Can this be used with all regular slow cooker recipes? Does it work just the same?

It's really depends on food, how long you will slow cook by recipes. Remember, the temperature will reduce gradually --- due to this is a Non-Electric Thermal Slow Cooker. However, it does save energy and good for potluck (keep warm).

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

The feature I use mostly is cooking rice, I have such good crockpots, I only use them for slow cooking. I'm sorry to not be more helpful.

The cooker works best if it is filled at least half full. Smaller dishes that basically cover the bottom cook way too fast because the whole liner gets hot. I cook for two people all the time but when I use the slow cooker I make large batches of soups, green chile pork, spaghetti sauce, etc. I freeze the leftovers in freezer containers in portions for two servings. Then when you have a night you are rushed and don't have time to cook you can make use of that frozen "dinner."

The more used it, the more I like it. As a slow cooker it only has one heat level...it doesn't have a high a low setting. It is very convenient to have the searing Function right there in the pot. It's also great to have the pressure cooker and the steamer in that same appliance.

There is no comparison. It is head and shoulders above a normal slow cooker. it does every thing better thean a normal slow cooker, plus youor stove top, plus your oven. My wife now even lets it sit ontop of her glass stove top all the time. It is what she uses for every thing. and now doesn't question the cost. Loves it!!

It gets very hot. Matter of fact it got so hot the first time I used it I burned the dinner I was making! I have owned several slow cookers and never had that problem! So to answer your question...Yes! I very much so believe it will simmer for makin sauces, soups, etc. Very nice slow cooker. Just a word of advice...because of the stainless steel on the outside it gets extremely hot so make sure you or nobody touches while cooking!

I have not used it as a slow cooker yet but I have read of people using it as such. The highest setting is warm so I'm not quite sure if it would get hot enough to completely cook meat (unless you let it cook in it ALL DAY but a side dish would probably be fine. I've only used it to keep things warm so far such as dips and taco meat. Sorry I cannot be of more assistance on this.

YES all digital pressure cookers can use any and all pressure cooker recipes. The pressure inside these is NOT the same but for some unknown reason they can use any and all pressure cooker recipes without any changes in time or ingredients. Trust me I know I own a Yahoo pressure cooker group with over 6000 members and everyone that has a digital cooker there agrees with me on this.

There are some limitations, but in general the Wonderbag will cook anything you would use a slow cooker for. We've even made cheesecakes in the Wonderbag! Stop by our blog for ideas: http://thewonderbag.blogspot.com/p/recipe-index.html

Dear Nina Athanasakos,Thank you for your recent inquiry. You can use the Elite 1.5 Quart Mini Slow Cooker to make anything that you would with any other slow cooker, as long as it fits. We hope this information has been helpful.

Yes, it can still be used as a traditional slow cooker! Just follow your normal 3-4 hours on high, or 6-8 on low. If using the baking or other settings, until you get used to it, follow the cookbook that came with it, or search out help on other sites.

That's a very good question, you might get on Emeril's web site and see if you can request one, I can't imagine anyone wanting to steal the booklet, it wasn't all that great. I would imagine Emeril has cook books with many more recipes than the booklet which comes packaged with the slow cooker. Good luck "bon appetit"

I bought this pot to use for small meals. Used it the first day I got it. Plugged it in....added my ingredients and by dinner time that night had delicious stew. Using it like any other crock pot so I have no idea why it says that. But you can in fact cook in it. Maybe it means you can't use it on the stove.

It has three settings: high, medium, and low. It doesn't specify a temperature but if you follow a recipe that tells which setting and the amount of time (which all slow cooker recipes do), it will come out perfect. I've been very impressed.
