Can you cook stews, chowders, and small chicken dishes ?

Yes you can. But like I mentioned in my review, the bowl is concaved, so it's hard to sauté garlic/onions in the beginning. But yes you can cook stews, chowders and small chicken dishes.

So far, I've only used the Breville Risotto/Rice cooker to make risottos and cook rice. I'm assuming, since there is a recipe book for other items, that you can cook those, too. It seems that this appliance will do anything any slow cooker will do, and I plan to try slow cooker recipes in it in the future.

you can cook meet but i will not advise to cook a full chicken. Saussage or small part of a chicken is ok. you cannot add butter or oil so it is cook only by steam

While you cannot fit a whole chicken in there, you can put in chicken parts and your veggies and make a lovely soup for two.I find this pot very handy and have made soup this way.

Yes. Especially if you are a big eater. If not, pour some in a zip-lock bag and then reuse the Mountain House bag to cook the other portion.

Yes, you can. I have cooked everything from rice to fresh vegetables in mine. I absolutely love mine.

Karen, I think so, although I've never cooked those particular items in this slow cooker. However, I have cooked a bone-in 3 lb. pork shoulder roast in it with no problem

I would contact All-Clad via internet or a dealer and ask them. I have the set shown here, but in truth, we have just cook soups and stews in it so far.

Perhaps you could find a way to somewhat mimic browning or sauteeing, but generally speaking I would say no and the users manual discusses rice, soup. Congee, Porridge (or easy processed foods), Cake, Bone (for making stews), and braising of chicken/meat but nothing in regard to browning or sauteeing.

Yes, I think you could put veggies in with a turkey. This cooker is very impressive. I was leary about it at first but the turkey breast I did was awesome.

Absolutely --- any recipe you'd like. Just make sure to cut the cooking time by 1/3.

Yes. These pans are versatile for small portions. For example, Spanish Garlicky Shrimp as an appetizer from start to finish. Or use them as an individual serving dish for braised lamb shanks cooked in your favorite braising pot. Or mix the pans with clay cooking or serving dishes for side dishes.

Yes. I even use it to cook chicken thighs, chicken breast, pork chops, and fries.

Yes. Cook with a little more water than it calls for and it will be very mashable.

I have used mine for stews, and once you have seasoned and cured? Your wok per the attached instructions you should be able to cook anything in it. I have used tomatoes in mine and haven't had any problems.

you can steam chicken (on a plate) and fish (on a plate) but I have not yet tried steaming rice. Sorry.

In the past, I have used it for macaroni and cheese, and pasta. I am pretty sure you can use for other stuff like chicken and stew.

It will cook anything you put in it, but a couple of problems: 1) It does a poor job of getting to and maintaining fry temperature; mine couldn't get past 340, and quickly dropped lower when food was added. 2) It's a lot smaller than the advert pics imply; those must be pigmy chickens they show. Mine wouldn't hold more than 4 drumsticks (chicken). I returned mine, and now I use a dutch oven. It isn't automatic, but it cooks.
