How is this different from a basic slow cooker?

It adds saute, steam, white rice and delay start to the usual low, high and warm. That means you can brown meat in the pot before slow cooking instead of using a separate pan.

Can I put the liner in the dishwasher?

Yes, the nonstick aluminum alloy liner is listed as dishwasher safe. Hand washing is gentler on the nonstick coating over time.

Does the delay start need to be set before cooking?

Yes. Set the delay, then the cooking function and time, and the cooker starts on its own. Perishable ingredients should not sit unrefrigerated for long delays.

How long is the power cord?

It runs roughly 29.6 to 39.4 inches, deliberately short to reduce tripping and tangling. Plan on a nearby outlet rather than an extension cord.

What comes in the box?

The slow cooker with its timer and liner. No extra inserts or accessories are listed.

Is 5.5 quarts enough for a family?

It is a good fit for four to six people or a batch with leftovers. It is large for one or two people cooking single portions.

Our take on the AsterOutdoor 5.5 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker

The AsterOutdoor 5.5 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker is a round stainless steel multi-cooker with a nonstick aluminum alloy liner and a touch panel. It covers slow cook high, slow cook low, white rice, steam, saute, warm and delay start, so it can brown food and hold it warm in the same pot. The thickened stainless housing is built to run cooler than plastic-bodied rivals and avoid plastic odor. It suits households of four to six who want one pot for stews, rice and steamed dishes, but its 1 kW draw and tall 19-inch body are worth checking against your counter and outlet.

About the AsterOutdoor 5.5 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker

This is a 5.5-quart programmable slow cooker with a timer. It has a non-stick aluminum alloy liner and a round stainless steel housing.

The housing is made of thickened stainless steel. The temperature that reaches the housing is reduced by more than 30% while the cooker is working. The housing does not deform from heat or give off the pungent smell that some plastic shells do.

Cooking functions include slow cook high, slow cook low, white rice, steam, saute, warm and delay. The power cord is kept short, at about 29.56 to 39.37 inches, to reduce the risk of tangling or tripping.
