Is there cooking ingredients involved, if so the cooker isn't a part of this package so one must use a container, a large pot...

not really cooking. you just heat up water and disolve the concentrate in the large can. save the packet under the lid to sprinkle in later. just follow the instructions and you will have no problems.

Hi Raggedy Mann, It's a good thing others answered this for you, because I gave this away as gift, therefore I didn't use it myself and don't know. I did however taste the results, so the kit does work. Good luck & have fun!

No cooking ingredients are involved. The kit comes with Hopped Malt Extract (HME). Just bring to slow boil and add to fermenter. You can do your own mash if you want. Just adjust recipe for 2g. Otherwise you'd need larger equipment.

The only thing needed is hot water...regular pots are the only thing you need. The kits have everything to get you started! Very user friendly! Happy brewing!

I received my cooker today and it had paper wrapped around it - no box, no foam, no warranty, no instruction booklet. I am wondering if it is used! Very disappointing, Amazon.

Not sure what you're referring to by needing a weight, but there is no additional equipment needed for the pressure cooker than what is provided. Just close lid up and set the pressure release device to seal. It is about that easy the cooker does the rest. Enjoy!

Maybe in very small amounts, but in general they should be cooked normally (like with the lid off of the pot). Best just to follow the instructions on what is best to cook in a pressure cooker, because you don't want the lid gasket and pressure valve to get gummed up if you cook the wrong things (or overfill the pressure cooker).

Unfortunately this pot would not suit your needs because there is, in fact, a stainless steel heating element in the bottom center of the unit, surrounded by the ceramic pot. I don't know if other types of cooking pots are available without steel heating elements but perhaps a search of the Internet would be helpful in that regard. I hope this is helpful...have a great day!

Not that I know of. Don't let the corny motif fool you, this cooker is a nice piece of engineering.

Somestimes yes.... When I use the full quantity to cook...but overall I am happy with the cooker... Becomes really useful when I have guests and need to cook more than usual

There are a number of recipes on the internet. Just search for the name of the item. Also I think there may be some recipes posted on QVC. I love this microwave cooker. Do my poached eggs in it all the time and steaks too.

There are "zillions" of recipes on the Internet. Unless the recipe calls for a bigger slow cooker, you will be fine. I am using all the recipes I have had with no problems.

No, just how long typical foods take to cook. It's a wonderful pressure cooker; I use it at least once a week. :-)

Apparently not, but I have seen ones that the cooker container is safe for stovetop so you can brown meat before putting in the cooker to set. There was another model, the Breveville (?) that had a browning option, but the ratings were low for it (poorly made) and the price was high.

I cook it in chicken stock instead of water, and found near the end I needed to add more water. I just cook mine in a heavy 2 qt. pot with a tight fitting lid and it does fine. Never tried a "rice-cooker" just never saw the need for one. Love this rice, melt a little white cheese over the top of a serving and you have a great lunch!! Yummmmm

Actually, I don't remember but it did come with instructions on how to use it, filling it, adding liquid, etc. I had already had a cookbook for pressure cooking, so I only looked at the information and checked it with my cookbook. Sorry I can't be of more help, but this pressure cooker is a real time saver!

I would say "NO", The liquid has to convert to steam in order to cook. Also becareful of the seasoning and liquid that you use, I used a sugar base seasoning and beer and burnt the bottom of my cooker. I let the liquid evaporate too much. I was doing a lime flavored sweetcorn.

No. It's all one piece. I tried using a margarine container but it didnt cook all the way thru, maybe because not enough time. I never tried it again.

No, I did not see a cookbook. It has some suggestions on the package.I like using it very much. Great way to quick steam something for other recipes when I need to add something. Also good with a side dish quickly.

MUST use a STAINLESS STEEL pot.. No smaller than a gallon size pot. Ingredients call for a gallon of milk and other included ingredients.
