Crock-Pot has joined the electric pressure cooker revolution with their new Crock-Pot Express Pressure Cooker \/ Multi-Cooker. The Crock-Pot brand has become synonymous with slow cooker and now you can also pressure cook in a Crockpot. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:\u00a0<\/strong>This review discusses the older version of the Crock-Pot Express, which doesn’t not have a manual button. If you’re looking for the newer version, we’ll have a review up soon.<\/em>

Also, if you do have the older CrockPot Express, be aware that there is a recall for the lids on certain models<\/strong>. Click here to read more about the recall<\/a>, including how to check if it applies to your model and on how to receive a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Target recently had the Crock-Pot Express on sale for $49, so I couldn’t resist buying it and taking it home for a test drive. (Regularly price at $69.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Crock-Pot Express comes with a recipe book, steaming rack, and serving spoon. It has a 6 quart non-stick cooking pot for easy cleanup. The inner pot is dishwasher safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Crock-Pot Express Crock Multi-Cooker<\/a> is not a top of the line pressure cooker, but it is a well made pressure cooker and an affordable option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was impressed with how quickly and quietly the Crock-Pot Express comes to pressure. It’s getting great reviews on Amazon as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Use the Crock-Pot Express Crock Pressure Cooker \/ Multi-Cooker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It has 9 pre-set pressure cooker buttons Meat\/Stew, Beans\/Chili, Rice\/Risotto, Yogurt, Poultry, Dessert, Soup, Multigrain, and Steam.  In addition to the Slow Cook, Brown \/ Saut\u00e9, and Keep Warm  buttons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHICH BUTTON SHOULD I USE?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The multi cooker does not know what is in your pot. It doesn’t know how much it weighs, nor how long it will take to cook it. The buttons are just pre-set, suggested times for cooking that item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can cook chicken soup using the soup button, the poultry button, or the meat button.  It doesn\u2019t matter which button you use, chose the button with the closest cook time to the time in the recipe you’re using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You adjust the pre-set times by using the “+” and “-” time select buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
