Review on Instant Electric Round Dutch Oven, 6-Quart 1500W, From The Makers Of Instant Pot, 5-In-1: Braise, Slow Cook, Sear/Sauté, Cooking Pan, Food Warmer, Enameled Cast Iron, Included Receipe Book, Blue by Pamela Anderson

This small appliance has a bit of a learning curve and I had to go to the internet because the user manual is lacking. But there are many things I like about this kitchen tool:1. The saute/sear function. I made a pot roast and it was so nice to sear the meat first and then just throw in the juices and veggies. Turned out perfect. (Sear heats to 400°, so don't throw in your meat and walk away.)2. The slow cooker function heats to 203°. This is just slightly above a normal slow cooker low of 190°, which is what I like to use.*3. But if you're in a hurry or short of time, there is a Manual Mode where you can adjust the temperature higher. Just be careful: Manual Mode 2 reaches 400°.**4. Cooking time and temps can be adjusted.5. This comes with very clever silicone handle holders which you just slip on the hot handles if you need to lift the pot out--and a round silicone pad to set the hot pot upon. From kitchen to table.*Although the function says "slow cooker", like the Instant Pot, this only heats from the bottom. Put thicker, denser items on bottom and I wouldn't advise cooking without liquids included. I also stir periodically. Also, as said, if you need a higher heat, use Manual Mode.**I advise "playing around" with the different modes before adding ingredients. Adjusting times/temps took some practice and although I read there is a Manual Mode 1 & 2, I haven't found 2 yet. And don't expect the timer sound to be very audible. Typical IP volume.This all being said, the more I use it, the more I appreciate what it can do. But I still have my Slow Cooker because sometimes I want that all-around heat.
