Clean-up is a breeze with the Cook Central as the pot, steaming rack and glass lid are dishwasher-safe.
Multi-Functional
The first step to creating your meal with the Cook Central is selecting the cooking function.
Slow Cook
Slow cooking is perfect for foods that require long, slow simmering, such as soups, stocks, stews, and dried beans. This function is also ideal when cooking tougher and less expensive cuts of meat like shoulder and pot roast. The Slow Cook function has three temperature settings -- High, Low, and Simmer. For recipes that need to cook longer, use the Simmer and Low settings. When starting a dish later in the day, select the High setting. A 24-hour timer and automatic Keep Warm mode ensure your food is ready to eat when you are.
Steam
Steaming is one of the healthiest methods of cooking. No butter or oil is required and fewer nutrients are lost in the steaming process. To steam anything from asparagus to shrimp, insert the included steaming rack and no more than 2 quarts of water or other liquid in the cooking pot and cover with the lid. Once steaming is complete, carefully remove food from the pot with a spoon, fork or tongs and enjoy.
Brown/Sauté
Use the Brown/Sauté function as you would a skillet or sauté pan on the stovetop for a variety of recipes. Prepare a quickly sautéed skillet dish or brown food right in the pot as the first step of your family's favorite slow cooker recipe. You can use this function to reheat foods as well. Just use Brown/Sauté at 350 degrees F and stir until all ingredients are warmed through.
Once you have chosen the cooking function that best fits your recipe, simply set the desired time and temperature, and then press Start.

Cuisinart MSC-600 3-In-1 Cook Central 6-Quart Multi-Cooker: Slow Cooker, Brown/Saute, Steamer Reviews
| 88 of 91 people found the following review helpful  Fantastic Product, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Cuisinart MSC-600 3-In-1 Cook Central 6-Quart Multi-Cooker: Slow Cooker, Brown/Saute, Steamer (Kitchen) When I read about this item at Williams Sonoma I wanted to try it.They had a good price as well. I always check Amazon before buying anything. Instead of the 7 quart, i only needed the 6 quart and Amazon had that at a great price. It came really fast from the retailer-Beach Audio. Sometimes Amazon affiliated retailers send the cheapest way possible, but Beach Audio did a great job. When I got it, I used it the next day for beef stew. It was just as advertised. It worked great. I followed the instructions and it was the best stew i ever made. The whole family loved it. It is not only easy to use, but i can do all the cooking i want in one pot. I don't have to clean pots and sauce pans. The clean up is so simple and easy, and it does not take up the whole counter. What I don't understand is why this wasn't invented decades ago. It was too simple an idea for big corporations to think up I guess. 34 of 34 people found the following review helpful Miracle Cooking, By Karen (Connecticut) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Cuisinart MSC-600 3-In-1 Cook Central 6-Quart Multi-Cooker: Slow Cooker, Brown/Saute, Steamer (Kitchen) I made a pot roast with this machine...it was my first time every trying this...and it came out wonderful. I love the fact that you can braise/brown...and then slow cook all in one spot. The ability to set your own temps. if desired is a wonderful feature.The meal was enjoyed by all and clean-up was very simple. This was my forth crock pot over the years, I alway bought cheap ones...this was so worth the money. I was able to put my hands under the pot while cooking...where other pots had so much heat under them, they started to affect my counters. 46 of 51 people found the following review helpful Versatile and Effective All Purpose Cooker, By riva a astely (new haven, ct) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Cuisinart MSC-600 3-In-1 Cook Central 6-Quart Multi-Cooker: Slow Cooker, Brown/Saute, Steamer (Kitchen) I bought this cooker thinking it would mostly live in my garage and come out now and then to make slow cooker recipes. How wrong I was. I use it several times a week. Although it is a slow cooker that allows for high and low slow cooking temps, it also has a temp control (going up to 400 degrees) which allows you to brown/braise your veggies (or meat, if you eat that stuff) before slow cooking. This temp control allows me basically to cook soups and other items even at boiling temperature. So it's pretty versatile, and I've used it both as a slow cooker, and as a kind of electric pot. It's attractive, and lives on my kitchen counter (not the garage, as I'd anticipated.) The nonstick coating releases food without sticking. The handles don't get hot, and neither does the stainless seal outside (it does get warm). The black rim at the very top - where the lid sits - does get hot, but that's because its part of the pot insert. And the entire thing cleans very easily as the pot... Read more |
