Can this rice cooker be used as a slow cooker?

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.

Glad I saw your question. I just cooked a great dinner in it as a slow cooker and it worked fine. The first time I've used it that way. Usually I use it as a roaster on a much higher temperature and it's great for soups, stews, and the like. I LOVE mine - and recently replaced one I had had for 20 years because it is a staple at my house. It's my favorite gift for new brides and of course, all my family members have one.

Yes you can even though that is not the purpose of a pressure cooker. The best use for this would be to cook meat/vegetable/rice faster with the build up of steam inside.

I don't see why not. although it would take some prep--(1) If you work conventional hours, you'd probably have to put dinner up to cook before you go to work (and how nice to come home to an already slow-cooked dinner!) and (2) If you were cooking for 1 or 2, you'd eventually be overwhelmed with leftovers (recipes typically feed more than 4 in order for slow cooker to be appropriately full). (3) You'd probably eventually kill for a broiled or roasted meal. Hope that helps!

No. It's not designed for that kind of equipment. A rice cooker is going to be a high wattage/high drain item. This smaller unit is designed for such things as laptops, radios, small lights (LED, ideally), etc.

Karen, I think so, although I've never cooked those particular items in this slow cooker. However, I have cooked a bone-in 3 lb. pork shoulder roast in it with no problem

I don't know the answer because so far I have only used mine as a rice cooker. I LOVE it for cooking rice. Sorry no answer.

I have never tried to use the cooker in the way you describe. In my opinion, the machine is not designed or intended to be used as a slow cooker for an extended length of time. For such an application, you would be better off with an appliance designed for slow cooking such as a crock pot. I would not leave the BergHoff unattended for a long period of time, especially when temperature control is important. Glen

I have not tried it in a rice cooker, but it cooks up the same a regular rice so I am sure it will cook fine in a rice cooker.

Yes.. You can.It is a mini rice cooker. You may have to soak it a few minutes depending on how hard it is.

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.

We have only used ours to cook rice. I would not try to use it as a pressure cooker for anything other than rice. Have you tried to find an owners manual online for this or a similar rice cooker? That may provide better information on what you can and cant use this for.

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

I have used this pot on electrical stove and gas stove. I don't think it is problem on ceramic stove as long as you use it on low heat. You should use it as a slow cooker.

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!
