This versatile multi-cooker simplifies combination cooking, allowing you to sear, brown, sauté or steam directly in the nonstick pot before slow-cooking. Additional cooking functions include sous vide, braise, proof and bake, and the removable pot allows you to start or finish your dish in the oven. Topped with a glass lid that holds a combination spoon/ladle/pasta fork, the 8.5-quart pot has a generous capacity for cooking for a crowd.
