All-Clad Electric Dutch Oven, 5 quart

This is my second slow cooker from All-Clad. Love them both. I enjoy cooking in dutch ovens. This slow cooker will manage my dutch oven for me with all the electric features. I can transition my cooking from slow cooker to oven to stove top! The slow cooker is beautiful on my counter space, that brings me joy.

Great product! Makes slow cooker food taste so much better.

I really love this slow cooker and while it is my favorite slow cooker, I gave it 4 stars. The outside of the Dutch oven insert is enamel coated but the inside is not. It has to be seasoned like regular cast-iron. Season like any cast iron … a thin (THIN!!) layer of oil or shortening on all cast iron surfaces then put it in the oven UPSIDE-DOWN (put foil on a lower rack to catch drips) at 350° for 1-2 hours and allow to cool slowly (I turn off the oven and let it slowly cool). This process has to be re-performed from time to time. Typically at least once per year but anytime you cook something acidic (tomato-based sauces, etc.) the acids will eat away at the seasoning and you should re-season it. Had it been enameled on the inside … this would not be necessary and it would make for a much more versatile appliance. I would easily have given it 5 stars for this. (So a little regular maintenance but still a great product.) With that aside … I LOVE LOVE LOVE that I can start all my ingredients on the stove (and yes it works great on induction cook-tops) then move them to the slow-cooker base for the rest of the cook. One pot … very little clean-up needed.

Sure glad I have upgraded my old slow cooker with this new appliance! Cooks and cleans up great.

Best Combination I've found. Loving it so far. Been using several times a week over the last month.

It is horrible. Returned immediately upon receipt. The cast iron pot is too heavy even empty. Can't go in the dishwasher. Not easy to clean. The pot doesn't sit all the way into the outer heater. You can burn your fingers. I love All-Claf and have a lot of it. But not this item.

Extremely heavy cast-iron pot and lid. So far I have had no problems with this slow cooker from All-Clad. Since I have only used it two times since I purchased it, it performs as I would have expected it. However, my beef ribs are much better on my Traeger. I will not try to perfect beef ribs in the All-Clad. I have learned overtime that it takes patience to learn proper techniques for the different styles of cooking. Overall, I am satisfied.

Fast to heat up! Heavy duty! Easy to clean. You can keep it warm.

I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this thing. I own a crockpot and an Instant Pot. I always wanted a Dutch Oven but never got around to buying one. Then this came into my life. I love the versatility of it! I can use the electric stand and use it as a crockpot or I can take the Dutch Oven out and use it on the stovetop/in the oven. This has replaced my crockpot and all of my large soup pots with how easy it is to use and clean. I highly recommend this to ANYONE!
