is it suitable for cooking beef stew?

The short answer is "yes." I use this pot at least a couple of times each week. However, the lid that comes with the pot is only good to 350 degrees, and I have several recipes that call for temperatures of 400 and even 450. This calls for a stainless steel lid, which you can buy online or in a quality kitchen store.

Yes, I would say it's a very good idea to. Never have myself as I don't use one much, I've usually used my slow cooker for stews and chili.

It's primarily for soups and stews. It could be used for sautéing, as in sautéing ingredients for the soup/stew, but isn't supposed to be used at more than medium heat.

I would make the beef stew and then add the clear jel after you open it. I have used it in apple and peach pie filling and it turned out great.

It is my favorite pot and it has a very smooth surface. In fact the only downside is that it is a bit slippery on my gas stove, but should be fine with glass surface. You won't regret getting this pot. Nothing sticks perfect for soup and beef stew and really easy to clean.

This is a rice cooker and only has two settings which is warm and cook. It would not work soups/stews/chilies. I would recommend a 22 quart roaster oven. I know that would work great for the examples you provided.

Yes you can. But like I mentioned in my review, the bowl is concaved, so it's hard to sauté garlic/onions in the beginning. But yes you can cook stews, chowders and small chicken dishes.

I did use it for a stew once. I had it in low temperature for at least 3 hours and it worked.

Yes! I've made many sauces and stews in this pot. The tri-ply construction is in the bottom AND up the sides of the pan so you get a good consistent heat like all clad without the price tag. Good luck!

Yes, there is a recipe in the booklet for Pot Luck Beef Stew. If making a smaller amount I'd put it in a baking dish and lower the heat. Try it before you plan a dinner party!

You should be able to. We got it for cooking a rack of lamb, which is not very balanced, and had no problems.

Yes !!! Have only used it as a canner... but after looking at some of the recipes provided am rethinking this... may try cooking a roast... or try one of the other recipes.... sounds REALLY good !!!! Have fun with it !!!

It is a great pot for stews, pot roast, etc. and can go in the oven. It is a heavier pot but not as heavy as cast iron.

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 honestly couldn't say. I used it in a 350 degree oven with a turkey for several hours, and I have heard of folks using it on a grill. I would imagine it could be used at 450 degrees. I also have a large stew pot made out of granite ware that makes wonderful Irish stews.

Hi there. As far as I understand, the cooker we bought can be used for shabu shabu, with this said, should serve very well for hot pot food recipe idea, we'd like to perform with this cooker. However, yes, the directions are MIA, I also used the cooker for some steamed veggies and the smell of burned material intrigued me a lot. And, finally the strainer you can used it when you cooking ramen, noodle soup, and the meats, spices, and noodles can be thrown inside to cook al dente.

I have never done cooked ground beef but I have done cooked veggies, so you should have no problem, just make sure you fill it up only below the half way mark, better doing it in several batches than all filled up, all of course depends on the quantity you intend to make finer.... It is quite a strong machine.Edith
