I have made pork roast and another crock pot type meal (I've forgotten now) and they were DELICIOUS. My crock pot cracked last winter and I haven't replaced it because I can cook meals in this for a fraction of the time than I could in a crock pot. I'd plan on a good meal to take almost 2 hours with the heating up/building up pressure/cooking/bringing down pressure. And I'm pretty sure I put in my roast when it was frozen.

From Sidney - I never have used it for a regular pressure cooker, but I don't see any reason why you can't. The instructions have recipes for cooking in the All-American. It's a nice pressure canner, you will like it if you get one.

Unequivocally NO. That would be dangerous. You need an actual pressure fryer to do this. And they are available. Do a Google search (or Amazon).

Yes,..If the pressure cooker is Oval and holds 6qts. Or more. It's thick material and easy to clean when soaked.

Throw this crap away before you hurt yourself or family members. Obviously, you used it before and now need parts. You may not be that lucky this time. Throw it away or use it alternately to cook with and not as a pressure cooker. Good Luck..

Manufacturer claimed you can but I never tried. In my case it never worked as the pressure smoker. Lid never sealed proper.

I dont know, but i doubt it. This pressure cooker sautes and everything else. Why would anybody need an additional pot besides the one which is removable?

Good question, but I don't know the answer, it is not mentioned in the user manual, I have been using this type of pressure cook for over 3 years, very safe, no incident ever occured to me.

Sure you can. You would, I believe, just use the canner without making the pressure lid closed. It can act like any pan if you don't secure the pressure lid.

NO you cannot pressure fry in any regular pressure cooker it is dangerous! You need a very special pressure fryer and they cost over $300

This is pressure cooker with the heavy bottom so, you should not have any problem. But remember that it is not a frying pan.

It's a great pressure cooker that I have ever used. I can cook dishes faster, but taste better. I love it!

Yes, and it works just .....great! You may have to figure out your set point after you meet your PSI; but that is simple and seems to work for all the cooking I have completed!! GREAT PRODUCT....I RECOMMEND IT TO ALL!!!!

I guess you can steam in the pressure cooker but timing will be VERY tricky in my opinion. Use a covered Corningware in your microwave preferably.

If you use a microwave use it as a bowl in which to microwave veggies or anything else for that matter. I do NOT use it as a pressure cooker. You can cook pasta in it. Just cover the pasta with plenty of water and microwave for about the same time it says on the pasta box.

Yes. I cook chicken and rice in it all the time in my electric pressure cooker.

Yes you can. The charring rod only activates when you are smoking. Otherwise the main element gets hot, and cooks like any other pressure cooker.
