Cooking with CuisneArt

I bought this for my sister in law and one for my mother for Christmas. My sister in law loves it! It's her very first toaster oven and she said she ain't going back! The kids love it as well. Very easy to use and doesn't take a lot of counter space. It's very sharp looking as well.

I don't know what guys you're hanging with, for example Hummus and eggplant as "Game day grub".  Also, don't expect to cook with the blender. It should be called prep with a blender.

Love that you can saut&eacute; and brown and slow cook all in the same pan. Worth the money.

I got a Nomiku a few months ago.  It is so easy to use.  I just clipped it to the side of my stock pot, set the temp, and was ready to make poached pears.  Such a great, easy, and affordable way to try cooking Sous Vide.  So far short ribs (my favorite), ny strip steaks, poached pears, and eggs custard have been so delicious.

Likes:  Easy to use, no other special equipment needed to get started

Helpful hints
If you have hard water like where I live you will need to give it a quick occasional clean with a bit of diluted vinegar or citric acid.  They have instructions on how to do this on the Nomiku website.

I picked the Cuisinart up at the end of December 2015.  My older brother had given me an Amazon GC and said he was sick of seeing it on the Amazon history site and my Wish List.

THE BEST ITEM I HAVE PICKED UP from Amazon.  I've nearly had a year.  It's used at least three times a week if not more.  I love the fact on weekends I just shove a bunch of stuff into it and a few hours later it's done and we can have a family meal.  My siblings and niece have all oohed and aaahed over it and the fabulous recipes I've modified for it.  I don't turn on my stove anymore.  I live in SoCal and it's been warm, warmer than normal, last thing I want to do is run the convection oven or my stove. Soups, stews, roasts, briskets, fried chicken (my family loves the "fried" chicken) I don't mind cooking anymore.  Clean up is a snap, getting the fat out of the food is fantastic.  I brown and cook in one vessel.  I've done the crock pot thing in it too.  Works like a charm.  I can get up before work, shove everything into it, add the liquid, put the lid on and set the timer.  My 91 yo mother lives with me and I have a caregiver that comes in.  So by the time lunch rolls around, there's something hot to eat and the caregiver doles it out and puts the rest away.  I use the crockpot setting on the weekends too.

I have a pressure cooker that I used to use frequently but I've found that I make more in the 4-in-1 since I really don't need to monitor it.

I'm thinking of making it my Christmas 2016 gift to my family.  It's either this or the SNAN car starter&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/SNAN-Car-Jump-Starter-12000mAh-Portable-Car-Battery-Charger-Auto-Battery-for-Emergency-and-Power-Bank-for-USB-Device/dp/B01B73UYEA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">SNAN Car Jump Starter 12000mAh Portable Car Battery Charger, Auto Battery for Emergency and Power Bank for USB Device</a>.

I have used the pot five times so far and found it very easy to use.  Each of the dishes turned out great for flavor though I did have one dish that had too much liquid.  That was me adding to much though, not the Instant Pot or the recipe.  I would highly recommend buying one if you want to have some quick great tasting meals after a long day.  The saut function works great for browning meat or veggies.

Great result with cucumber and radishes. Planning on squash for casserole. Also, sweet potato fries.

It does what it says. I could talk some more about the product but here is a recipe for rice pilaf instead.

Preheat the oven to 350.
Melt the butter in a 3-quart saucier over medium heat.
Stir in the onion, bell pepper and 2 pinches of salt.
Decrease the heat to low and sweat until the onion is translucent and aromatic but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and add the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until you smell nuts, another 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the saffron and its water, the broth, orange zest, bay leaves and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Increase the heat and bring to a boil.
OK, now the weird part: Thoroughly wet a clean towel, kill the heat, scatter the peas on top of the rice, then place the towel across the top of the saucier. Top with the lid, then fold the towel corners up over the lid.
Transfer the saucier (towel and all) to the oven and bake 15 minutes.
Remove and rest at room temperature for 15 more minutes without opening the lid.
Fish out the orange zest and bay leaves. Turn the pilaf out onto a platter, fluff with a large fork and garnish with the raisins and pistachios. Serve family-style, right in the middle of the table.

I really enjoy my insta-pot, but the default cook settings will overcook anything you put in it.  Look up times and pressure online for meats, stews, etc.

Being an Octogenarian and having cooked with charcoal, gas, wood and marine alcohol stoves am amazed how efficient this cooks and just finished prior to this email cooking a steak and fresh vegetables.
Electric grills are only allowed in our over 55  complex on the ground floor; it almost put me off getting a grill but after reading about the wattage with spherical  construction worth a try.
We have done chicken. pork chops, steaks (Filet, Sirloin) and hamburgs with fresh vegetables at the same time and they were delicious by those that ate the offerings.  There is a fall off of the heat when opening and closing but running on high it comes up to temp quickly...

i was excited to find a non teflon, but after using it did not like the way it cooked,(i don't know itf it was just the one i got or if it is standard) the cooking plate seemed thin, as the crepe cooked it would get a dark ring where the heating element was and the rest was almost white, so i returned it, ended up getting a Eurolux 12" and a Cucinapro 12", both are the same, cook very nice.

My new 6 qrt cuisinart 3-in-1 and the recipe didn't quite match so I gave it to a bachelor  friend who just bought a new slow cooker.

Nice cooker for the price and a way to cook a meal differently

Cuisinart slow cooker with timer enables working people to cook food without overcooking.  From the moment timer is set, begins cooking at selected temperature for time chosen, then switches to "warm."  A stress saver.  I wish the crock were white.

Love it - easy to use - cooks food evenly - fast clean up. An addition to my other Copper Chef pans. Highly recommend.

Just got it yesterday.  So far made a pork shoulder roast (never made one before) and it just fell apart was very good.  Today I made homemade French rolls in it they were delicious nice crunchy crust and soft in the inside.  Made a French bread also but have not cut into it yet.  Will be trying a pineapple upside down cake in it later today so far loving it.  Got it for next years vacation but plan on using it all the time.  Can't wait to try things in it.  I just wish It would have fit a 9X13 pan but I'm sure I can work around that but adjusting recipes.  Besides its just the two of us so don't need to make big things and if I do at home I will just use my regular oven.  Its super easy to use as well. I did try steaming potatoes and cabbage just did not cook it long enough will take a little getting use to using it.  Would be nice if Cuisinart would come out with a cookbook for just plain simple things.  Or at least a table chart they have a small one in the book but it does not cover everything.  Maybe what I should do is practice and make my own chart.

I love finding new ways to include these time-saving products to create dinner for the household. On the back of the package of Stove-Top Stuffing mix, I found a great recipe for "Chicken Bruschetta." Like many of my favorite recpes, it let me combine several things I already had in the kitchen to make a filling family-sized casserole in a few minutes of prep time. In later iterations, I substituted medium-heat Pace Salsa for the diced tomatoes in the recipe, and Pepper Jack cheese for the mozzarella. I've made it with cubed chicken tenders and canned chicken chunks, and it always comes out tasty.
