This is by far my favorite multi-cooker that i've ever used. I often make one-pot meals that call for either a large dutch oven or skillet that would be used on the stove. The cuisinart is a great multi- cooker, but the insert is not good.

There is only one pot to clean and it's so easy. Cleaning is ridiculously easy. Cleans up beautifully and is really no big deal. Like the rectangular shape to fit a nice big piece of meat.

It's almost 2 years since it went out on me. It’s so awesome. Bought it for my wife as an early christmas present. Do recommend it. It happens to be super easy, quick and fun!

Cook the ground beef and onions until the beef is browned. Add the cheddar cheese and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Stovetop setting works great.

Quick chili but using steak tips vs ground. I like to blanch any greens like the spinach so that it doesn't get that ugly green color. Stir in tomatoes, cooked rice, worcestershire sauce, and ground fennel seed if used.

It defeats the purpose to have an appliance that you want to use frequently because it's versatile but that won't hold up. This takes at least 8 hours to cook what i cooked in 6 in crock pot. In the donation pile after 2 uses.
