Customer Reviews

Rated 1 out of 5 by Vcq1 from Complete Disappointment I am so very disappointed with this product! Cooking more than 3 cups of white rice is a globby, undercooked mess; the rice at the bottom of the pot is overcooked while the top is practically uncooked! The slow cook works well if I remember to stir it every hour or so! I have only used soft plastic or bamboo utensils yet the inside black finish has started peeling... have we eaten it or did it just wash away? The bottom of the inside pot has burn marks although we have only used it about 10 times since purchasing 4 months ago. Need I go on? The only thing going for this product is that it looks pretty on the counter... I expected much more from this brand and Williams-Somoma.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Fur baby mom from Will be returning Nice item, looks beautiful sitting on counter but each time you use it, you can't get the food smell out of the liner and paddles. I have washed by hand and repeatedly in the dishwasher with extra soap put it away with lid on it and when you open it back up to cook again, phew the smell. Kitchenaid's solution is to soak overnight in baking soda. Thats a nice idea and seems to work, but in my opinion, for this price, that shouldn't be necessary. I have several Kitchenaid appliances and nothing like this happens to them. Food processors and mixers never stink. This one is going back and I will go back to my old slow cooker.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jkhoen from Love this...BUT... Purchased this (with stir tower attachment) summer of 2015 and have used it many times. For the most part I love this cooker but have a few issues/concerns. Even though I use only silicone utensils, the insert has chipped. There is more chipping with each use and am concerned about flakes getting into food. On soup setting, cannot get cooker to advance to step two and three so once browning is done I must change setting to slow cook. I'm not sure if this is me or the cooker but have consulted manual and don't see any special instructions for this. Also, wish pot were larger than 4-quart and would like more recipes. I would recommend with reservations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Charles the runner from Great looking and great results! I bought this recently and have been using it weekly to make meals prior to Shabbat (Jewish holy day every Friday evening through Saturday evening). The multi-cooker cooks stews, soups and other meals to perfection and keeps them warm for us to eat for our Shabbat meals. Love that. During the rest of the week, we're able to use it to make nutritious dinners that are as tasty as they are economical. It's the best appliance purchase we've made since the Kitchen-Aid Stand Mixer!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mangopickle from Solved all my slow cooker problems I have been stymied for years with inconsistant roasts in my slow cookers. All too often the meat was overcooked with no flavor due to the low setting still being too high and essentiall boiling the meat. This slow cooker has solved that problem. I can set it at 200 degrees and 4-6 hours later have a fabulous succulent pot roast. I do not use the sear feature. I have no interest in that as I always sear my meat in a cast iron skillet. My best recipe is beef bourginon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Amy H from I Have Almost Forgotten that I Have a Stovetop Still After a year of fawning over it, I received the Multicooker for Christmas from my boyfriend. I downloaded the ecookbook and started following Kitchenaid on Pintrest to get some ideas and have been using it non-stop since. So far I have made four official Kitchenaid recipes: lamb stew, pot roast, chocolate pudding, and peanut butter granola. But with all of the settings and temperature control, it is super easy to adjust other recipes and the Multicooker makes everything faster and easier to make. (Easy poached eggs? Yes please.) The Multicooker now has a perminent spot on my counter for daily use. I might love it more than my boyfriend, but whose keeping score?

Rated 1 out of 5 by ChefFromMuppets from Waste of money, deceptive timer For all the things this cooker can do, it lacks the capability to simply turn off the cooker when the timer reaches zero. Unbelievable! This alone makes the cooker totally useless for me and I had to send it back. I do like the wide range of other options, but this missing option is a deal breaker. I wish it was communicated more clearly before buying such an expense cooker, like in a red bold blinking font on the website.

Rated 2 out of 5 by HailsBelles from Impractical This is a high priced gadget not for an experienced cook. It can do many things, but an experienced cook can do all of these things in less time and less need for attention. The searing option only allows for 4 oz. of meat or vegetables at a time. Why take the extra time to sear multiple batches for soup or stew when that can be done on your skillet or cast iron grill? The mechanical spoon mechanism is LOUD! The extra steps needed to use this appliance eliminates its usefulness. If you want a rice cooker, buy one. If you want a risotto maker, buy one. If you need to sear, buy a skillet. Do not buy this ill-equipped gadget.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Carolyn from It replaced cooking on a cooktop! I won this multi-cooker and I wasn't sure what I was unwrapping but once I used it, I was hooked. I love that I can sear a pot roast then cook it in the same pot. No messy skillet to wash. Almost anything I could cook on the cooktop, can be done in the multi-cooker and I don't have to keep wiping down the cooktop. I've tried a couple of the recipes that I downloaded and they are real winners. I do wish that it had a real cookbook with it. When I go to a potluck, I just lift the bowl out, put on the lid and away I go. What a breeze to clean with the no-stick finish. The controls are easy to operate either manually or timed. This is the best thing I've ever won.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mountain Mama from It's the little things I purchased this when my other Crockpot gave out. I started out with the intention of purchasing an All Clad, but became intrigued with this Kitchenaid product. I ultimately chose the multicooker because of the increased functionality. I have only utilized the rice and slow cooker functions at this point, and both worked like a charm. I do love the visual design and the fact I can leave it on the counter. I intend to purchase the stir tower in the near future. I have not experienced any bowl lining flaking. I do only hand wash and only use silicone tools.
