I’m very happy with this slow cooker. The design is modern and looks great on my kitchen counter. It heats evenly and cooks food thoroughly without burning, which makes everyday cooking much easier. The size is perfect for daily meals, soups, stews, and rice. I really like the programmable settings because they are simple to use and save time. The removable stoneware pot is non-stick and very easy to clean. Overall, this is a well-made, versatile cooker that performs exactly as expected. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish multi-function slow cooker. Read more
I absolutely love this Magnifique 4-Quart Programmable Casserole Slow Cooker. First of all, the design is beautiful — it looks great on the countertop and doesn’t feel bulky at all. The removable stoneware pot is excellent quality, truly nonstick, and very easy to clean. I use it for slow cooking, rice, stews, soups, and even browning before slow cooking, which is a huge plus. The 8-in-1 functions are very convenient, and the programmable settings are simple and intuitive. Everything cooks evenly, and the food comes out flavorful every time. I also really appreciate that the pot is oven safe up to 450°F — that adds so much versatility compared to regular slow cookers. The size is perfect for family meals without taking up too much space, and the included wooden spoon is a nice touch. Overall, this is a high-quality, well-made, and thoughtfully designed cooker. Definitely worth the purchase, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish and multifunctional slow cooker. Read more
Makes cooking fun again! I’ve been crock potting meals for years. My lid broke so I decided to invest in a new one. I read up on the toxic leeching from some brands and then I saw this beauty! Non toxic, cooks faster and more even than normal because of the clay pot structure. Beautiful design, color and super easy to use. I love the multifunction of one Magnifique. I can sear my tri tip then easily slow cook. Best of all, the rice cooking makes perfect rice without the mess of a traditional pot. Easy to clean, easy to store, I love it! Read more
This is the most amazing slow cooker! I currently live in a 5th wheel, and the versatility of Magnifique 4 Quart Slow cooker is saving me space, giving me multiple functions, and it even fits inside a 5th wheel oven! I’ve used the braise feature for unfrosting a pound of elk meat in about 30mins, then turned on the sauté feature to fry it for tacos that night, and keep it warm while I finished my farm chores. Bonus, it fit into my 5th wheel fridge. A few days later I used it for Cowboy Stew. (Pictured) Again sautéed a pound of elk meat with onions, added in my carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, corn & kielbasa with broth and some chili seasoning. It’s extremely helpful to use one container for the sauté, the cooking process, and then keeping the food warm until dinner. Again, I will pull it out of the base to cool and store this with the lid, in my small 5th wheel fridge. Tomorrow if I don’t cook, I will take the chill off by allowing it to warm at room temp for about 20mins and then putting it back into the base to heat. Currently I’ve been using the Pampered Chef Deep Dish Baker in my 5th wheel tiny oven. With Magnifique I no longer need to keep that in here. It can go to storage, since this clay baker also works, and most importantly fits in the oven. I will be testing it by baking a chicken. Now as a foodie- this is honestly the 1st free cookbook I’ve ever received where I wanted to make every single item listed. The cooking selection buttons even have an Oats setting that I can’t wait to try! In closing, the fact that this clay slow cooker is toxin free, and beautiful to boot just sends this foodie over the moon with happiness. I received this as a Birthday Gift from my husband. I couldn’t be happier! I already know I’ll be ordering another in the future. Read more
I’ve been trying to swap out all my teflon cookware for non-toxic options, so the stoneware crock was the big selling point for me. It feels very high quality and sturdy. I love that I can sear meat right in the pot before switching to slow cook mode—saves me from washing extra pans. I’ve made a beef stew and a batch of brown rice so far. The rice came out perfectly fluffy, which I didn’t expect from a multi-cooker. The 4-quart size is just right for my family of three. It does take up a bit of counter space, but since it replaces my rice cooker and old crockpot, it’s worth it. It’s also super easy to clean since the pot is removable. Definitely a win for my kitchen! Read more
Just wish it heated up faster. Everything else was ok Read more
I have been using the Magnifique 4-Quart Claypot Multi-Cooker for a few weeks now and I’m pretty happy with it. It does a lot of jobs — slow cooking, braising, even searing/sautéing — which means I can skip dragging out multiple pots. The 8 preset functions are convenient (pasta, rice, oats etc.) and I like that the stoneware insert is oven-safe up to 450°F. What works well: - The clay pot is well made and the coating is clean (no weird smells, etc.). - Clean-up is easier than I thought: the pot is dish washer safe, the shell and touch controls wipe down clean. - Looks nice on the counter; the olive exterior and matching inner pot give it a nice vibe - Comes with the extra large pot mat, so we can serve it at the table Things I’m less thrilled by: - The presets are helpful but I wish a few more customization options (time/temperature fine tuning) were easier. - The cord is on the shorter side, but it’s for children safety Overall, I think this is a solid purchase if you want one non toxic, versatile pot to do many jobs. Would recommend for families or anyone who cooks a lot of soups, stews, or one-pot meals. Read more
