Can it make beef stew or chicken soup?

It has some included recipes in the manual. I believe chicken soup was in that list of included recipes. However, using the "multi-cook" mode, I don't see why you couldn't cook anything in this rice cooker.

Absolutely --- any recipe you'd like. Just make sure to cut the cooking time by 1/3.

I'm sure it will. I haven't tried that yet, but I entend to. I bet it would be delicious baked on a low heat with some chicken broth for about 3 hours. I know roasts are wonderful!

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

Did you use the stainless pot? I have never tried making soup with it - just rice and steam (buns, left overs, eggs, meat etc). I don't think it would be good to make soup because soups usually take hours and the water outside the stainless inner pot will dry out before the soup is ready. You can make congee with it but soup is probably better with regular pot or a croakpot. Hope that helps.

In the past, I have used it for macaroni and cheese, and pasta. I am pretty sure you can use for other stuff like chicken and stew.

I have only cooked beans in it but you should be able to cook a small roast. Not sure about a whole chicken - could be tight.

It probably could be done If you choose to use it like a giant crock pot. I feel you should brown the beef before putting it in. It really is a roaster and as such may not give you the results you want on the first try. But to create a very large stew it most likely would work.

Yes, the chicken is cooked. Can be used in soups, salad or any dish you wish to make with chicken. Try it!

It can pressure cook some other foods. Beans are done well in this machine. Soup is fun to make in a rice cooker. If you are asking if there is a function on the menu for meat, the answer is no. If you are asking if people do it or its possible, the answer is yes. I hope this helps.

This works just like a slow cooker except that it is clay lined. You could certainly make broth with it but you may have to restart it.

I have used it to make beef stew. It has a nice, heavy bottom and does a good job browning meat. I especially like it for pasta since it has a handle.

While you cannot fit a whole chicken in there, you can put in chicken parts and your veggies and make a lovely soup for two.I find this pot very handy and have made soup this way.

Interesting question! I do not think I would do this. The instructions that come with the rice cooker do not address using this for long term cooking. Would stick with a crock pot for a stew. Crock pots have thicker sides and would hold the heat better, I would think.

I suppose you could but wouldn't be best suited for that purpose. I wouldn't. It is more of a devise to cook meats. I don't eat much beef but basically use it for chicken breasts; pork chops, salmon and fish. It does great. I haven't had a stove hooked up for 3 years. I have a toaster oven, microwave, nuwave pic and the nuwave mini. It does it for me as a single person who lives alone. It is really a cooker; not like a toaster oven so wouldn't make toast in it.

If your main objective is to put spices in a mesh to perfume your stocks, this is not the item to do the best job. Altho' many herbs and spices will stay inside the soupsock, it is way too large for that as a primary use; the soup sock stretches to hold a 5 lb chicken! With this think meats, not herbs. Use cheesecloth cut down to minute size for peppercorns.
