Saw this one can be used for slow cooking or pressure cooker. What has your experience been with the slow cooking part

Slow cook is great, I can cook rice in 8 mins (excluded the time to warnup reach to pressure), but the bowl inside scratch easily caused contamination. Replacement cost $40+, I suggest spend more $ buy one with stainless bowl such as Instant Pot IP-LUX60 6-in-1.

??? Works just as advertised. Just like a 6 qt crockpot. & browns meats just like a pan.My only semi-negative comment is that the top isn't specifically stated can go in the dishwasher. But I put it on the top dishwasher rack and (so far) no problems..

Yes, I would say it's a very good idea to. Never have myself as I don't use one much, I've usually used my slow cooker for stews and chili.

it's a nice piece of equipment for use in a pressure cooker. can cook several different dishes at once.

I do. I have an oval slow cooker. a black one, I got at Farm and Fleet. It works fine.

This model can even make cakes, and yes, it can be used as a slow cooker. However, be sure to clean throughly all parts before making rice. The taste could transfer to the next dish if not cleaned properly.

I have only used it to keep dips warm and don't feel the size of the crock pots lends itself to doing more than that... If you want something to use as a slow cooker, my sister-in-law got one that is a little larger (the three crock pots are oval) and I'm pretty sure it would work well.

I would buy the exact same pressure cooker that I have which is the Kuhn Rikon 3342 5 1/4 Quart. Just used it yesterday to make a boneless leg of lamb and it came out great. This pressure cooker has been performing consistently for the 1+ year that I've had it.

I'm sorry but I am unable to answer your question as I do not have a pressure cooker. I purchased this to use in a pan to poach fish and have not used it yet. Good luck.

Yes, it can be used as a slow cooker, and on low all day. The insert is quite heavy, I have never had a problem with over cooking or burning. The cover fits snuggly and secure, it is vented for steam.

Yes it does. It has a slow cook function that you can use for stews or soups or any type of slow cooker recipe.

this unit does not work well as a pressure cooker. it is fine for a slow cooker but the seal isn't good enough for continued pressure cooking.

Yes, it can be used as an ordinary slow cooker. But the temp settings are easier to control.

Works extremely well. I had one before and love the flexibility of using it directly on the stovetop and transferring to the units slow cooker base. Control on slow cooker works well too. No complaints about the Westbend Slowcooker - I love it!

There is a tiny bit of play, but no more than any of my other slow cookers. Since I wrote that review, I have done slow-cooked soup and steamed asparagus and both excellent. I really can't find anything negative to say about this appliance.

I have not tried this in a slow cooker, but it is a great idea! I would think it would work well as long as it fits well in the bottom of the cooker.

I don't have that cooker, because of its inferior design and quality of construction, compared to other similar units. I returned it to the store where I bought in less than one day without even firing it up. There are other units out there at comparable cost that are much better designed and constructed. Regardless of what you use, I would recommend that you should plan on cooking several relatively small portions rather one huge batch all at once.
