Crockpot Express Pressure Cooker | 12-in-1 Programmable Multi-Cooker | Slow Cooker | Food Steamer and Saute | 5.6 L | Energy Efficient | Stainless Steel [CSC051]

I purchased this once my big brand 18 in 1 air fryer stopped working after nearly 4 years. This is not an air fryer, nor did I expect it to be, but the main functions we used were to steam, pressure cook and bake, so this was an ideal replacement. Added bonus, it takes up much less room, while still having great capacity and looks great! The Crockpot Express is excellent as a rice cooker and for batch cooking and freezing. I travel a lot with work and having precooked rice and meals in my electric lunchbox is much healthier and budget friendly than buying prepackaged rice that contain oil and preservatives. I can cook a stew from scratch in less than an hour, and you can sear the meat in the pot. I would recommend this product!

I purchased this because I like to sauté my food before slow cooking—preferably in one pot, to save washing up. I have a new induction hob, and all the slow cookers I could find were not induction hob friendly. Amazon sells a Greenlife slow cooker, but when it arrived, it has a US plug - so I had to return that item. Then, someone on mumsnet suggested investing in a multi-cooker with saute/brown option. So I made a decision to purchase this. It comes with a recipe book and I tried the veggie / lentil stew. It says to cook on soup mode - 10 mins. I was sure there was a typo, but tried it anyway, not realising the soup function is a pressure cooker function. Anyway, it takes 10 mins for the pressure to build up, then 10 minutes cooking, then bingo. A beautiful veggie stew. I was amazed. So much tastier than slow cooking. And quicker. I used to love slow cooking, but must admit that I didn't enjoy prepping food first in the morning, then to cook all day. I was always scared of pressure cookers before, but now I have expanded my repertoire of recipes. I am converted. The only thing missing for me is that there seems to be no baking option. There is a button for desserts, but I've not tried this yet - I tried a flapjack and that was disastrous. Anyway, apart from that, well done, Crockpot. I am very happy and totally recommend this.

Bought this as a gift & hear nothing but great things about it defo would recommend worth the price

I’ve been enjoying the Crockpot Express and it’s made cooking things like stews, rice and tender meats much quicker. The pressure cooking function is particularly useful when you want a proper meal without spending hours in the kitchen. There are quite a few settings, so it took me a little while to get used to everything, and the instructions could be clearer. Overall, a very useful addition to the kitchen once you get the hang of it. I did order one and it started to leak and didn’t keep all the steam in but I quickly got a replacement and it seems fine now.

An excellent gadget. I purchased it in December 2019 and it's still going strong to this day. 4th October 2025. I use it on an almost daily basis. All the features are excellent. Especially the pressure cooker, saute and slow cooker functions. As I speak, it is slow cooking on low, a butterflied, boneless leg of lamb in thick gravy with a bouquet garni sachet to add to the flavour. It is the most versatile cooking equipment that I have ever owned. Almost daily use for 6 years bears testament to this wonderful gadget. I have never had to replace any seals pots or parts. I highly recommend it.

I waited well over a year to write a review so I had time to use my crockpot and test it’s limits. Well, let me tell you this, first: this has become an essential in my kitchen! I use it several times a week and so far, it looks like it’s going to last forever! There are so many safety system that they don’t even mention that it’s near impossible to break it. Soon as it heats up too much, it will stop and sound the alert. So no explosion or other unsavoury thing that can come with pressure cooking. The delay button and the keep warm function are fantastic tools for working parents. Pop the ingredients in, put the delay, enter the cooking program, and it will do its magic while you’re away. And when you come home with hungry kids, a hot, freshly cooked meal is waiting for you. Lifesaver doesn’t begin to qualify it! The other Thing I love about it is that my food will NEVER burn (unless I set myself up for that, I.e: not enough water for rice). I love that I can put let’s say lentils to cook, and not have to worry about it until it’s done. No watching, no stirring, no fiddling with the heat... meanwhile I can bathe the kid, spend quality time with them, read a book, watch an episode of Friends, etc... when you buy such equipment, one of the worries is that once the novelty effect wears off, it will be just one more big gadget wasting space in your cupboards. Well, fear not! That is not going to happen! That said, I need to go and make some porridge for the family... in my crockpot. And then I’ll get the soup started for tonight... in my crockpot! And tonight I’ll get some overnight slow cooked rice porridge... IN MY CROCKPOT!! So, if you haven’t gotten the hint, I love my Crockpot and I think every family in the Kingdom should have one. Heck! Get them on NHS! (This or any other similar item of other brands. I truly believe they all work the same)

I purchased this because of the many different functions and I have not been disappointed. I use it practically every day and have bought a few as gifts because I can't recommend it enough. I mainly use the pressure cooker because you can have a very decent meal within 20-25 minutes. Everything is tender and tasty when pressure cooked. This also makes the best risotto in so little time and with little effort compared to the cooker top method. There is very little this amazing gadget can't cook. It is so easy to serve from and to clean. If there were a criticism, it would be that after much use the inner metal pot needs replacing and it appears that you can't buy these separately. This means that you have to buy a whole new pressure cooker which seems a shame when it works perfectly well otherwise.

I was tired of buying tinned beans or alternatively cooking them myself for ages so I decided to treat myself to the Crock-Pot express and we haven't stopped using it. The time to cook beans is down 75% and the mess is minimal compared to how often they boil over on the cooker. Curious of how versatile the Crock-Pot really is, we have made various Indian curries, beans, lentils, soups and have discovered that it's an absolutely must-have item. It's a bit bulky to put away and store, so instead we have cleared room for it on the kitchen counter so it's conveniently located and in use at least 2-3 times a week. It cuts down cooking time, the braise function turns many recipes into one-pot recipes and cooking on busy days has never been easier. It has a slow cooking function as well so our old slow cooker. I made broth the other day, filled the pot with left-over bones from the freezer, added water and let it boil under pressure for a couple of hours - without having to check on it even once! The result was fantastic and I was very pleased not having to watch over a big pot on the cooker for 6-8 hours! I warmly recommend this item and encourage you to experiment with this incredibly versatile pressure cooker that is so much more than just a pressure cooker.

Wat een fantastisch product is dit. Het enige probleem was, dat er een Engelse stekker aan zat. Ik moest dus een andere stekker kopen, zodat ik de crockpot kon gebruiken. Heerlijke gerechten al mee gemaakt en de smaak komt veel meer tot zijn recht, dan in een normale pan. Ik zeg kopen dit fantastische product!

Terrible as was not a Crockpot brand. Had to get a refund and additionally pay for transport for return.

Nergens in de productomschrijving staat dat het een Amerikaanse stekker heeft. In Nederland onbruikbaar. Helaas artikel weer retour moeten sturen.

An essential tool for the kitchen.

So far so good. I just tried it once but was so impressed with food quality and easieness of use that I bought another one as a gift the next day. I don't know about after sale support and the such but I hope to not need it.
