GreenPanElite 8 - in -1 Programmable 6QT Electric Slow Cooker, Dishwasher Safe Lid & Removable Crock, PFAS-Free Healthy Ceramic Nonstick Multi-Cooker, Sear, Sauté/Brown, Steam Basket, Roast, White

I purchased 2 other less expensive slow cookers before this and returned both. This slow cooked is very well made. It’s a substantial piece and cooks foods evenly and at the correct temperature. The sauce function is great and helps flavor dishes with onions and meats. I’ve only used the steam function once but it works well as long as you put enough water in. The coating of the pan itself makes cleaning up really easy. I recommend using only wooden or silicon to stir so it doesn’t scratch the pan. I love this and use it multiple times a week to cook dinners for my family of 4. We always end up with leftovers because it’s a generous size.

As a family always on the go, we depend heavily on our slow cooker to have meals ready in a pinch. When our previous slow cooker finally gave out, we began searching for a replacement and stumbled upon the GreenPan Elite 8-in-1 Programmable 6-Quart Electric Slow Cooker.At first, we were apprehensive about spending $250 on a slow cooker, despite its promising marketing and sleek design. However, I cannot begin to express how pleased we are with this product. The GreenPan Elite has proven to be worth every penny and then some.This slow cooker is incredibly versatile, allowing us to prepare a wide variety of meals effortlessly. Its programmable features make it easy to set cooking times and temperatures, ensuring perfect results every time. The 6-quart capacity is ideal for our family, accommodating everything from weeknight dinners to larger gatherings.One of the standout features is the quality of the materials and construction. The GreenPan Elite feels durable and reliable, with a non-stick ceramic coating that makes clean-up a breeze. The design is not only functional but also adds a touch of elegance to our kitchen.If you are considering this item, I highly recommend it! You will be so happy you did. This is such a great product—I cannot recommend it enough. For any busy family or anyone who loves the convenience of slow cooking, the GreenPan Elite 8-in-1 Programmable Slow Cooker is a must-buy!

We got one of these to replace an instant pot that, while more versatile, didn’t work very well as just a slow cooker. While the Instant Pot could also function as a pressure cooker, its low heat setting wasn’t adequate for getting good results as a slow cooker.This one is just a dedicated slow cooker that has worked great for things like soups, stews, chilis, etc. And it has a higher heat function available to braise the meat or vegetables in the same pot before adding the stock and the rest of the ingredients. This is super convenient and makes it much more of a one-pot solution than some of the cheaper options.It has some lengthy timed heat options, is simple and easy to use, looks and feels great with high perceived quality, and everything has come out really well in it so far.And as you’d expect from Greenpan, the highlight of this product is the ceramic crock pot itself. It’s removable for super easy cleaning, and it acts as non stick as any Teflon coating. I think it may be dishwasher safe, though we hand wash this, since it’s so easy and quick to do so. I don’t know if you can get just the crock replaced if it’s broken or worn, so it would be wise to be gentle with it to ensure a long usable life.Overall, this thing is big and heavy, but it’s been great. Worth the extra dough over the cheap budget ones, IMHO. AAA+++

I’m in my 60s, so I’ve owned my share of slow cookers—mostly the ubiquitous OG Crock Pot brand. They did the job, but essentially required searing & prepping separately before placing contents into the appliance. Often I felt the food was mostly steamed and kind of insipid looking upon removal, unless it was a soup dish. Additionally, I never cared much for the look of them.I’ve been watching and following for a while now the new, more versatile entries into the market. I’ve especially been waiting for a ceramic non-stick surface slow cooker with good reviews. Another selling point is that this is a beautiful appliance that fits in well with a modern, contemporary kitchen.It was also quite important to me that this slow cooker has a sear feature, which means I no longer need to perform that function in a separate skillet that I then need to wash. I like that it has a “steam” function if I choose to do so.The negatives: As others have mentioned, it doesn’t have a good lid seal, which any slow cooker really should have. I’ve not found that it has had a deal breaker effect, but if Green Pan is paying attention, they truly should upgrade this. It does have a lid rest on the rear, so that was an acceptable tradeoff in my tiny kitchen, although that shouldn’t need to be the choice.As others have mentioned, the control labels on the front “disappear” on the shiny chrome controls plate, especially in bright lighting, and are 100% impossible to see/read. Still not a deal breaker for me, though, but it would behoove Green Pan to address this. For solely this reason I’m subtracting 1 ⭐️

I love to cook in this. I love how I can cook meat to done then turn it over into a crockpot. It’s easy to use. The insert is dishwasher safe. With the rubber handles it makes it where you can hold it while stirring. I like how you can change the crockpot timer to 30 minute intervals. It’s sleek look makes it not an eye sore to leave sitting on counter.
