Pressure Cookers & Rice Cookers

Electric countertop slow cookers and Crock-Pots simmer ingredients at a low temperature over several hours. Slow cookers are versatile & cost-effective. There’s no temperature guesswork—just place ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning & come home to a hot and easy meal.

Pressure cooking works by boiling water or broth with food inside a locked pot. High-temperature steam quickly cooks the food 2 to 6 times faster than regular cooking. Stand-alone electric cookers include Instant Pot, which has a stainless-steel pot, slow-cook function and delay timer.

A multicooker is an electric countertop appliance that uses a timer to simmer, boil, steam, bake, grill, fry, roast, stew & brown foods quickly or slowly. Some have adjustable thermostats, delayed cook times and food-guide buttons, and can also act as food warmers.

The sous vide cooking method involves heating food, sealed in a plastic pouch, in a water bath on the stovetop or countertop for long periods of time at a consistent, low temperature. This method cooks food evenly and helps retain moisture, inside and out.
