does the unit brown a chicken

If used as a convection oven, alone or in combo with the microwave function, it will do things just as any hot air oven will. So, though I haven't tried it yet, I am sure that it will brown chicken when using the convection oven. I find it takes a long time to pre-heat - so unless I need a second oven, I don't use it on convection.

It is stoneware, you cannot brown in this cooker. I think the Ninja Cooker browns.

No, it's a pressure cooker. You can brown your meat and then put it in for cooking, but it's not a frying pan.

Yes. The roaster does make it brown. I did not have to transfer to the oven to brown the skin at all. It actually took alot of stress out of making Thanksgiving. There is nothing in the oven taking up space. The turkey was moist and juicy with very little fuss.

No. It is too small. Maybe a Cornish hen, but a whole chicken would overflow the oil.

haven't really had it brown on the bottom. If you are expecting it to smoke the chicken good luck. The smoking part haven't had any succes with . Also use it in an oven in the kitchen. really handy for that.

This thing gets hot, I haven't turned it up to the highest but it will brown stuff! It will get hot until it reaches the temp you put it on and then it stops for a bit until it comes back down but you can definitely brown things on this thing. We have fried chicken in it and it works beautifully!

Yes, follow the directions and it will brown then up crispy yet moist under the skin. Pretty amazing unit.

No. but may want to change the oil after you fry fish a couple times in a row and stuff that flake off like bread crumbs. Just look at the color of the oil, change when dark brown or a lot of bread crumbs or flour has fallen off your chicken, Normally the oil will begin to smell burnt and become dark for its original color.

Have not cooked brown rice in it. Any rice cooker will cook brown you just have to add extra water. Makes fluffy white rice.

I don't know, I returned mine as it did a lousy job grinding chicken, and was a mess to clean.

First, why would you want to? The cooker browns nicely but takes time to heat up. Second, if you need to brown more quickly than the cooker can do it, get out a saute pan and put the meat in the cooker once it is browned to your satisfaction.

Yes. But I would not recommend this model. This particular Granite Ware is very cheaply made and not a quality product. Despite the drawbacks, it does get the job done for any poultry items less than 3 lbs.

Mine does not display this characteristic. I oiled mine with butcher block oil when it was new and did not get any brown transfer.

The skin is not crispy. This unit steam roasts so it is different than roasting in the oven with dry heat. In the Ninja you brown the chicken first then fill the bottom of the roasting pan with liquid (water, wine, etc.) to keep the chicken moist.

Kind of. Has 2 settings white and brown. Does have delay timer, too. Great cooker for the money.
