- Hi Guys, today I’m reviewing the Crock-Pot Express Crock Multi-Cooker. LINK to Crock-Pot: amzn.to/3tVAQup
RECIPE: anitacooks.com/recipe/lamb-cu...
RECIPE Video: • Lamb Curry Recipe
The pot is non-stick so use heat proof plastic or wooden spoons so you don’t scratch the surface. The max line is at ⅔ full, don’t fill above it. If you’re using foods that expand when cooking like rice or beans, don’t fill the pot more than halfway. For the unit to pressure cook, you’ll need at least 8 ounces of water in the pot.
You saw how the cooker performed on steaming beans, cooking rice and making lamb curry.
I hope you found this review useful. Please subscribe and I’ll see you next time. - Jak na to + styl
I've just bought one..I never used pressure cooker or slow cooker...so this video is very helpful for me ..
How was it? I’m just a kid who copped this and I have no idea y I purchased this.. 😂😂
See above post on the recall.
Thank you for the thorough review! I've had mine for over a year and never used it to cook rice. Now I can try out all of those rice cooker recipes I have!
Thank you so much for your review. I’ve just ordered one and have always been nervous about the old style pressure cookers but decided to finally take the leap with an electric one. Your calm, clear instructions have given me confidence that I could do this. Really appreciate it
Glad it was helpful 🤩
We r having kitchen extension done and I bought one of these and can't stop watching new recipes and review everyday to make the most of it .thank you.
I am considering buying one of these pots, but I wanted to see a review of how it works...I watched your video and I don't think I need to go any further with research. Great job
Thanks 👍😀
This is a good one it's only $50 at Target
One of the best instructional video on the how to use the unit. I have one that was only used once and the manual . After searching through all the instant pot videos I found yours! Now I can't wait to use it.
So helpful! I have had my pot for 6 months and finally decided to use it; as a visual learner this video was much more helpful than the instruction booklet. The last experience I had 15 years using a pressure canner did not end well! :). I am sure dinner tonight will be much more successful!
Glad it was helpful 😀
Thank you for this awesome demo review. I just bought my mom this particular express crock multi cooker
Glad you liked the review 😀
Thank you for you review. I just recently got this same pot and still learning on how to use it.
Thanks for sharing 😀
One of the best demonstration videos I’ve ever seen. I can cook with so much confidence now. Thanks! :)
😀
I just bought this for $29.99 at best buy on their daily deals. That's a steal. Thanks for the video. Seems a little scary with the pressure but not so scary now
Thanks for making this video. Very straight forward and easy to follow. If only more videos were this easy to follow.
I bought this exact crock-pot and was so concerned with all the instant pot reviews and videos on youtube if I've made the right decision... your video was so useful and well-explained! Thank you :D
Hi Sara, glad to know the review was helpful 😀
🇬🇧 I purchased one earlier this week, it's brilliant. The instructions let it down in the booklet but i have had a stove top pressure cooker for over 40 years so it was easy to pick up how to use the new one.
Your video was excellent 🇬🇧
Thank you for explaining everything in a very comprehensive way. I read instructions but was very confused.
😀👍
I went to John Lewis in London to buy one of these today but I did hesitate as I never used pressure cooker and I’m so scared , but after watching your video I feel much more confident and I think I’m going to get one. Being full time mum and working also it’s a challenge so I really need on of these .
Thanks for you review
So glad I checked your channel 🙏🙏🙏
😁👍
Well I finally used the pot last night, I fixed a steak that my wife called a roast and two baked potatoes,they were delicious,john
you've improve a lot. your reviews were already the best. now, you're the best-est.
😀
.......Yassssss finally a tutorial on this unit instead of InstaPot. I received this gift for my 50th birthday and LOVE ITTTTTTT!! Easy to use and I recommend it to others if you are looking for a crockpot or pressure cooker.. ITS ROCKS! Thanks for the great video too :-)
Glad it was helpful 😀👍
Indeed!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I just bought one of these at Costco yesterday. This video was very helpful! Thank you!
Great 👍
I have my crockpot and has been a bit scared to use it again. The first time i asked my husband to help me step by step. Now watching your channel is a really big help and i cant wait to try it again tomorrow!
👍😀
Straight to the point, more videos like this, thanks
Pro trick: you can watch series on Kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Jakob Joshua Definitely, I have been using flixzone} for since december myself =)
Excellent review! Have my crockpot for a while, and absolutely love it! Thank you so much for helping me!
Glad it was helpful 😀👍
i just this pot. Your explanation made it super easy for me to follow without doing heavy reading. Thank you for your clear presentation
Love this review!!! Thanks for being so in depth and for the demos!!! It really helped me
Glad it helped, Olivia :)
Thank you. You answered the questions i had about cleaning which concerned me really.
👍😀
i just got this pot. Your explanation made it super easy for me to follow without doing heavy reading. Thank you for your clear presentation
🤩
Thank you for having such an insightful and in-depth review of this cooker and its functions! This settles the debate for Crockpot vs Instant Pot for me, Crockpot is the winner.
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful 😀
Thanks a lot for this review. It was very helpful to me
This is so clear, concise and to the point. Also the video quality is truly excellent. Information is clearly explained. Many thanks. 😀
this video was SO helpful, thank you SO much,,, i got one for xmas and was scared to use it, but now im ready..thanks again
Wonderful 😀👍
Haha same!
I also own one and like to "play" with it, everything came out awesome so far. Thank you, great video.
Thanks :)
Love ur way of telling it as it should be
Thanks for that great review! One addition though: Make sure not to expose your kitchen furniture to the steam (as shown in the video). Over time it can cause the wood to swell and produce damages that are very hard to repair.
Thanks for sharing 😀
@@bestkitchenreviews We only got our steam cooker yesterday. However I managed to damage one of the wall units with the milk steamer of my espresso machine. I used it at least twice per day. I assume there shouldn't be much risk in exposing the furniture to steam if you do it less often and wipe off the condensed water afterwards.
@@bestkitchenreviews
but why does the keep warm function count up after the food is done?
I was cooking a whole chicken and I pushed poultry and it set the time for 15 minutes and after that I didn't touch it and it automatically went to keep warm and I keep seeing it climb up on the timer the owner's manual says that it'll keep warm for 4 hours and then shut off.🤷♀️
Yes, I thought the same! But, was amazing review!
@@bestkitchenreviews THank you for the review!
I just wanted to say thank you for this review. The pressure release valve being so loose and off concerned me the item was faulty right out the package. Good review!
😀👍
Thank you - this made it so much easier to use my pot!
I just received this as a gift. Glad there are instructional videos. Thank you for sharing 🌞🌞🌞
Found the video really useful. I bought my Crock Pot Multi Cooker about 2 months ago and it has been sitting on my kitchen worktop as I have not yet read the instructions. However after seeing your video I will be trying it today for the first time. Thanks for a really easy to understand introduction and demonstration.
Glad it was helpful, Jon :)
Excellent review. Covers a lot of ground associated with this appliance. No mucking about. Good clear overview. Just what is needed when researching potential cooking appliances.
Thanks.
I’m going to go out and buy one of these, I’ve been dithering too long about whether to buy one or not. You made is look so easy
jean405 it’s amazing I got one two days ago and regret not getting it sooner.
I have had this one for a couple years and I love it. The rack at the bottom is wonderful.
Hi, how is your experience during this 5 months?
Sorry forgot to say, best bit is you really cover the detail, which many others don't, simple points like how long it takes for pressure to build etc. many tks again!
Glad you liked it 😁
Best video I have seen in a long time. Direct and to the point, perfect. Thanks and continue to do what you do.
Thanks 👍😁
Got one of these for Christmas. Hoping it becomes very usef6in my kitchen.
Really great demo. I have been contemplating whether I need one of these and this has convinced me. Thanks, so much!
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful 😀
I love my crockpot express me and mom decided to try to make are green beans with onions and ham and it usally takes all day to cook but the crockpot did it in 3 minutes and it tasted as it cooked all day I really recommend it for gifts this Christmas for that cook in your life
Thanks for sharing 😀
Excellent review. I was excited but scared. Hid behind my worktop lol
After watching your video I feel relieved and looking forward to cooking 😊
Great to hear!

Awesome review! 🔥🔥🔥 You're very good at explaining the process.

Great 12 min Video and Im Ready for my First Try dinner in Crock Pot Express Yay!
Great review. Just picked up the 6 qt unit at my local Bed Bath & Beyond store marked down. Thanks for being specific & keeping the review interesting. I will be trying it out today.
😀👍
Thank you for your review. It’s very informative. Could you keep posting recipes using this pressure cooker, main dishes as well as side dishes? Thank you!
Hi, Glad you liked the review! There are several recipes using pressure cookers that I've posted, you can use them with this Crock-Pot. Please view them here: czcams.com/video/k6-6nnbLJmM/video.html
Excellent review and basic instructions. The food looks delicious. Thanks you so much.
You’re welcome! 😀
Thank you so much This was my first time using the crockpot and especially this one I wasn’t really sure of how it worked .You made it so easy to understand I’m making ox tail so first I had it on slow cooker and then I switched to pressure instead.I really appreciate your input and made it so easy to follow thank you.
Glad it was helpful 😁👍
.iuniversal pressure cooker
@@bestkitchenreviews oh yes that was a year ago lol I got the hang of it now . Happy Holiday it’s almost Christmas 2021 Cheers ❄️❄️❄️
just got the 6QT Multi-Cooker today. Your video helped me a lot. I am now cooking my favorite dish--- oxtail soup. Thank You very much.
👍😀
@@bestkitchenreviews 🙏💖
Perfect review! Thank you very much. You did an excellent job.
So much so that I went to the shops and bought it an hour ago hahaha so you can contact the company and ask them for a commission :)
This is my very first time with a pressure cooker I never had a pressure cooker before but oh boy I'm going to love it thank you y'all for pressure cooking thank you so much I'm about 10 of them I'm just crazy about pressure cooker you got to love it no more using that stove no more using that oven is pressure cook time and you will love it for real Trail no joking around get that pressure cooker you will love it I guarantee it
Thank you! I have been afraid to use this gift I received almost 9 months ago....the whole steam thing was a little scary BUT If only I had looked for this video 9 months ago! After watching your video, I was empowered! Just made a yummy chicken dish. You are wonderful!
Glad it was helpful!😀
You are a lifesaver! I just received this unit yesterday - looked at it and thought; “Oh noooo! I need a degree from MIT to figure out how to use this thing! “ I looked at for like 10 min and decided to look at it again tomorrow! The instruction booklet is overwhelming. Plus, I’ve never used a pressure cooker before and they make me nervous (horror stories about the ones our parents uses). This video is so extremely helpful. Thank you again for demystifying this piece. It no doubt will be an excellent kitchen tool! Oh ...can crockpot liners be used with this for easier clean-up? Thank you.
Hi, I’m glad the video was helpful! I’m not sure about the liner but I don’t think it’s a good idea in a pressure cooker. 😀
bestkitchenreviews ...Oh no, I meant using the liners for the slow cooking function. Now that I think of it, they may not work since the cooking pot is metal and not crockware. The liners make cleanup so amazingly easy, I’ll miss that convenience. Thanks again!
This is super easy to clean because it's nonstick. No need for a liner.
I just received mine today and I felt exactly the way you did. I looked at the owner guide, got overwhelmed, put it down, went back after about an hour, put it down again and then hoped for a video to help me!!!!
Hi Lark, when I bought my unit at Target I bought a "OXO Softworks, Silicone Pressure Sling" and it says it is heat resistant, and it fits under the pot (the one you cook food in) and will lift the food out of the pressure cooker. I would go to Target nd check it out. I also bought the Instant Pot Cook book for about $9 and it has a ton of recipes. I do have to say tonight is my first time cooking in it and I did not use the sling. I will use it after I lift the pot out of the heating part. I have never used a pressure cooker before and I want to side on being smart. In fact I wouldn't use it under the pot that gets hot WHILE cooking as I am afraid #1 it would burn and #2 it wouldn't fit. My mom never used a pressure cooker so in my 60's now I am using this for the first time. I just hope it works, or I will take it back. What is a crockpot liner if I may ask. Thank you, Lark. Victoria C.
Well done for explaining function and pressure stream browning and rice but not slow cooking.
Thanks to you Anita, I'll start to use my steamer. Mine's is a totally different model, but now that you've shown a few things about it, my fear of it is dissipating.Thank you Anita x
Glad to hear it, Carol 😀👍
@@bestkitchenreviews Anita I hope & pray that you keep on doing reviews for as long as you're able to. You're the best reviewer on utube, bar none.
What a nice video this was :D Great info!!
Thaaaaaaank you soooo much. You’re the only person to clearly show which is the ‘seal’ symbol. Was sooooo frustrated.
Glad it was helpful 😀
Thanks for the great instructions. This is the only way I learn. You’re a great teacher!!!!
😁👍
u r the ultimate teacher. right to the point. ty.
The best review I've seen by far.
Thanks, David 😀
You are a life saver. All videos on utube are on cooking with an Instant Pot.....ugggg. Thank you for taking the time to bring us this video. Learned quite a few tips. How about some more videos!!!🤗
Glad it was helpful 👍😀
Just bought one. I’ve had an earlier type but this looks better, the only things is I think the wire steam rack lays too low in the pot should be higher like the old type. But they do save money on electric.
I was so excited to find your video. Just opened my Crockpot brand pressure cooker and couldn’t figure out why the release valve was all floppy. I couldn’t find anything in the documentation other than pointing out the two release settings. I wasn’t sure if I had to press and turn like a child safety lock on medicine. Watched your video and voila! Cooking pot roast, potatoes & carrots to go with Yorkshire Pudding.
Hi Jill, happy the video was helpful :)
I was the same. Really good point.
Thank you for this, I lost my instruction book. This was amazingly helpful.
👍😀
Haha me too that’s why I am here
To echo the other comments, this was a fantastic review, thanks!
👍😀
I absolutely love mine. Indian butter chicken is so amazing in it.
Thank you, so much! Great review.
You're welcome 😀
I am so very new to this. Just used mine for the 1st time yesterday to make a roast. It turned out so juicy and yummy but I was scared using my crockpot express crock. I was afraid I was misusing it. There was steam still coming out while it was cooking and I had an E6 error code come up twice. So with that happening and the steam coming out while it was cooking made me a nervous wreck. So I came to You tube to find a video to help me learn to use it. This was my first video to watch and you made me feel better about using it. Now I know I was doing it right. The E6 was I need to add more water (I think) to the roast. So THANK YOU for this video. I was so ready to take it back and stay old school cooking.
😀👍
I just got mine in the mail. Then I found your video, very helpful. Thanks
😁👍
You convinced me to buy one today for valentine's day gift!
69 people seemed to have resealed the steam release valve with their bare hands and blame it on this review although it was mentioned otherwise...
Glad it was helpful! Lol to the 69 😂
Love the Express Crock Multi Cooker thank you
You’re welcome 😀
Thank you for the demo and review
😀
Very nice! Informative and helpful, thank you!
😀
Appreciate the upload , many tks, trying to compare brands!
Thanks for sharing demo it's very helpful I learn properly
Thnx for the exellent review. Just bought the slowcooker. The steam valve is loose. You showed me that's normal.
great demo..thank you..
This was so helpful!
Thanks for this video, very helpful!!
Finally a curry explenation for the crockpot!!
this helped so much! thanks!!!!!!
Great review , very well explained .
Thanks 😀
Thank you so much. Straight & to the point. Just what I needed to know! I really love this Crock Pot Express Cooker. It makes meat so tender & juicy & tasty !
Thanks for sharing 😁
The absolute best review of this model I’ve come across. Thank you so much for this, it’s been the difference between me buying and not buying. Oh and I’m buying one! 🙏🏻👍👏
Glad you liked the review 👍😀

Ok I’m two weeks into buying my crock pot pressure cooker and I can honestly say why on earth didn’t I buy one of these before!
It’s absolutely amazing. I was a bit intimidated as pressure cookers kind of scare me. However they have come a long way since that aggressive loud stove thing my mother used to use 40 years ago! Super easy and convenient to use. Again thank you for your excellent review. It was not only the difference between buying one or not, but buying this particular model which I’m glad i did. I just wished you were an affiliate and I could have bought via you. 🙏🏻
Thank you, this helped me SO much!!
Glad it was helpful 😁
Thank you for the detailed review. I have used mine once and was nervous to do so when I did use it because I didn't want to mess anything up. Now I feel more comfortable after seeing your review. I wish this was available at the time I opened and used mine but there were not many tutorials out during that time. Cant wait to try other things
Glad you liked the review, April!
Excellent review and tutorial. Thanks! 👍
😀
Thank you. I have mine arriving tomorrow and looking forward to using it and trying different functions. Your instructions about the steamer are very helpful, although I will probably use the slow cooker most.
Glad it was helpful!
So helpful, thank you!
I purchased my cooker in the UK from a reputable company and I am surprised to find that my cooker does not have the facility to pop the lid on. My handles are flush. Apart from that all the same. My favourite thing to cook is hard boiled eggs. So easy and come out perfect every time. I do a bunch of 6 / 8 and keep them in the fridge after cooking in a plastic sealable bag , shells intact, for up to 7 days. Thank you for your video , pity I had not found it about 3 weeks ago. You have explained everything.
Hi, how do you boil them? With pressure or just as "steamer" or what? How many minutes etc? Thank you!
Amazing review I love my express cooker
👍😀
Thank you so much for this video. I just got my Crock Pot, today! I will follow your instructions. Please tell me how do you know when to adjust the time, like you did for the curry dish? Thank you, again 🌷
I've just ordered my Crock-Pot Express Multi-Cooker and it should be delivered in a couple of days! I'm from Sweden and I've been curious about these modern pressure cookers for a couple of years now. The one that initially caught my attention was the Instant Pot, but for some reason that brand haven't really found its way to the European market - apparently there are Instant Pots in UK, but there haven't been any available for delivery for months now. So after some further research I decided to go for the Crock-Pot version instead. This video was indeed promising and inspiring! I don't eat meat, so unfortunately I will not be able to enjoy that particular advantage with pressure-cooking, but hopefully I can find many vegetarian and fish dishes that will benefit from this device!
Hi, thanks for sharing! There are many lentil/rice based vegetarian recipes you can find on youtube for pressure cookers. Enjoy :)
Me, living in Norway, have had the exact same problem as you. I am buying this one, instead.
