Do you have to cook everything boneless, steaks, chicken, pork etc or can you leave bone in?

Good question, I used this for my salads, so I have just tried chicken, sorry.

I bought for my daughter at university. She loves it, I believe everything that she has cooked is boneless.

According to the website of the same kind of pan (Rangemate), when cooking meats with bone in just cook 1-2 minutes longer.

Yes, You can cook meat in it. There are recipes in the booklet enclosed. I never attempted cooking or pureeing meat though. But the cooking/pureeing component is easily cleaned so cooking (steaming) and then pureeing meat would be just as easy and fruit and veggies.

The absolute best turkey or chicken you'll ever eat is cooked at 200 degrees for about 18 hours (for a 15-18 pound bird). Falls off the bones, and so tender and juicy! Adjust time accordingly for whatever size bird you're cooking, but the SLOW LOW cooking is the bomb for the best meat ever!

No you don't have to cook it, I just used it with my smoothie just mixed it into it.

I agree with another comment about ribs - you would need to cut the slab. As for other meats, I have cooked a whole chicken (typical small fryer) and about a 3 to 4 lb brisket

When we do road trips we usually prepare our meal for lunch and after travelling for two hours or less you can actually start getting the aroma from the crock pot and by lunch it is very well ready to serve. Our meals usually consist of boneless meat especially chicken with oyster and chilli sauce with some veggies such as carrots, onion and garlic. One more thing that we do is cover the mouth of the pot with tin foil and then securing with the lid. Hope I have answered your questions and given you some tips.

Yes, you can do a whole chicken. You can do a whole slab of ribs (cut in half). As for pork roast just yesterday I did the smoking of a piece of fresh rear leg (2.9 kilos), completing the slow cooking process in a gas owen.

I usually use about 3 to 5 chicken breasts which I first either sear or or grill first. I then arrange the veggies (onions, fennel, carrots, eggplant, olives, preserved lemons, capers and dried fruit such as dates on the bottom. I place the chicken on top, distributed about the center. Add your favorite seasoning and/ or sauce and close the lid. Place in a preheated oven (400 deg F) for 1 hour. You can use cut up whole chicken instead of the breasts, but I would still precook or brown the chicken first, to some degree.

I have no problem getting tender meats I put water or broth in with meat and pretty much cook on high (5) for at least 5 hours. Meat is falling apart. �

I think it is best to allow meats to get to room temp. for an hour or so, but it is a safety thing not to let things stay out too long although it might be OK. I tend to put the tenderizer on about 20 minutes before. I agree that it can make things too mushy, although I have put it on meat even hours before. It may depend on the meat, the temperature, etc. It takes practice. Less is better & then go from there.

No, the instruction manual says, "Meats can be precooked, browned or grilled to get rid of as much fat as possible." Some of Emeril's recipes that come with the slow cooker calls for you to brown/sear meat in a skillet before putting in the slow cooker. Also things like sauteing onions and garlic before hand.

hi if you are cooking something with a high fat content then no but if it is not high in fat then yes but you only need to brush a bit of oil on the plate. hope this helps

Yes , it's a rotisserie you can also do rib's and a beef roast everything turns out delicious nicely brown and crisp on the out side and moist and juicy on the inside, you will never want chicken any other way you can also do smaller parts like wings and thighs in the basket and all the parts of the rotisserie come easily apart to fit in the dishwasher.

you can cook meet but i will not advise to cook a full chicken. Saussage or small part of a chicken is ok. you cannot add butter or oil so it is cook only by steam

yes, you can reduce the heat ( for instance chicken)so that it doesn't cook on high the whole time, just make sure you have a good burn going first. Cooking time varies with the thickness of the cut and how well done you want your meet.

A simple fix is to use a little olive oil on you meat and or vegetables, I will usually marinade my steaks and chicken with a little oil before cooking. Vegetables u can just brush it on or brush it on your chicken or steaks as well before cooking if you do not want to marinade.
