I have hidden it from my son so I can have a spare if I need it). I love this new electronic model best of all. I love being able to set the timer and know it will switch to warm when done. The older models did not do that. The digital age has arrived for my FAVORITE slow cooker of all time!! I have given away the oval standard slow cooker I had (not a West Bend). There aren't many dishes I haven't tried in this slow cooker. This is the best West Bend model yet. This model is pricey for a slow cooker, but I would purchase another one, if I found a good sale price.</div>

The Hamilton Beach slow cooker was sent to me for free through Amazon's Vine program. I'm really pleased with its looks, performance and large 6 quart capacity and highly recommend it. This is a modern looking yet traditional slow cooker. It's traditional in that it operates by turning a knob rather than being digital and it has an earthenware crock (porcelain enamel coated according to the website) that fits into the metal base that has the heating element. I love the oval shape, easy to hold handles and contrast of the clean white color of the crock against the metal base. A nice glass lid rather than plastic (like my old Rival crock pot had) covers the crock and fits well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The control knob is on the left side (rather than middle) and has 4 clearly marked options-- off, low, high and warm. The slow cooker comes with 5 sets of decorative wraps for the front and back to match it to your occasion -- which I think is very cute for a party where it will remain plugged in. I'm attaching a picture of the festive birthday wrap. Additional themed wrap sets can be purchased. The HB comes with a small recipe book for basics like pot roast and chili. The crock and lid are both dishwasher safe. I've used it for cooking twice now and it works perfectly. I followed my own tried and true pot roast and chili recipes and both came out great. The handles stay nice and cool and are comfortable for carrying the slow cooker, but the sides do get very hot. I'm really happy with this slow cooker and recommend it!</div>

After excited anticipation, the last thing I wanted to see was a C6 error and all the lights flashing. Nothing on the web about this error. Nothing in the INSTANTPOT FAQ. Called Customer Service and they assured me it is a KNOWN PROBLEM, easy to fix, and I could do it myself. Based on their statistics, about 500 people should have seen the same error. But there was nothing published. HMMMM!!! The Customer Service rep would not tell me the fix (two steps) over the phone. Go to the INSTANTPOT.COM customer support page and open a ticket. Next day a detailed full color email came. The problem was not the same, but I managed to determine the leads for the pressure sensor were not connected. And I got an look at the insides, in my opinion, it is not robust.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A month later, and about 100 meals, I am a satisfied owner.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was concerned about the size, but it was needless. I'm actually kind of glad because it's so good I am eating too much! (leftovers to the neighbors who think it's all good) I've cooked 5# chickens, 6# roasts, perfection every time. Seafood and Soups are the best I've ever had. Every cooking cycle has been used many times. When using a recipe book, I use that, even if it's almost double; for example, the corned beef 3# went 50 mins, but it was moist and tender. PERFECT! My four favorites; Miss Vicky's Rice Pudding, Bob Warden's Whole Bird, Bob Warden's two cola pork roast. and Chicken Stock (because it improves everything you cook in it). Hot pork sandwiches from the two cola pork roast are addicting! Be sure to double the gravy, it's that good. BTW, Steamed veggies only take three minutes, crispy crunch 2, and use the quick cool down, then into ice water. More, or using the natural cool down method, and you get veggie mush. Red beans and rice, so good you'll go into a coma</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am on the fence about the Slow Cooker cycle. I made eggplant Lasagna where the top 1/3 was not hot. Granted it was a little above the 2/3 level, after 4 hours the noodles were done, veggies done, cheese melted, but overall it was warm. I am going to try again with a smaller batch, and will post my results</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have never done pressure cooked desserts before, but my results have been excellent. Moist Brownies, Cheesecakes, cakes, Puddings, all were off the chart. Even a coconut creme pie. I do suggest using the pot in pot method (creates a ban' Marie) or the bottom will probably scorch. I put water in both places</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Why 5 stars? It cooks better than excellent. Haven't used my oven in a month (no more oven cleaning!!!)where cleaup on the stainless steel cooking pot is a breeze. The Customer Service issue was resolved quickly and the others may be due to user error. I will buy another if this one fails. And your friends will get tired of you always praising your InstantPot!</div>

Still working on the many recipes. Great so far with Mac & Cheese, sausage (chorizo worked well for us) and rice, and oatmeal. I really want to try the cheese cake recipe. We have even used it as a fridge to watch over the leftovers until the next day. Easy to use and set up. In my first review I said it was like someone else prepared the meal for us.</div>

The COOLCOOKERTM For the first time in a long time, a really new, revolutionary, high value, multi-function, kitchen appliance, invented by a NASA engineer. It is a refrigerating slow cooker with temperature control. No OTHER slow cooker, programmable or not can do this. It solves a major complaint about slow cookers of not having someone home to turn it on at the right time. If it works for you, the refrigeration feature allows you to use it several times a week, so it can have high value. Its 3 Quart capacity easily serves four average meals. In addition to slow cooking, temperature control allows you to do things like make yogurt and pas sous vide cook meat (google sous vide for perfectly cooked, juicy meats or go to coolcooker dot com). It fits easily on the kitchen counter, it is 10 inches wide, 16 inches deep and 9 inches high. Or you can locate it elsewhere if you need the kitchen space. See more at coolcooker dot com. There are many complete, delicious, healthy recipes that can be prepared, start to finish including cleanup, in 15-20 minutes. One year warranty.</div>

I work almost everyday (including Sundays) so this pot has been my life saver (or the dinner saver). My older one was 5qt. cool touch Rival. This All-Clad cooker cooks so much faster than my older one (the inside temperature of All-clad gets 230F in high setting). Ribs and 5 pound chicken done in 4 hours in high. If you want crispy chicken skin, let it cook for 6 hours. I highly recommend this product.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By the way I put small roasting rack when I roast chicken or ribs so that they don't stew in the dripping. Save the dripping broth. Put it in the fridge overnight, and get rid of the fat. And use it in your soup or stew, of course, this cooker can do that job just fine as well.</div>

Updated Review: 4/17/2008</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've been using this slow cooker at least twice a week. Time to time I would hear "pop" sound either in the middle or toward the end of the cooking time. I couldn't figure out what was making this sound. One day my husband found cracks on the ceramic insert. They were fine cracks, but the cracks were in inside and outside. I contacted All-Clad. The service rep. told me to send a picture of the cracks. So I did. For several weeks I didn't hear anything from them. So I contacted them again. Apparently they didn't get my email with the pictures. So I sent them again. The next day I got a phone call from All-Clad that they would send me a new insert. It arrived a couple of days ago. I made a most wonderful chicken soup with leftover rottisserie chicken yesterday. I'm starting my love affair with this slow cooker again.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div>
Update Review: 11/9/2009</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wish I could say that my slow cooker insert is still going strong. Unfortunately it isn't. I really tried to use them (I have gone through 3 inserts) as much as I could - until I could see the leak. I thought of getting a metal insert. However, it costs $200 NOT including shipping and handling. So I got the most modest Rival Slow Cooker: a 7-qt. with a turn dial. I've had it for 7 months. So far no cracks. It boils water quicker than All-Clad even in the low setting, but still no cracks. I had talked to an All-Clad rep about a possible defect in the ceramic insert, but she didn't seem to believe that theory. I wish I could change the rating to 2-star. It could have been 1-star, but I liked All-Clad's customer services.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div>
Additional Comment: FYI the 2nd insert cracked within 2 hours in the high setting and the 3rd insert cracked in the low setting. After that I began to think maybe the inserts were defective. I did not abuse them. I only used as directed: high or low and went through the dishwasher. I'm using my humble and simple Rival cooker in the same way, and so far no cracks. I thought of getting the metal insert for the All-Clad Slow Cooker, but it was too expensive: $200 for the insert, over $50 for the metal lid (required for the metal insert) and $70 shipping and handling. Besides the reviews were not good for their non-stick metal insert. I'm very happy with my humble Rival 7 qt. Slow Cooker.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div>
Update: 6/10/2010</div>
<div>
My humble 7-qt Rival slow cooker is still going strong. I've been using it every week, and still no cracks so far. I have made roasts, soups, stews, and casseroles. I haven't made dessert yet. I've seen Sandra Lee "baking" dessert in her white slow cooker. I can't remember if it was Rival or not. But I'll try someday.</div>

</div>
<div>
Before I begin my review, I want to state that I did not buy my Power Pressure Cooker XL on Amazon, but I do thank them for allowing people to review the same items purchased elsewhere. I come to Amazon any time I want to research a product and usually end up buying here, just not this time.</div>
<div>
That being said, I noticed a lot of negative feedback about the customer service at the Power Pressure Cooker company. That worried me, as I had just placed my order. I read one woman's review that she went and bought hers at Bed, Bath and Beyond for the same price, so I cancelled my order and just went and picked one up at my local BBB last night. I already roasted a chicken in it and I love it!</div>
<div>
The directions are there, just very small in the users manual. They ask you to, essentially, "season" the pot and the rubber gasket by filling it with water 2/3 full and setting it to the canning setting. I did that and I'll admit I was a little worried about how long it took to reach the pressurized point. (The instructions said it could take up to 17 minutes, but it was more like 25) for this first time out. It finally completed the canning cycle and I left it alone until this morning.</div>
<div>
Eager to try it, I got up about 30 minutes earlier than normal; I decided to roast a chicken. I used a 4 lb whole chicken but followed the instructions in the cookbook for the 3 - 2lb chickens. I put the oil in the pot, hit the Chicken/Meat button, seasoned the chicken and by the time I put the chicken in to brown it, it was sizzling. It took about 5 minutes to brown the bird. Then cancelled the Chicken/Meat program and, even though it didn't say to do so, I added about a 1/2 cup of water because I wanted a little extra stock to make soup later. Put the lid on, pushed the Soup/Stew button and adjusted the time to 30 minutes. I waited a few minutes to see how long it took to pressurize and with the food in there, it was just a matter of a couple of minutes. I left to get ready for work and when I came back 40 minutes later, it was on the Keep Warm setting. I made sure all air was released and opened the lid. The smell that hit me was amazing. And, just like on the commercial, the chicken literally fell off the bone. So tender and juicy and full of flavor! I can hardly wait for lunch. Tonight I'm testing out the canning feature and am going to can some chicken soup (that I'm making from the chicken and stock I made this a.m.) so my hubby can have homemade chicken stew for work. Tomorrow... chuck roast. I think this will just take a little trial and error. There are very few recipes in the booklet, but there are lots online. If you can, I suggest buying from a local store or Amazon; when I called to cancel the order with Power Pressure Cooker I could really see what all the complaints were about. They were very pushy and what should have been an easy 1 - 2 minute phone call took about 7 minutes. I really recommend this cooker as I can see how much simpler it's going to make things. I mean heck, I roasted a chicken before work with virtually no clean up other than the pot!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
UPDATE - after using for a while: STILL AWESOME. So far have made the Mac and Cheese (to die for!) a pork roast with honey Dijon sauce, whole chicken, steak... yes, a steak, and a beef pot roast. All came out better than I could have hoped for. I will admit it was strange to cook a rib eye in liquid in a pressure cooker, and I probably won't do it again with an expensive cut, but the flavor of my spices was deep into the middle... very good. I have nothing but good to say about this unit.</div>

This basic crockpot -- the only extra is the hinged lid -- is a great replacement for my 20 year old Rival Crockpot that looked like something bought in the 1950s. This one has a sleek black look, from the metal exterior to the oval ceramic insert to the hinge and handle on the lid.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Crockpot has three heat settings -- low, high, and warm. The low setting runs hotter than the one did on my old crockpot, which means liquids start to simmer in about an hour, but it doesn't get nearly as hot on low as my mother's Cuisinart cooker does. The hot setting can cook food faster, although some foods will get tough when cooked at higher temperatures, so use caution. The warm setting is great when you've already cooked something and want to keep it at temperature until you're ready to serve.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Like most basic Crockpots, this one is made of lightweight aluminum that is disguised by the black paint. I like the oval shape, which makes it more conducive to cooking a chicken or pork loin than a circular one is. The lining is heavyweight stoneware that can lift out and go in the oven or dishwasher, and there are small grooves to let out some of the steam that builds up inside the crock. The top is dishwasher-safe but not oven-safe, so the liner and top cannot be used as a Dutch oven the way other brands can be used. Despite this small limitation, I really like the hinged top since I don't have to dirty the counter when I remove it to get to the food inside. The steam washes down the lid and right back into the pot. Plus, the lid has a gasket to keep moisture inside instead of running along the exterior of the pot. To remove the lid for cleaning, you merely grasp it and lift straight up. The only thing attaching the lid to the unit is the plastic that fits inside the opening.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are looking for a basic crockpot without programming or Bluetooth function or a digital display or whatever bells and whistles they put on slow cookers these days, this is an excellent choice.</div>
