Would you use it for a crock pot?

I wouldn't because the lid is bladed and doesn't fit any size crock pot in my extensive collection. It's fairly useless actually. Good thing I bought two! LOL!

I have only used it to keep dips warm and don't feel the size of the crock pots lends itself to doing more than that... If you want something to use as a slow cooker, my sister-in-law got one that is a little larger (the three crock pots are oval) and I'm pretty sure it would work well.

I use this for pots but this is 9 1/4 inches but the lip I believe would not work for a crock pot.

No, it cannot be used as a heat diffuser. There is to much space between grate parts. It is designed to keep stuff in the crock pot from touching the bottom for good cooking.

Their is enough room to put two crock pots. I would think so. The shelf is adjustable. I must say I love this island.

So long as you sear your meat prior to placing it in the roaster it should work. Personally I use my crock pot for post roasts because the roaster is so large. Just remember you can't use cooking bags in the roaster either.

This is designed for pots and pans and lids. I don't believe it would work for a crockpot .

I ONLY use it for frozen food, and it works beautifully! I bought a bunch of extra inserts on the crock pot website and I will cook a big batch of something and divide it up into the individual containers. I then get it out of the freezer in the morning and put it in the crockpot still frozen at work. I put the container in at about 8:00 and it is hot and ready at noon.

you can use a crock pot and mix the solution per directions. BUT, once you use this crock pot, you can not use it again for Food. Please remember this. hope this helps you

Hi Michelle, This cooker can could be used as a normal stove top, pot, or crock pot (slow cooker) if it's lid is left off while cooking as this way the pot will not be pressurized. I must say I am extremely very happy with the Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker and would recommend it. Regards, Vince

I would. It is also nice for canning as you can put 7 pint small mouth jars in this in the rack. I wouldn't use real high heat. When canning in mine I always wash it out and dry it just like any pot I would use so that I could cook in it some day.

I feel sure that it would work fine for that, but if you were wanting to be able to raise it up and out of the crockpot with the meat on it, be aware that there are no handles on it.

I own one of these. It could end up being messy using it in a crockpot. The chances are high of the handles ending up in the drippings. If you can see your way past that and fish them out, it would work. When I use it with a turkey the handles hang outside the pan and drippings.

I would not waste my time with it. We just tossed it in the trash and purchased a completely different crockpot.

I wouldn't cook the soup in it- not a crock pot type warmer. It does heat up soup to an almost boil, but not for that intention I don't believe. Great for keeping hot.

It certainly is a large crock pot. I guess it would depend on the amount you need to have on hand.

I wouldn't try it. This is pretty flimsy compared to the Presto I had for 30 or 40 years. I would suggest using a crock pot if you don't want to put it in a conventional oven.
