Can you make chili in it?

Likely you could, but my experience with it is that it would cook very unevenly. It is the best I have found for brown rice at two cups rice. One cup it tends to burn. White rice the same thing at one or two cups. Hamilton Beach Set 'n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker, 6-Quart is what I use for things other than rice. I really like it.

I wouldn't, I would use a slow cooker. You can steam veggies in it with the basket that comes with it.

I wouldn't try to cook anything on it, but I sure would think you could make nachoes or reheat something

Yes you can, I have used mainly charcoal and mix it with about 15% of flavored woods. Hope this helps

Nope; sorry! I wouldn't recommend it. Just do that separately and then put it in the cooker.

I have never tried to do that I like it the way it is, but it is to hot for the rest of the family. I would think if you don't use the whole pack it wouldn't have a good blend. Maybe try it once to see, you can also use the original mix and add a little black pepper and garlic power, I do this a lot and it's not as hot.

I know you can on the salt. The pepper is the same mechanism so I'm assuming you probably can with it to, I've just never tried it =)

We've made some more complex recipes like dehydrated chili and so forth. You might want to get a thermometer for it if you need an exact temperature, but we're really happy with it. What sorts of recipes are you planning to make?

Bill, I just made chili. 2 1/2 lbs of beef, 30oz of beans, 2 cans of tomato soup, 15oz jar of salsa, tomato paste, molasses, onions and peppers and still had lots of room. Hope this helps. This was my first use.

Hi Scott, Yes you can,but with any open heat source just don't leave it unattended for a long period of time. We love ours very much just the other day I did a roast,potatoes and buns in mine.if you didn't know they make a top rack that's a must have to layer foods.PS we burned a hole in a deck with the weber smoker once,,,Lordy be so I get the question...lolHappy cookin!

I think you can, but would have to fit in and cook slowly with supervision. It's not a slow cooker

Yes, it also adds some cornbread like flavor but be careful or you will have chili blocks! Mix with water before adding so you won't get clumps in your chili. I use this instead of cornstarch, which plays havoc with my G I system.

Yes you can, however I haven't made any yet. You might want to buy the "Good Health Clay Pot" cook book, Hedi Levine. It has all the recipes you need and the temperatures you should be using for this pot (it differs from regular pots). Hope this helped.

Five inches tall.....yes, microwaveable. It is pushing the river to take a glass with frozen chili in it and heat it to eating temperature.....you will shatter the glass.....so it works to just warm it to the point you can get the chili into another container and finish heating it to the right temperature. Yes, I do test things to destruction......but trust me, these babies are pretty tough.

Haven't tried that, but I'd think not. I don't make veg powders often, but I do make my own chili powder with peppers and herbs from my garden. A method that works for me is to dehydrate everything (I bought a dehydrator in a thrift store for about $12), measure it out, then pulverize it in batches in a blender.

yes, you can.you might be able to make less than the 3 cups of regular rice I make in it, but yeah, you can.

Yes. Especially if you are a big eater. If not, pour some in a zip-lock bag and then reuse the Mountain House bag to cook the other portion.

Yes you can, just added water and anything else you normally do - then bring the water to a boil. cook it as you would in any other pan ... just check it periodically and stir.
