MAGNIFIQUE 4 Quart Programmable Casserole Slow Cooker, 8-in-1 Multi Cooker with Removable Non-Toxic Stoneware Crock, Claypot Slow Cooker, Rice-cooking, Nonstick, Oven Safe Pot to 450°F, Olive Review
I tested this cooker for many home meals, and it worked very well for meat for stew in slow cooker recipes. The size felt just right for my small family. I made beef stew, chicken soup, rice, and even warm dips in it. The food came out soft and full of flavor every time. I also liked how the olive color gave my kitchen a warm look without taking too much space on my counter.
The stoneware crock held heat well, so my stew meat stayed juicy after many hours. I liked that I could move the pot into the oven too. That gave me more ways to cook meals in one dish. The controls were simple, and I did not need much time to learn them. If you enjoy easy comfort food, this cooker makes daily cooking feel much less stressful.
